Not sure if I want to try and rewire from the motor to the switch just yet but that may be a project for another day.

    You shouldn't need to rewire from the switch to the motor. I am assuming it came prewired. The wiring from the manufacturer is just fine.
    That 12AWG cord will carry more current than your saw is capable of using. It will last you the life of that saw and beyond easily.

    I would just add as a simple test, grab the cord close to the Plug and see if it feels warm/Hot. If it feels unusually Hot I would say there may be something up with the motor or connection... JMHO
