Hey, new to the forum and dewalt!
Got a new dcd785d2 and love it!!,
was wondering is it normal for it to get
Hot after a couple minutes use ?, could b just
Paranoid after burning out a makita lxt at the wkend.
Do you mean the DCD795D2? It has a brushless motor and it shouldn’t run as hot as a brushed motor. But because it is a motor and it’s spinning some heat is normal, particularly during heavy use.
Sorry meant the dcd785c2 18v xr!
The DCD785C2 is not an “XR” or brushless drill. So yes, it is normal for the motor to get hot, particularly during heavy applications.
Actually it is an xr!, it’s the 18v xr European version
, stands for extra run time I think, but ur right its not brushless
!, thanks for the info !!
