A Few Things

i've had a 7336 since 01 or 02ish ( just never found the time to take on detail jobs). new open box for $65 and never really used it till about a year ago. i placed a order here for 106ff and loved what it did with a gray pad.

i stepped up to the 'free' 5.5 orange pad and the machine was uncontrolable not smooth and jumping all over teh place. from i read here teh 7336 is just a store version with a bigger counter weight. i'm also using a Proper auto care backing plate if that helps. so how do i fix this problem, before i place another order and dont order teh 'fix' ?

alos i've seen some of the mods for the PC, can you post up some links. some of the slang you guys use makes it hard to search

Re: A Few Things

I have never seen any difference with either counterweight. The orange pad is more abrasive and needs a bit of a steady hand. I personally dont use the included side handle, I just hold the machine in the front center.

I stopped using the side handle as well. Holding the head of the machine seems to work out much better for me. More comfortable.
