DeWalt getting extremely hot
My DeWalt is getting extremely hot. So hot that you can't touch anything but the grips. It'll also stay hot for 30-45 minutes after using it. It just won't cool down.
I've always used compressed air to blow it out after using it, and it's always run warm, but never this hot.
Am I looking at a junk machine? I bought it from AG about 2 years ago.

Re: DeWalt getting extremely hot
Throw it in the garbage,ag has nothing to do with selling you a unit 2 years ago.That buffer is superheavey I don't know how someone can work with it to tiresome.If you took it to get repaired your probably at the minimum of 80.00 doesn't pay to fix it ,for 200 and change you can get a new one.check or replace the brushes that would be a basic start of diagnose.

I've used the same DWP849 five days a week, three to four hours a day for probably three or four years now. Only thing that gets hot is the metal casing at the top. Something is definitely wrong with your buffer. Ditto to what Evan said.

Have you opened up the vents? A lot of debris can accumulate in there.

The Flex 3401, Rupes 21 and BOSS 21 all weigh close to 5.73lbs. How is the Dewalt "super heavy" at 6.5lbs? FWIW, I have used mine numerous times and it's actually less strenuous than my gg6.

The Milwaukee 5540 weighs 8.8 pounds!

What I'm implying is the dewalt is heavy compared to today's machines.
