It can be a couple things:
1) Armature is magnetized
2) Soft-start module is bad
If you pull the armature, you will see the sides are shiny and worn from rubbing the field if it is magnetized
Likely your problem is the module though
field winding failure
bad armature
worn out brushed
faulty armature
bad bearings
indications are anew motor is required or gear box ( if it has one ) has problems
The Ryobi RJ160V does not have a clutch, it has a direct drive system: the armature has a gear pressed on the end of it that turns a bevel gear with an off-set pin on it. This pin fits into a slot on the end of the saw bar assembly which is what you attach the blade to. If you have slipping it could be stripped armature gear teeth or bevel gear teeth or both or the pin on the bevel gear is broke off.
Is there anything else running while you are cutting? If not is the breaker 15 amp or 20 amp. If its 15 amp, I would change it to a 20 amp breaker. Make sure the wires are thick enough to handle the extra load. If this isn't the problem check the cord from the saw to the outlet.
