No worries. You tripped a breaker, is all. I reset it.

If you need the sander after this happens, try rolling it to another plug, and see if that works. Just be aware that some power cords dangling from overhead are on the same breaker. I found 3 that didn’t work until I reset the one breaker. . Most plugs are labeled with panel and circuit information.
