Seeing Electric inside sander?

I can see the electricity flashing inside my orbital sander when using it on the ceiling, it is working perfectly but i don't like seeing the blue and white sparks inside the motor area as it is distracting to me.
This is my first sander i think it is called the bosch pex plug-in sander.
I have emailed bosch but still waiting for a response!

It will be the brushes, not unusual to see sparks inside a motor.1

There is often a suppressor across the brushes to limit the arcing. They don't eliminate it entirely, so little blue sparks are to be expected.TadleyBaggie said: It will be the brushes, not unusual to see sparks inside a motor.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
