First aid Made Nov 9, 2025, sent to the company Nov 19, 2025, published by CPSC Dec 4, 2025
The product, in the report: Protmax Polisher/Sander K17621 The on/off switch is just a bad idea. If you go to Amazon and check the customer reviews on the itemyou will see that this a common problem...
The item is a Protmax model K17621 Polisher/Sander battery powered. he on/off switch can go on inadvertently. When changing buffer pads or sand disk with out removing the battery, holding the unit upside down to get to the item to be changed, the on/off switch can be touched (actually will) and the unit will go on causing injury . Especially if sand paper is being changed. You asked when it happened, it happens all the time from the first time I used it..
