It sounds like you are cutting something heavier than your saw can handle. I would check the manual and the limitations of your saw. If it is getting bogged down when sawing very small, thin things then the chain might need to be replaced. Don't keep using it until you have replaced the chain if that is the case.
Every saw is going to bog down some when cutting. What condition is the blade? I would need more information on what kind of saw it is in order to try and help. Is this gas powered? Wet saw? Wood, concert or steel?
Yes. Suggestions: - make sure you're using the least amount of extension cord possible to keep the motor cool - use a sharp blade, prefferably carbide tipped - don't force the saw through the cuts if the motor is bogging down slow down the cut speed.
hi, check the motor and the motor controlling card. check the motor is it over heating or not. also check the speed sensor beside the motor pulley. clean the speed sensor and refix it. then test again ok
Check your air filter, if clean chances are your carburetor needs to be rebuilt. the carburetor has thin diapragms that get hard and won't meter the fuel in fast enough.
Check the air filter and the muffler if either are plugged up it will not run smooth. Carb hi and low screws are very sensitive so if you change them, only move them a little at a time.
I think you are saying it starts and runs fine but bogs down when making a cut. If true turn the mixture screw marked "H" CCW ¼ turn and try it in a cut. Better? If not turn it CW 3/8 turn and try again. Careful CW is leaner; to lean will ruin your piston and cylinder. HTH

the start of the cut is starting to close up and pinch the back of the blade once you have gone past centre,if the blade is past the starting edge you can tap a small wedge into the start of the cut and that will stop it .I AM AN EXP SAW PERSON TO PROVE IT I ONLY HAVE A THUMB, AND ONE REATTATCHED FINGER ON ONE HAND .that happened on a bench saw only the back of the saw blade lifts the wood and for some reason i pushed it back down,DUMB ..Be careful and think before you do , But a wedge will solve your problem
Is the blade secure on the arbor, or is the motor itself bogging down?
If the motor is bogging down, make sure you let it come up to speed before making your cut...then let the blade do the cutting, instead of forcing it through the material. Also be sure the material is securely resting against the fence and the base of the saw, so as not to pinch in the middle of a cut.
Make sure you have a good power supply to the motor, and not a long skinny extension cord or the like.
I guess it's possible, if the saw is older or has been under heavy use, that the brushes are worn out and need replacing, but it's also possible the motor is just worn out. (Altho I have rarely if ever seen this occur.)
If you rule out operator error and power source, and the brushes are good, and of course the blade is sharp and clean, the I guess the motor must be at fault, and should be checked at a local service center.
I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread. If I've managed to answer your question or solve a problem, please take a moment to kindly rate this post....thanks!
Horsepower is the maximum power produced by the motor. Saws with high horsepower ratings are good for pattern cutting and cutting down thick stock. Higher horsepower also allows the saw to cut through thick stock without bogging down or burning the wood.
