Thermal cut out
Most Dyson vacuums have a built in safety system that stops the machine if it
begins to overheat. This usually happens because the filter needs washing or
your machine is blocked. If your machine turns off on its own, unplug it and
leave it for at least an hour to cool down. Remember to check the filter and
look for blockages before re-starting.
Any non- domestic use may adversely affect the filter performance
such as vacuuming up plaster dust.
Sounds like your vacuum is overheating. Check the above.

Many devices including this one have what's known as a thermal cut out.
It is there for obvious safety reasons and prevents the temperature in
the locality of the cut out from exceeding a pre-defined value.
Some of them require you to press a reset button in order to switch the
power back on and other types simply reconnect the electricity supply
when the temperature returns to normal (safe) operating limits.
The Dyson DC07 has a thermal cut out located close to the motor and it is of the "self resetting" type.
If your vacuum cleaner switches off after a few minutes the most
probable cause (there can be others) is the thermal cut out has
operated.
The first and most important thing to do is to establish why it has
operated.... If the airflow around the motor has become restricted then
it will not be being sufficiently cooled and so it will have cut out
correctly. However, thermal cut outs are often quite crude internally
and it is not uncommon for them to start cutting out at too low a
temperature. So...
Here's what to do...
(some tools may be required to complete the following so read the entire
procedure before starting. Please note this is not an absolute guide if
you need really foolproof step by step instructions... buy a manual!
But this should help)
Check all these parts for blockages/clogging before continuing...
There are now only two areas left that I know of which may cause
further blockages. One is the "whole of life filter" located under the
dust bin and the other one is inside each of those seven little cones
(cyclonic chambers) at the top of the dust bin (root 8 cyclone is
usually written on one of them). The following will require some tools
and some common sense...
If none of this revealed anything very positive... Its time to open up and inspect the motor casing/thermal cut out.
**** WARNING**** The next section requires someone who is technically
minded, has fiddly fingers patience and a basic understanding of
typical plastic goods assembly techniques. As I am not including
photo's the descriptions given can only be considered as pointers to
how to do it (I'm not writing a Haynes manual here! So if you are a cak
handed clot with little or no patience and a tendency to resort to ever
bigger hammers - take the vacuum cleaner to an independent repair shop
- explain the symptoms, tell them what you have done so far and leave it
to them!!
NB. NEVER remove or bypass the cut out. this really could be very dangerous!
I hope this is of some help... Regards to all.

Is the machine not turning on? There may be a push button circuit breaker on this machine but I doubt it. I have no personel experience with this specific device. Are you sure you have power going to the sweeper? All guards, filters and shields are in their proper place?
Let me know

SOURCE: My Dyson DC20 motorhead vacuum has a blocked hose
Usually a plugged hose can be cleared using a broom handle, if you can force the blockage through, if not as previously suggested a coat hanger attached to the broom handle (duck tape will do) straighten out hanger so it can be used like a cork screw to screw into the blockage and pull it out, socks,underwear and pantyhose are the usual suspects!

There sould be a rubber flap under the pipe.Pull it down to remove dust and **** that gets stuck.
