    See section “Power Connections:” for addition extension cord information. 4. The voltage range for the GC25E UP saw is 108v to 125v with 115 to 120v being perfect. Lower than 108v will cause motor overheating, circuit breaker tripping, and motor failure over time.

As you push it harder the motor will draw more amperage which will over time trip the breaker. The motor with a medium working load will pull around 13A and will run with no problem.
