Hi, I bought a set of horse body clippers used and they work ok, but the body (where you hold onto them) heat up within a minute or so to the point I can't hold onto them. The blades move fine and are sharp. I have oil the blades and area around the blade, and have taken apart the blade area, and cleaned under there, but they still heat up. What else can I do? They don't seem that old. Thanks.

Throw them away, they are overheating and there is a serious electrical fault which will eventually make them melt and burn.
