My new Hitachi CS33EB starts fine when cold but after about ten minutes of use and shutting down for even two minutes it won't start until totally cooled off. I am at an elevation of 6800 feet. Does this affect the problem?
See if you loosing spark when it doesn't start

This sounds very much like a bad ignition unit, if they are going to break down they will do it when they are hot, the only answer here is to replace the unit.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the quick feedback. I'll give that a try."

Loosen the fuel cap just before you shut it down. Close it just prior to restart. If that corrects it, there is a fuel vent problem. HTH

might pay to check the fuel tank breather , make sure its venting
check the ignition coil it may be going open circuit loosing its spark when it getts warm or hot , you have to wait till it cools to re-start
you will need a spark tester fitted in between ht lead and plug to check this visually when its running
check for a kill wire grounding 1st
cheers
