Default Circular Saw Burning/Smoking Problem

I'm pretty sure that it is not. The arrows on the blade are going the
same direction as the arrow on the saw, thus the teeth are pointed
upwards at the front of the saw (if that makes any sense). Anything
else that could cause this? Otherwise, its back to the home depot and
pray they return it.

Is the blade on backwards?



Oops. I didn't see the "Skill saw." Sorry,
forget what I said.

Possible causes are a poor blade, saw blade not
parallel to the tracking edge of the saw, end play
of the bearings.
