The Jobmate 1500 relies on internal carbon brushes to deliver power to the motor. If the tool starts stuttering or losing power, unscrew the plastic brush caps on the sides of the body, inspect the brushes, and replace them if worn down past 1/8”.
| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | No power or faulty connection. | Check the mains socket with another device. Inspect the plug's connections and check/replace the fuse. | | Wheel Wobbles/Vibrates | Wheel is loose, misaligned, or damaged. | Tighten the retaining nut. If vibration persists, inspect the wheel for cracks. Do not use a damaged wheel —replace it immediately. | | Leaves a Rough Finish | Using too much pressure or working with soft alloys (like aluminum). | Reduce pressure. For soft alloys, the wheel can clog; stop and clean it with a dressing stick. |
