Yes, Leon, I was using it with an extension cord for a while before this
happened. So what have I done? Thanks again, JG

My Speed Bloc has started to operate at a much faster speed. The manual
does not mention any brake / clutch pad that needs replacement. Any
ideas? Thanks, JG

It is just a motor that spins. Could you have possibly been using an
extension cord prior to it speeding up?
