Let the blade come up to speed and the let the blade do the cutting - don't force it forward. Sometimes the teeth can dull on one side which will always lead to to blade wondering and not cutting true.
If you want to get spendy these work well with guide rails and make getting a perfectly square cut easy. It may be slightly excessive for your average DIYer though.
