5. Replaced strain relief. Routed new cord the same as old cord and tightened screws holding terminal ends.

Unplug machine, look inside to assess problem. Mine showed melting of the trigger switch/power wire connection. Note location of all wires before disassembling. remove four wires and inspect...the melted one may need to be cleaned up. While machine is open, it's a good time to blow out all dust/clean with compressed air. Insert splices on two incoming power wires and reattach all four wires in original locations. Reassemble in reverse order.

Remove old pad by taking out one bolt. remove old friction ring (note orientation and just pull it off ) install new ring and sanding pad in reverse order.

Test your repair and have fun ! I have a sander that's good as new.
