    New Bosch jigsaw overheating??

    Just got a new Bosch 1591EVSK "barrel grip" jigsaw and have a question.

    Within only a few seconds of use, the saw gets VERY hot. Almost to the point where I can't touch it for a few minutes. No burning smell. Is this normal?

    Also, I thought this saw had "soft start," but that doesn't seem to be the case. I wonder if my saw might be defective??
