The DeWALT tool I purchased gets very hot and shuts down during operation. Is this normal, or is it a reason to contact a service center?

A DeWALT tool gets very hot and shuts down during operation. Is this normal or a reason to contact service? Here are practical and up-to-date steps that have helped other users:

If a DeWALT tool noticeably overheats and shuts down on its own during use, the first step is to submit a report on the Xolvie platform to document a potential defect and obtain an official comment from the seller or service center.

How to understand what’s happening:

Overheat protection may be normal.
Modern tools are equipped with protection systems: under overload, prolonged use, or high temperatures, they may temporarily shut down. If the tool works normally again after cooling down, this may be an operating characteristic rather than a defect.

When this is a warning sign.
You should contact a service center if:

the tool heats up very quickly even under normal load,

it shuts down shortly after being turned on,

overheating is accompanied by odor, power loss, or error signals,

the issue appeared soon after purchase.

Do not continue working if overheating is severe.
Using the tool in this condition may cause serious damage and complicate warranty service.

Document the symptoms.
Note how long it takes before shutdown occurs, what type of work you were doing, and which battery was used. These details are important for diagnostics.

Warranty service.
During the warranty period, such symptoms should be inspected by a service center. If you are told this is “normal,” request a written conclusion and be sure to document the situation on Xolvie to seek a re-evaluation or repair.
