My belt sander speed seems to fluctuate from slow to normal speed as
well as not have much power when I use it.
I use it mounted upside down.
I thought it might be the sanding belt being too loose on the rollers
but that wouldn't make the motor slow.
I haven't pulled it apart yet but was hoping someone might point me in
the right direction.
It is a Ryobi CB76K (in Australia but made in China)
Thanks,
Tana

I would suspect brushes. Check/change them immediately. Failing to do so can
destroy your motor.
