Motor cuts out on Metabo HC 260

[Nigel55]

We have some less than competent woodworkers at The Woking Community Furniture Project.

It stopped working.... So, I replaced the fuse. Voila. Then I noticed someone had put the blades in backwards - like trying to drill a hole with the drill rotating counter clockwise.

Sorted that all out.

The big issue is that it works fine until the motor probably over heats (My guess) and then cuts out. I wait for 5-10 minutes - then it will run again for another 3 minutes.

What should I be looking at - a replacement motor?

Cheers

Is there a thermal fuse on it somewhere?

Thank-you. There is a discussion covering this issue here. Elektra Beckum Motor Protection Reset

You have pointed me in the correct direction.
