Would it be a problem, from a safety perspective, if I used the 13 amp extension
cords on the 15 amp chow saw?

thanks


On a 100 ft cord the voltage drop will over heat the cord wires,
starve the tool motors and cause them to heat up very fast increasing
resistance. The tool motors require a certain wattage (amps X
volts). If it can't get the volts, it will draw more amps to get it's
wattage, which will heat up wires and the motors more - snow ball
effect. If your lucky, it will only trip the breakers .

Look at what the commercial pros use for cords. They aren't that big
because they like to spend money on wire.
