PC Random Orbit #333 starts slow...

[Doug Swanson]

Hi,
I have a PC Random Orbit sander #333 that when I turn it on for the first time it takes awhile for it to come up to speed...you can hear it trying to speedup. What could be causing this? does it need new brushes or just a good cleaning (which it probably does).

Thanks
Doug

The 333 is "brushless" - one of the advantages of the unit. I would try to blow it out with a compressor and see if that helps. Otherwise, sorry, not of much help.
