I was over at my grandmother-in-law's place today doing some weed trimming. It's a fairly large lot with lots of trees and fences to trim around. After about an hour of solid work, I shut off the trimmer to change the line. Went to crank it back up and it would idle but shut off when I gave it the throttle. After I let it sit for a good 30 minutes, it worked fine again. So I assume it overheated?

This doesn't seem to be just this particular trimmer, as I had a different one the last time I did this at her property. Except that trimmer overheated after only 30 minutes of runtime.

Is there a good way to keep these things cool? Or is it just the consumer grade equipment isn't meant for long sessions, and I should get a commercial grade unit?
