Instruction Manual

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.
