OLDER Electric Hedge Trimmer: Motor just began whistling?

Motor just started making a whistling sound. The blade movement also seems to be impaired as if by increased friction. Black & Decker Hedge Hog; Date Code:20032349. Catalogue Nos. HS1010,HS2400. 22" Hedge Trimmer No. 8144, Type 7, 120 V AC only, 2.8 Amps. 3000 CSPM.
