Cuts are not straight.

Check the alignment of your saw with the guide rail. Ensure the rail is securely clamped, and the blade is perpendicular to the cutting surface. Check the blade for damage.

Saw is binding during the cut.

Ensure the blade is sharp and appropriate for the material. Check for any obstructions along the cutting path. Reduce the cutting speed if necessary.
