Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner! The blade bolt was not tight enough.
Thanks a lot John! Works great now.

Ah, that's good. Such simple things can really slow you down.

If you are using any extension cord, make sure it is a "heavy duty"
cord rated for 13 amps or more.

As others said, the teeth should be aimed to cut upward at the front
of the saw.

Also,it could be just a DULL blade.
and trying to change cutting direction once in the cut can jam the blade in
the kerf.

BTW,is it a cordless or corded saw?

Lets see, 13 amp saw. To run that cordless, you'd need a nicad
about the size of a small car.
