Hi Len. Appreciate the caution about overloading petrol trimmers.
But that's not what I'm using.

Electric motors can get overloaded, as Len says. You cannot change physics.
They just react differently> They can burn out suddenly.
Not to say it will though. It depends on how tough a build the motor is.
With continues running it most certainly will.
But with short burts, and cooling time between, it will probably go a long
time.
