Makita ROS issues?

[graduate_owner]

Hi all,
I have a Makita random orbit sander which takes 150mm sanding disks. I noticed recently that when I apply even very light pressure, the rotation slows almost to a stop. I have not noticed this before and indeed it might have been like that from new. Does anyone have a similar sander, and could tell me if this is 'normal' or is my sander faulty.

Thanks.

I’ve not had this issue but it’s not supposed to stop . Do you have the manual for it . Hopefully it’s just a drive belt rather than a motor issue..maybe post the model number and other members can help you who may have the same model..
