    When you bring home that brand new ROS as the pride of your finishing fleet, display it before SWMBO (who secretly views the cost and subconsciously farewells the planned anniversary night at a swank city hotel), and you are test sanding a piece of scrap on the bench -there - are a couple of things to remember:
    1. DO remember to place the sanding disc on the pad...
    2. DO place extraneous polishing cloths AWAY from where they can be sucked into said ROS!!
    If not, the following consequences may apply:
    a. it destroys cloth
    b. it destroys said pride of the finishing fleet
    c. it destroys confidence in one's perception as a remarkable workshop talent
    d. it destroys relationship with credit card company
    e. it evaporates aspirations for that long-awaited anniversary conubial with SWMBO
    f. Bunnings staff do have long memories!
