Is this tool known to get hot?
We have two of these at my work. It becomes very hot to hold after only about 4-5 minutes of running. And I do mean "hot"--hot enough to make the body distinctly uncomfortable to hold, and hot enough for me to worry about soldered connections inside melting. Connecting a dust hose to my 2 1/2" shop vacuum helps cool it a bit, but merely enough to double the run time to about 8-10 minutes. Then I set this sander aside and let it cool down for about 15 minutes before using it again. Yes it is known to get hot
