I have several power tools with the constant speed circuitry that adds power as load increases to maintain the set rpm during use. The variance in rpm on startup is that circuitry "settling in" as it was described to me by one of the manufacturers.
It's normal, though can take a little getting used to if you never heard it before.

Tom, Thank you for the explanation. It puts my mind at ease. I thought there was a problem with it.
