The best advice I have for this situation is to keep a sharp carbide tipped blade on it. Cut a bit slower, let the blade do the work and don't force it. Lastly, secure the material you are cutting. It will be safer and the cuts will be more accurate.

Along with this, make sure you carefully inspect your blade, you might need to replace the blade if it is grabbing onto your material. (broken teeth)
And always ALWAYS clamp what you are cutting.
