Don't know and yes it is running at normal speed.

Not recently but yes I have regularly when using the saw, I did it again
over the weekend and I will see if that helps.

Yes it does.

I threw in a new blade over the weekend along with a really good
cleaning of the motor, we will see what happens but from the responses I
got it seems its likely not the motor itself, just poor maintenance and
dull blade, I have quite a bit of cutting within the next few weeks so I
will test it.
