After 3 or 4 years of great service my PC 340 palm sander is behaving oddly. On start up all is well but after perhaps a minute the speed slows to about 50% (and obviously motor noise too). Any ideas? I've stripped it down and cleaned out most of the sanding dust as much as possible including any carbon build up on the armature. Brushes seem ok with plenty of material left and springs seem, well, springy enough.
Any ideas? A PC service is not an option (nearest is 2,000 miles away). Perhaps I've not managed to get to all the dust and I need to have another go at stripping and cleaning.
TIA,
Noel
