my saw seems to have a hard time going through wood and it burns the wood on both sides, smoking as it goes. seems to want to pull to the right. the blade is on tight and it's a new blade. thought at first it was because I can't cut straight but it does it everytime, everywhere. I know I'm not that bad of a cutter

are you cutting with a cross cut blade, or a rip blade, may be the wrong type of blade, replace it,

still thinking it's BLADE related- usually due to design of blade the grove cut is slightly larger than the body of the blade to prevent binding. (or in ur case smoking). wet wood or wrong blade for use (like a finsh cut blade for framing)? as above a check for correct blade mounting would also be good.

The Blade spins on a "wheel" and any deviation from perfectly circular. what you have described is obviously a wobbling effect that happens on cheap and/or poorly cared for saws.
It is cheaper to but new (DeWalt) then to try to fix it. Keep the blade if it is new use it next saw.

I think you may have a cheap blade or wrong selection for the task, or still you may have the Washer on the wrong side of the blade.
While I was a remodeller I used Dewalt blades exclusively...
They can take profesional torture (he he he ) and still cut great smooth lines. :)

Replace or sharpen the blade. Sounds like a lousy saw.

Check to make sure you have blade installed in right direction. Just a thought.

it sounds like the blade is put on backwards, even new blades can be damaged sometimes, lay the blade on a flat smooth surface, if it doesnt lay nice and flat blade is warpt thow it away

Skill saws have two settings..one is for depth and the other for an angle..it may be set slightly off the zero degree mark on the angle part, thus casuing it to be in a bind...Check the little wing nut on the angle part..it may be set off just slightly..
