    All the years I never had anything stuck in a sander.
    Tell me your hand wasn’t in it…….

    I’m not familiar with the brand of sander but perhaps pulling it out in the opposite direction of belt travel?

    Release the tension….

    Cut away most of the extra, clamp or brace the sander and somehow pull it out?

    There’s not much to take apart….
