I guess I should have asked the question this way. Am I a "registered" UDM user/owner?

Sold to an end user... Yes. Imported for resale... No!



Every country is different regarding regarding electrical and mechanical safety requirements. However, in general all states in the EU follow the same basic requirements regarding safety standards on electrical products for import and resale. The CE and GS marks are the most recognized safety marks in Europe, just as the CSA and UL marks are recognized here in North America.



That said, there are no regulations or restrictions for an individual purchasing a product from a foriegn country for personal use. That's why so many Porter Cable polishers are being sold into the UK, EU and down under in AU. The Porter Cable polisher has only the UL mark, which is only recognized in America.

OK DavidB. You have a PM ;)



Thanks
 
Apparently AutoGeek has received spare switches....I talked to Lynn on Tuesday but she did not have an update on when they would be available nor info on the manual.
 
I got my UDM today from eShine.ca and got the updated switch with it too! Awesome! I just need to know, how do I remove the old switch? Do I just pop it off with a screwdriver? I'm afraid to ruin the UDM by doing it wrong!

AG has them now :)
 
Just received my UDM yesterday. Another registration problem. I got the serial number from under the counterweight cover (it was the same as the number on the outside of the box). I used Outlook Express rather than my normal Firefox, but like many others I get the "invalid serial number" message.



I want to get the new switch, but I'm figuring I can't till it's registered.



Dave or Lynn can you advise?

I got my switch off by just flicking the other one off by pulling it. Then while using a small eyeglass screwdriver you have to support the hole upwards while you snap the new switch in. You will understand what I mean if you just try popping the new switch in, the hole flexes and it wont snap in. Hope that makes sense.

Hi,



I registered my UDM, but how would I go about requesting a NEW switch?

I believe you got yours from us? If so, just email me with the order number or customer name and I will send you one.

Thanks Chris! I actually decided to stick with the original switch for now, to see if I have any problems with it, and I wonder why so many people have said that they've accidentally turned it on or off. I can't see that happening with me, I haven't even come close to doing this once. I've used my UDM for a total of about 4 or 5 hours so far and have not had any problems.



This unit is awesome! I like it a lot better than the PC 7424 I tried out a few weeks ago at a friend's house. The PC would bog down with too much pressure on it, but the UDM barely slows down at all when you do this.
 
It happened a couple times to me today using it for several hours. Yes, if you careful on how you handle it (watch that thumb) and set it carefully down on its side it is not a big problem but once is enough when polish flies everywhere. I like the location and switch is a nice size but it just needs to side ribs on housing to protect it when off as well as on.
