My random orbit sander keeps shocking me. How do I ground it?
I have a DeWalt variable speed 20v battery random orbit sander hooked up to a Rigid shop vac for dust extraction. Every minute or so while using it to sand this walnut table I get a small but painful electric shock in the hand that is holding its plastic grip. Every time I get shocked, the speed of the sander changes somewhat.
This never happened before I connected the shop vac to the sander. I think the cause is static electricity generated by saw dust moving through the vacuum hose. It shocks me through rubberized work gloves. How can I ground it? Run a length of copper wire through the hose? What would I ground that to? The ground on the vacuum’s electrical cord? Call an exorcist?
