EGO EGO POWER+ HT2411 24-Inch 56V Cordless Hedge Trimmer MOTOR-OVERHEAT Error Fix: Brushless Motor Overheated

The tool shuts down during extended heavy use due to motor thermal protection — the brushless motor has an internal thermal sensor that triggers shutdown to prevent permanent damage; stop using the tool, remove the battery, and allow 15-30 minutes for the motor to cool; this commonly occurs when forcing the tool through material that exceeds its design capacity
