I am curious don't you need thicker insulation at the higher voltage
and therefore cable rated for 220V and the correct amperage?. Also what
is the amperage rating of your saw?

The gauge of wire needed is determined by the current (amperage) that it needs
to carry, and not by the voltage. The tool will draw half the amps at 240V
that it draws at 120V, and thus can actually use a *lighter* gauge of wi
you could run it on a 15A circuit at 240V.
