Blade on backwards? OK, stop laughing.

Worn bearings can cause it to roar, and if it's really bad,
I would
probably replace it. But if the blade is spinning at a good
speed and
it's not cutting, then either the blade is dull or the wrong
kind for
what you're trying to cut.

There are times when the blade is purposely put on backwards, like to
cut through vinyl siding on a house. It sort of melts it's way through
without cracking the old vinyl. The saw that only gets used 2 times a
year gets forgotten about and there you have it, a blade on backwards.
Not to mention that most or all new saw blades have the rotation marked
on it with arrows. Evidently some people need the arrows or they
wouldn't be there. Me? I manage quite well without the arrows but for
some people they change the blade, installing a used blade with the
arrows worn off, and oops. Sounds stupid, but some people simply don't
have the ability to look and understand mechanical things the way we do.

My 25yo B&D indeed roars. Kerf is a tad wide too :-)

Hi,
If blade is not the problem. Check brushes on the motor.

I don't think they give a lifetime warranty on any power tools.
