I won this circular saw through a work contest and tried to use it
the
other day and found it very difficult to cut through a 2x4. It's
brand
new so I was wondering if I wasn't using it correctly. I let it warm
up to full speed then no matter how slow I proceed the blame stops
when it cuts through a small part of the wood. Is there something
that needs to be adjusted or did I get a dud?

Here's a link to the product

If you are using any extension cord, make sure it is a "heavy duty"
cord rated for 13 amps or more.

As others said, the teeth should be aimed to cut upward at the front
of the saw.
