While cutting on the jigsaw with the sanding disk attached I tested the GFI/GFCI and circuit breaker by sanding through the lamp cord. I would not recommend this method of testing it leaves black marks on the sanding disk.

I got my education in this subject back during those days before double insulated power drills. I drilled through a power cord that was under the material I was working on. That was a shocking experience I can do without.garys wrote:Because, Stuff Happens.
Anybody who has never cut, sanded, or otherwise damaged an electrical cord just isn't trying hard enough.
