My PC is not spining?

[linhsy]

Need you guys advices,



I have recently bought the PC 7336 from Lowes. Today, I tried it. If I turn the PC on and let it spin freely without put it on the car surface, then it is spinning. However, as soon as I put it down onto the car`s surface, then it refuses to spin...If I crank it up to 5, then it spin really slow. I can even hold the pad by my hand. I notice although the center is not spinning, the counterweight is still spinning. and a lot of vibration.



Any Idea? Did I forget to turn on some switch?



Thanks!

it is NOT supposed to really spin



it just jiggles and vibrates around on the surface



this is how it is DESIGNED to work

Exactly. If you want a machine that spins then you want to get a rotary. The PC is safer for beginners because its not going to spin at super high speeds and burn your paint. The `jiggling` action is sufficient to remove swirls and do just about whatever you want to your car. Its definitely doing what it is supposed to do.

linhsy, this is probably obvious from the other replies but ... Just don`t "lay on the pressure" when you use it on your car. Me, I`m still trying to find the right combinations of the PC`s speed-setting and my own pressure. I think maybe it takes a while to get the right combo.
