I have this saw over 2 years and in did I have used it beyond manufacturing recommendation never have any problem but isn't for professional use. It's like having a mustang GT with gas tank in the reserve, for a day work you need a truck load of batteries and they are priced like gold.
Your chain is blunt bud
And also it needs to be tentioned more
That saw would rip through that small tree if the chain was sharp
