  Don't know and yes it is running at normal speed.

Not recently but yes I have regularly when using the saw, I did it again 
over the weekend and I will see if that helps.

  Yes it does.

  I threw in a new blade over the weekend along with a really good 
cleaning of the motor, we will see what happens but from the responses I 
got it seems its likely not the motor itself, just poor maintenance and 
dull blade, I have quite a bit of cutting within the next few weeks so I 
will test it.
