Have you ever had a power cord that was badly kinked?  Missing a ground on the plug, or even torn? This can create a safety hazard and costly replacements that can take you by surprise. The best way to avoid this is to make sure that your operators unplug the machine before rewinding; and then rewind the cord from the machine side to the unplugged end of the untethered cord. This will ensure that the stress is taken out of the cord while winding and wrapping back to the machine itself. Most manufacturers provide a cord wrap feature that encourage this behavior.
