D/A problem ?

[SunnyD]

i have a g110v1 and on speeds 1 to 3 and half it seems to make a putting noise sounds like it will quit if i put it under pressure but since the speed is so low it could be normal andi just didnt notice before is it normal speed 4 5 and 6 seem fine

another question how long should i go for with the g110 before turning it off for a bit or can i just leave it on until im done like ive been doing

Watch some of the Meguiar's videos either on this site or the Meguiar's Asia site on youtube.

Another is Junkman2008's site over at Adam's. Junkman has nice videos and he often doesn't cover the sounds with music.

Usually it doesn't run for that long when working on a test spot, since your product will begin to dry out and you must stop, wipe off, put product on the pad and start again. After your test spot, you still won't be working on a large area. As a result, your buffer doesn't run that long. More intermittent, rather than continuous. Just make sure you aren't covering the ventilation holes with you hands. I'm sure many of us get them pretty hot without any concerns. However, if it is so hot you can't touch it, you and it need a break.

If you are leaving it running when not buffing, you are "cruisin' for a bruisin'". The pad can fly off, the buffer can spin out of control when you set it down and reek havoc on the pad, the backing plate, the cord and even you.

Watch some good videos...Meguiar's and or Junkman's.

Thanks wifpd4.

One other major concern that you must pay real good attention to is the current output of the outlet that you are using and the gauge/length of the extension cord you are using. If you run too small of a gauge of extension cord, you can starve the unit of current and cause it to overheat. This will of course burn the motor up over time. In the owners manual, there should be a chart that shows what gauge extention cord you need to be using with consideration to how long the cord is. As an example, here is that chart for a PC:



That chart takes the guess work out of buying an extension cord for that polisher. I'm sure that your unit came with the same thing.

The other thing that you want to ensure is that you don't starve the unit of current by plugging up too many devices on the same circuit. For example, if you are working on a 10A circuit and you have various electrical things maxing out that circuit, you either going to trip it if you cross the high point far enough or your going to starve something of current. This again will eventually burn up the motor. You may be experiencing the early stages of this, however, I can not say that for sure.
