You'd need a generator for that. A circular saw like you mentioned is going to draw way too much for what the 12 volt accessory circuit of a 7-way will provide.

Generators like the A-iPower 5,000-Watt Portable Generator # 289-AP5000 would be a great choice for powering the saw as this is a very common style of generator seen on construction sites. This is capable of 5,000 watts so your saw wouldn't be an issue at all.
