    I have never had an over heating problem with mine but that's one way to deal with it. There's usually a few spots on a car I perfer to use my PC on so the metabo gets a break.

    I was thinking of getting a Metabo but I wasn't aware of any heating issues. Does the machine just get hot or does it stop working from the overheating? Do you think the machine is defective or could it be something like using the wrong gauge extension cord?

    If you use it at low speeds with frequent on/off operation it will get really hot/ shut off. Or I found if you use pads bigger than 5.5 and put pressure on the machine, it will shut off also.

    But STILL my favorite buffer BY FAR!

    Is a known problem from this machine. It doesn't like working at low speeds and, with this low speeds, applying pressure. If the machine shut off, just turn it on @6 in the air and the problem will be solved.

    I am thinking very heavily on getting one...... Almost pushed the order button last night. Maybe this week I will....
