WARNING: Never modify this chain
saw in any way. Only attachments
supplied by SuperBrandTools or expressly
approved by SuperBrandTools for use
with the specific SuperBrandTools model
are authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable with
SuperBrandTools chain saws, their use
may, in fact, be extremely dangerous.
WARNING: Never operate your
chain saw if it is damaged,
improperly adjusted or maintained, or not
completely and securely assembled.
If this chain saw is subjected to unusually
high loads for which it was not designed (e.g.
heavy impact or a fall), always check that it is
in good condition before continuing work.
Check in particular that the controls and
safety devices are working properly. Do not
continue operating this machine if it is
damaged. In case of doubt, have it checked
by an expert.
THE USE OF THE SUPERSAW
Transporting the SuperSaw
WARNING: Always switch off the motor,
move front hand guard before putting the
chain saw down.
Accidental acceleration of the motor can
cause the saw chain to rotate.
By hand: When transporting your chain
saw by hand, the battery must be removed
and the chain saw must be in the proper
position.
WARNING: Do not carry the chain saw by
the blade.
Before Operation
Take off the chain guard and inspect the
chain saw for proper condition and
operation.
WARNING: Proper tension of the
saw chain is extremely important. In
order to avoid improper setting, make sure
the chain is tightened securely reference
the manual and instructional video for
proper procedure. Seek expert assistance if
you do not have experience operating a
chainsaw.
Always make sure the hexagonal nut(s) for
the sprocket cover is(are) tightened
securely after tensioning the saw chain in

presence of flammable liquids or gases.
The sparks from an electric chain saw
may be a source of ignition!
Holding and Controlling the SuperSaw
Always hold the chain saw firmly when
you are working.
Left-handers should follow these
instructions too. Wrap your fingers tightly
around the handles, keeping the handles
cradled between your thumb and
forefinger. With your hands in this position,
you can best oppose and absorb the push,
pull and kickback forces of your saw
without losing control.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
cut injuries, keep hands and feet
away from the cutting tool. Never touch a
moving cutting tool with your hand or any
other part of your body.
WARNING: Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special
care must be taken in slippery conditions
(wet ground, snow) and in difficult,
overgrown terrain. Be extremely cautious
thereafter at regular intervals (whenever
the saw is shut off). If the saw chain
becomes loose while cutting, switch off the
motor, disconnect the chain saw from the
power supply and then tighten. Never try to
adjust the saw chain while the battery is
connected!
WARNING: After adjusting a saw
chain, start the chain saw, let it run
for a while, then switch motor off and
recheck saw chain tension. Proper saw
chain tension is very important at all times.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all times;
it is particularly important to keep them free
of moisture, pitch, oil, grease or resin in
order for you to maintain a firm grip and
properly control your chain saw.
WARNING: Be sure that the guide
bar and saw chain are clear of you
and all other obstructions and objects,
including the ground. If the upper quadrant
of the tip of the bar touches any object, it
may cause kickback to occur. Never
attempt to engage the chain saw when the
guide bar is in a cut.
Electric Precautions
Special precautions for electric chain saws
must be observed to reduce the risk of
personal injury and property damage from
fire and electric shock.
WARNING: To reduce risk of serious
or fatal injury from electrocution,
never use your chain saw if casing around
motor is cracked or damaged.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of &
electrocution never work in rain or
wet places — the electric motor is not
waterproof! Do not leave the chain saw
outdoors in the rain and do not operate it if
it shows any signs of dampness.
SUPERSAWTM

Working Conditions
Operate your chain saw only under good
visibility and daylight conditions. Work
carefully.
WARNING: Your chain saw is a
one-person machine. Do not allow
other persons in the general work area.
Stop the motor immediately if you are
approached.
WARNING: Even though bystanders
should be kept away from the
running chain saw, never work alone.
Keep within calling distance of others in
case help is needed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury to bystanders and damage to
property, never let your chain saw run
unattended. When it is not in use (e.g.
during a work break), switch it off and
make sure that unauthorized persons do
not use it. To do this, completely remove
battery and store securely away from saw.
Always store saw in safe location.
WARNING: Use of this chain saw
(including sharpening the saw
chain) can generate dust, mist and fumes
containing chemicals that are known to
cause respiratory problems, cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. If you
are unfamiliar with the risks associated
with
WARNING: Use of this chain saw
(including sharpening the saw
chain) can generate dust, mist and fumes
containing chemicals that are known to
cause respiratory problems, cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. If you
are unfamiliar with the risks associated
with the particular dust, mist or fume at
when working on slopes or uneven ground.
Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree
stumps, roots, rocks, holes and ditches to
avoid stumbling.
There is increased danger of slipping on
freshly debarked logs. For better footing,
clear away fallen branches, scrub and
cuttings. Use extreme caution when cutting
small-size brush, branches and saplings
because slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or
pull you off balance.
WARNING: Take extreme care in
wet and freezing weather (rain,
snow, ice). Put off the work when the
weather is windy, stormy or rainfall is
present.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from loss of control, never
work on a ladder or any other insecure
support. Never hold the machine above
shoulder height. Do not overreach.
Position the chain saw in such a way that
your body is clear of the cutting attachment
whenever the motor is running. Stand to the
left of cut while bucking.
Never put pressure on the chain saw when
reaching the end of a cut. The pressure
may cause the bar and rotating saw chain
to pop out of the cut or kerf, go out of control
and strike the operator or some other
object. If the rotating saw chain strikes
some other object, a reactive force may
cause the moving saw chain to strike the
operator.

issue, consult your employer, governmental
agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and
other sources on hazardous materials.
California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of
substances known to cause cancer,
reproductive toxicity, etc.
WARNING: Inhalation of certain
dusts, especially organic dusts such
as mold or pollen, can cause susceptible
persons to have an allergic or asthmatic
reaction. Substantial or repeated inhalation
of dust and other airborne contaminants, in
particular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other illnesses.
This includes wood dust, especially from
hardwoods, but also from some softwoods
such as Western Red Cedar. Control dust
(such as saw dust) and mists (such as oil
mist from chain lubrication) at the source
where possible. Use good work practices,
such as always cutting with a properly
sharpened saw chain (which produces
wood chips rather than fine dust) and
operating the unit so that the wind or
operating process directs any dust raised
by the chain saw away from the operator.
Follow the recommendations of
EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational and
trade associations with respect to dust
("particulate matter"). When the inhalation
of dust cannot be substantially controlled,
i.e., kept at or near the ambient
(background) level, the operator and any
bystanders should wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type of
dust encountered.
WARNING: Breathing asbestos dust
is dangerous and can cause severe
or fatal injury, respiratory illness or cancer.
The use and disposal of
asbestos-containing products have been
strictly regulated by OSHA and the
Environmental Protection Agency. Do not
use your chain saw to cut or disturb
asbestos or asbestos-containing products.
If you have any reason to believe that you
might be cutting asbestos, immediately
stop cutting and contact your employer or a
local OSHA representative.
Operating Instructions
WARNING: Never touch a saw
chain with your hand or any part of
your body when the motor is running, even
when the chain is not rotating.
In the event of an emergency, disengage
off the motor immediately and remove the
battery.
down.
WARNING: Always remove the
battery before putting the saw
WARNING: The saw chain
continues to move for a short period
after the trigger switch is fully released.
WARNING: Your chain saw is
equipped with a chain guard. It is
designed to reduce the risk of personal
injury in the event of a thrown or broken
chain. From time to time, the guard may be
damaged or removed. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, do not operate a chain saw
with a damaged or missing chain guard.
If this chain saw is subjected to unusually
high loads for which it was not designed
(e.g. heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in good condition before continuing
work. Check in particular that the controls
and safety devices are working properly. Do
not continue operating this chain saw if it is
damaged.
Your chain saw is not designed for prying or
shoveling away limbs, roots or other
objects. Such use could damage the cutting
attachment.
SUPERSAWTM

WARNING: When sawing, make
sure that the saw chain does not
touch any foreign materials such as rocks,
fences, nails and the like. Such objects may
be flung off, damage the saw chain or
cause the chain saw to kickback.
WARNING: If the rotating saw chain
strikes a rock or other hard object,
sparks may be created, which can ignite
flammable materials under certain
circumstances. Flammable materials can
include dry vegetation and brush,
particularly when weather conditions are
hot and dry. Do not use your chain saw
around flammable materials or around dry
vegetation or brush when there is a risk of
fire or wildfire. Contact your local fire
authorities or the U.S. Forestry Service if
you have any question about whether
vegetation and weather conditions are
suitable for the use of a chain saw.
WARNING: Take special care when
cutting shattered wood because of
the risk of injury from slivers being caught
and thrown in your direction.
Check the cutting attachment at regular
short intervals during operation, or
immediately if there is a noticeable change
in cutting behavior:
- Switch off the motor.
- Remove battery
The motor is not waterproof. Never
work with the chain saw in the rain
or in wet or very damp locations.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in the
rain.
SUPERSAWTM
A DANGER
Do not rely on the SuperSaw’s
insulation against electric shock. To
reduce the risk of electrocution, never
operate this chain saw in the vicinity of any
wires or cables (power, etc.) which may be
carrying electric current. To reduce risk of
electrocution, take extra precautions when
cutting near power lines. Have the power
switched off before starting cutting work in
the immediate vicinity of power lines.
REACTIVE FORCES
INCLUDING KICKBACK
WARNING: Reactive forces may occur any
time the chain is rotating. Reactive forces
can cause serious personal injury.
The powerful force used to cut wood can be
reversed and work against the operator. If
the rotating saw chain is suddenly and
significantly slowed or stopped by contact
with any solid object such as a log or
branch or is pinched, the reactive forces
may occur instantly.
These reactive forces may result in loss of
control, which, in turn, may cause serious
or fatal injury. An understanding of the
causes of these reactive forces may help
you avoid the element of surprise and loss
of control. Surprise contributes to
accidents.
The most common reactive forces are:
- kickback,
- pushback,
- pull-in.
WARNING: Kickback: Kickback may
occur when the moving saw
chain near the upper quadrant of the bar
nose contacts a solid object or is pinched.
When this occurs, the energy driving the
saw chain can create a force that moves

the chain saw in a direction opposite to the
saw chain movement at the point where the
saw chain is slowed or stopped. This may
fling the bar up and back in a lightning fast
reaction mainly in the plane of the bar and
can cause severe or fatal injury to the
operator.
Kickback may occur, for example, when the
saw chain near the upper quadrant of the
bar nose contacts the wood or is pinched
during limbing or when it is incorrectly used
to begin a plunge or boring cut.
The greater the force of the kickback
reaction, the more difficult it becomes for
the operator to control the chain saw. Many
factors influence the occurrence and force
of the kickback reaction.
These include saw chain speed, the speed
at which the bar and saw chain contact the
object, the angle of contact, the condition of
the saw chain and other factors.
The type of bar and saw chain you use is an
important factor in the occurrence and force
of the kickback reaction.
SuperSaw recommends the use of reduced
kickback bars and low kickback chains.
WARNING: The computer derived
angles of the chain saw standards
may bear no relationship to actual kickback
bar rotation angles that may occur in real
life cutting situations.
In addition, features designed to reduce
kickback injuries may lose some of their
effectiveness when they are no longer in
their original condition, especially if they
have been improperly maintained.
WARNING: An improperly maintained
chain brake may increase the time
needed to stop the saw chain after
activation, or may not activate at all.
Product safety
Attn: California residents, pursuant
to CA Prop. 65, we are required to
warn you of the following:
WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products and
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: This product can expose
you to chemicals including lead,
phthalate or bisphenol A which are known
to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
