Sounds like blade isn`t cutting thru the wood more than its burning thru the wood ......get a fresh new blade ......proably how they sold it for cheap with a cheap blade ...had same problem here ...also when cutting wood be sure to set blade at right depth so that sides of blade are touching wood slowing down the motor
