livingwater Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I received my pc7424 today. Question: Is it supposed to sound like marbles in your hand being squeezed together numerous times while it is running free wheel (not pressed up against a surface)?

0 Bill-V8V Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Did you install the washer ? Mine did until I put that in. It was the backing plate rubbing against the PC's body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Baron_Von_Awesome Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Double check the washer like Bill said. The PC does vibrate quite a bit and can make a clacking sound when not pressed against anything. It's also fantastic for mixing drinks when rigged properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Devin04 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I don't know if this would make much of a difference but in the directions that came with the PC it says under operation "NEVER run or stop the tool when it is not in contact with the work surface."

0 GerryC Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I think that warning is if you are using it as a sander Just make sure you've installed the included washer as Bill said and you should be fine. Now that you mention it, it does kind of sound like marbles rubbing against each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 livingwater Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I put the spacer in before I started my buffer. I learn that from Junkman2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jjwvette Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 It's an orbital polisher,just feeling the oscillations I believe:2thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Baron_Von_Awesome Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 It's an orbital polisher,just feeling the oscillations I believe:2thumbs: Aye. The PC gives you some nasty vibrations. It's a bit more comfortable if you don't use the side handle - just hold it at 12:00 and 6:00. A quality set of mechanics gloves helps a bit too.
