I have a pd sander that when you first set it on the wood, it takes off in a random direction. You have to apply pressure to get it under control. i need some advice on how to correct the problem as it did not do this when it was new. I’ve checked the 4 plastic extensions, none broken. I’m wondering if the bearing is bad or if the sanding pad needs to be replaced. They both look fine now. Thanks for your help.
