On some Flymo machines the blade is directly attached to the motor - if the motor turns then the blade does too.
On other Flymo machine a flexible belt joins motor to blade. If the belt breaks or falls off the blade does not rotate even if the motor does.

It's not rocket science thinking it through.
Good luck...
