I am sure that one of you wise men will be able to point me in the right direction with a problem with my grinder.
Went to start it today and ... nothing; just a low hum. Gave the wheels a quick spin and they started to slowly go round and ( eventually ) started to pick up speed. When I turn it on I can see the wheel do a quick jerk but don't turn. The wheels are quite free and will turn and spin quite freely by hand, so I am presuming that this is an electronic problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Is this a repairable fault or is it a terminal job? Its only a cheap job and only used for the occasional regrinding job. Please bear in mind that I am not knowledgeable about electronics, so please go easy with me. Thanks in advance.
