I just got my New PC about 1 hour ago so I decided to plug it in and see how it felt and stuff. When I turned it on it made this Rakel noise like theirs something loose inside of it. I unplugged it and gave a quick check , I noticed that the piece that holds the counterweight if a bit loose well not loose it just has a little give or take side to side and that's whats making the noise . I think its normal but not really sure .Can someone please help me one this one I'm dieing to use it but I don't want ruin my truck or use it the way it is cause if its messed up I don't want to make it worst.

Don't hold the thing in the air and turn it on and then think there's a problem as it will likely rattle.
Place the backing plate on the unit, then place a foam pad on the backing plate and then either hold the face of your hand against the face of the foam pad or place the face of the foam pad against something clean and then turn it on.
We've had at least one other post like this where this was the exact problem, that is the member was testing the polisher by holding it in the air and then turning it on.
Don't really do this --> (polishing the air)
Let us know...

Read my above post and do what it says and then let us know what you experience.

LOL Yeah I was Polishing the air. I put on the foam that came with the PC and when I applied pressure to my hand most of the noise did go away . Thank you very much for the quick replies. Ohh yeah one more can I use the white pad #54745 the PC came with ? I haven't received my new pads yet.

Re: New PC making a Rakel noise?
Forum consensus is they're junk as far as applying liquid chemicals with the goal of doing something beneficial to the paint.
Most people keep them for use with a bonnet to remove dried wax but you can give it go and make up you're own mind.
Glad to hear everything is normal with your polisher.
