As mentioned above. Check for breaks in the cable, usualy up by the gromit. Check carbon brushes aren't worn and are clean. Run it on a flat area before trying it on the grass. Sharpen or replace the blade if it's turned itself into a flail that will put a strain on the motor... Also could be that the grass is just too long to start with and the motor can't physicaly turn the blunt blade through the grass.
Flymos, if it's a hover, are designed to hover and and cut the top inch from the blade of grass they are not designed to cut the bottom thicker part of the grass blade and will struggle. You will need to use a shrub cutter or strimmer with thick line before to get the hieght down.
If you have any of the above problems plus the motor fan is clogged this could also be tripping the thermal cut out very rapidly.
Out of interest how long is the grass?
