Does the pvc smell burnt when cut or does your saw? If it is the pvc than that it not particularly surprising, if its the saw than it is the brushes that your are smelling. Circular saw should work fine, I would just make sure to go slow, if you are using a 24 tooth blade than maybe use something a little finer.

I would say its either blade selection or the saw is on its way out. Could be just a dull blade too.
