why does the blower get real hot when running a short time

It's a small engine doing a lot of work. It gets hot in just a minute or so. Nothing to worry about.

All engines get hot. Don't forget every engine is powered by small explosions inside, hence the heat. 2 stroke engines actually need to be run W.O.T. wide open throttle to get the max power out of them.

I don't remember it being hot. I would only worry if it was hot by the motor or plug. I have 2, been using for years without a problem.

Hi, I have only had that happen when I use the unit for an hour of more. I reckon that the quality of the product varies, and your unit may be overheating more than normal.

The motor has a thermo cut out to protect the motor If you put to much down pressure the motor will heat up the motor faster, try using mild pressure and see what happens. I did not run my saw that long, project was small and the saw worked great. Good Luck!!

I really don't know. Mine always starts quickly and I've never had any problems with it. I would suggest calling up the manufacturer of the generator.

More than likely there's a pin size hole in the blower (metal plate). This happen on two of mine and they're getting returned today.

Mine is hot too since I started to use it. I have to unplug it when I don't use it.

You have to be more specific... but anyway, here are my two cents: I suspect that the blower or the wiring to the motor is bad, because the motor should operate when the manual mode is selected (FAN). Check for voltage a the fan when the FAN is selected, if there is voltage at the terminal, the blower is bad, if not, check for an open to the wires. Also you can jump terminal R & G at the terminal strip, that should turn the fan on. Good luck

It should NOT blow out hot air. Your unit may be defective. I'm very happy with this product.

You have option to use cool or hot air while blower is running. There is a small button that will blast either air for cool or hot shot. Hope this helps you.

It shouldn't be over heating, but a cool down period is normal after a safety shutdown. I run mine for a solid hour, most times. Be sure you are grinding items recommended for the mill. If it is quickly overheating under normal operating conditions, you may have a defective unit.

These lamps get very hot, I have installed a relay that only powers them when the blower is on. (also saves energy) A sail switch can also be used to do this.

The fan on my unit comes on as soon as I plug it in. I assume it is malfunctioning! If you operate it without the fan running it will probably overheat and burn out the components.

It seems to just have low heat and high heat. It gets overheated very quickly too causing it to turn off.

Yes there is a lot of hot air coming out. Needs to go outside. Works great.

I have had mine for about nine months, so not during summer yet, but run it 24/7 and at speeds well above the minimum in a small room, and have never been able to tell that it is generating significant heat. At least, when I feel the unit itself it always seems to be at room temperature. YMMV of course, that is just my experience. ON THE OTHER HAND, I don't think you are going to cure dust problems running it on low all the time if you have as much dust as I do.

The blower plus more than 6A on startup. You'll need a more powerful supply.
