Tight chains are not the issue. All the tight chain will do is cause the motor to work too hard, and draw too much current. The circuit breaker will trip faster than it takes for the Victor to heat up to a dangerous temperature. (These Victors are easily good for 40 A continuously; I wouldn't be surprised if they could handle 150 A for a few seconds.)
