Default Jigsaw jams too often

Hi,
My Black & Decker jigsaw works if I ease into a cut, but recently has started to jam (and I hear the motor spin really fast and I hear gears slip) if I try to cut too fast. As I release the trigger, it starts to move again if no force is applied to the cut. So, it works, but only if I bring it up to full speed before starting a cut and avoid any sudden cuts or turns. Is this something easily repairable, or time to buy a new one?
Advice appreciated.
Many thanks
Theodore.
