I bought a used skill 7.25 circular saw (#807) about a month ago for $10 bucks. I’ve cleaned it all up, checked the brushes and put a new cheap blade on it. Everytime I use it however, the smoke alarm goes off. It dosen’t appear to be binding. It says 5800 RPM…maybe 15 years ago..now I would say it a lot slower…not that I counted. Can someone suggest a cause of my problems? thanks
