Shindowa Chainsaw looses power

[JHC]

I have a year and half old Shindowa Chainsaw thats starts fine but looses power quickly when I start cutting.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Clean spark arrestor screen or remove completely.

Maybe your chain is dull to the point that it is grabbing instead of cutting and is pulling your saw down.

That would be my guess the screen.

Air filter would be the first thing i'd check. Its probibly dirty. Also check the fuel filter in the gas tank. It may be clogged with dirt and debris and it can't get enough gas. Also like the others said clean the spark arrestor.
