New sander giving me shocks

[Dennis Jarchow]

Does adjusting the speed control show any change? Waiting game here

Yes but going from 1-6 on the speed control only change the measured voltage by 10% or so.

It's really weird that you have received two units with the same issue, but if they both came from the same supplier, perhaps it's a "batch"...

If you plug in a typical three prong outlet tester, does it light up correctly? (I know you checked manually but...)

Jim, I don't have one but can get one over the weekend.

Check neutral to ground in the receptacle you’re using. Just checking what can be checked with what you have.

Tom, I did measure both hot to ground and neutral to ground. Both were as expected. I also tried both sanders in outlets on different circuits.

Sounds like a recall coming.

If it were my sander...until it is resolved with the manufacturer, I would place a double layer of electrical tape over the screw so I could use it.

Is it the get75-6n? I have that one and I get shocked too. I was thinking it was static so I wrapped a bare wire around it and connected to some metal. Which hepa a little, but is annoying. I need to check mine for voltage. Thanks for posting this

That’s the same model I have. It’s never shocked me, but it’s one of the earlier produced ones.

Yes that is one I have
