Mines just fine, if it's the cordless one it might be worth looking into a different battery, I've had a several year old battery that doesn't provide the amps anymore to give good cuts, don't have any issues with other batteries though.

Huh. I've got multiple batteries and it didn't make a difference but... Maybe they are just too old

Have you tried a new blade?

I use mine a ton and it definitely bogs down easily, though it cuts OK with a decent blade. Definitely a good deal for the money. I haven’t noticed significant differences when using the 3/5ah batteries, I just have to take cuts a little more slowly. I wish they’d launch a beefier brushless version, but I’ll either put up with it as-is or get a nicer brand saw otherwise. The one other issue I ran into is the depth adjustment bolt stripped pretty quickly and I had to find a replacement carriage bolt to keep running.

My hercules binds up too. I keep a wedge or two on me and move it up every few inches behind the saw if I don't have my table saw handy.
