It just starts so abruptly that it really makes a bang been that way since new
Yes, glad to know I am not the only one. I am changing out the 12 gauge 3 wire cord supplied with the machine. The cord supplied was very short. I bought a 10 gauge 3 wire 12 feet long. I have run it, and it is incredibly smooth and leaves the board with an incredibly smooth surface. A bit of a bang on the startup. I checked everything for anything loose including belt tension. I think it will be fine. Maybe a soft start switch could have been a nice addition but I think it will be fine.
Thanks again everyone.
