I found the handheld Porter Cable belt sander on the rack today, with the power cord bound up between the housing and the belt. It looks like the cord got caught up by the belt, and someone put it back on the shelf that way, and left it.
I understand things like this happen. If it happens to you, please let us know, so that it can be fixed, and the tool is put back in service. There will not be any finger pointing or reprimands or recriminations, other than i may ask you to help with the fix.
