How can I fix my ryobi ELT1100QFA?

I have a electric ryobi weed-trimmer,ELT1100QFA,that cuts out after a few minutes use,but is OK after a pause of say,half-an-hour. This has happened two or three times,but it has finally given up the ghost. The local repair wallah says the engine has burned out,but this does'nt ring true because burn-out is usually accompanied by excessive heat and burning smells,neither of which has occurred. I suspect the trigger mechanism,but I'm not much good at rocket science! Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I was thinking it was the bushings going bad. I have the same problem with my 132r and am having difficulty finding parts and the ones i do find i might as well just buy a new one.. I have taken it apart and the switch is fine.. the motor is superhot though and bushings are unevenly worn, no indication of anything else getting too hot/ shorting out/ melting...

This is a common problem with the ELT1100QFA. The plastic in the switch melts with use and eventually the contacts do not touch.
