Well, it is a 15A motor, so "technically" 14 gauge would be OK, but
I'm getting some bogging down so I thought maybe I could get a few

A saw that bogs down needs a sharp blade. Or the right blade. Look
over your stock, take the dull ones to a good sharpening shop and you
won't have to fuss over power cords. HTH
