That's possible too, I store it in a official flex bag and there does seem to be a slight clearance issue. The Rupes bag I use has ample clearance I should probably store them both together once I repair it.
If it were me I would replace/repair the electrical cord. If your Flex is out of warranty (which mine is about a couple of years) you can easily replace/repair the cord. There are just a couple of screws holding the handle in place and just remove the handle and you can replace/repair the electrical cord. I was tinkering with my Flex just to see what made it run. It looks fairly easy to replace/repair the cord. If it were me I would look into finding out what is causing that failure. My guess a loose wire that just needs to be re-tightened.

After the repair, I get fluctuations in power causing RPM drops, occasionally they'll be a few second delay in speed adjustment as well. Do I have any recourse? Should I contact Flex?
The wires look like they've been butchered a bit but I'm not a electrician so....
So for $400 of German engineering you get cord failure in a few years? Shop/pro use or not, I'd be pissed. I guess even the Germans are caught up in this "cheaping out" trend. Disheartened to hear that.
I've had Fein sanders and Bosch power tools I bought in the '90's, and they have been put through hell and back. Never had a cord problem.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
any tool that is man-made can have issues at any given time and no brand is exempt. if a polisher is stored where the cord is bent at the end then eventually there can be a problem. it's always a good idea to give some loose leeway when storing it...
