Best Answer

If you mean stop/ stick while cutting /

the saw might be too small for the job. required.

The blade could be blunt.

Very wet timber can jamb the blade.

One tip is to cut a wedge hit this in at the rear of the timber

after the timber has passed through the saw about a foot.

AT ALL TIMES KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF SAW BLADE.

Either you are not cutting in a straight line, or the wood you are cutting is not supported properly on both sides of the cut. If the wood bends up or down during the cut, it can bind the blade.
