      If your Rikon Power Tools Sander does not operate, first, ensure it's properly plugged into a power outlet. If it is plugged in, the power switch might be defective and needs replacement. If neither of these solves the issue, there could be a motor or wiring problem, which should be repaired by a qualified electrician.
