Safety instructions
Furthermore, you should also have
– The included tools
– Sufficient supply of fuel and chain lubricating oil
– Accessories for designating the work area (rope, warning signs)
– Whistle (to call for help)
– Hand saw or axe (to remove potential obstacles)
When working, never wear loose clothing, jewellery, that could become caught by the chain saw. Do not
wear sandals when working, do not work barefoot.
Check the work area, the item being cut and the cutting direction. Remove obstacles.
Never commence work if the work area is not cleared, if you do not have a stable stance and if you do not
have a planned escape route in the event of a falling tree.
Pay increased attention and keep passers-by and pets away from the work area at a distance of at least
2.5 times the length of the item being cut.
Check for damaged, worn out or missing parts of the power tool. Never use the power tool if it is damaged,
incorrectly adjusted or incomplete. Check that the chain stops turning when the throttle trigger is released.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and fuel stains.
Do not touch the muffler, spark plugs or other metal parts of the engine when the power tool is running or
immediately after it is turned off - there is a risk of burns or injury by electrical shock.
Pay exceptional attention when cutting thin branches or trunks because fragile material may become caught
in the chain and flung towards the operator and may thus cause a loss of balance.
When cutting tensioned branches keep in mind that they will fling out when the wood fibres are cut and the
tension is released.
Check for and remove dry branches that could come loose from the falling tree.
Make sure that the power tool is turned off when you put it down.
CAUTION danger of kickback! Kickback may occur when the nose of the guide bar comes into
contact with an item or if the material being cut clamps the chain in the cut. During contact with the item,
the chain saw may be flung with the guide bar moving up and back towards the operator. A clamped chain
may result in a fast backward movement of the guide bar towards the operator. Both these reactions may
lead to a loss of control over the chain saw and subsequent serious injuries. Do not rely only on the chain
saw’s safety features. As the operator of the chain saw, you must constantly adhere to multiple rules to avoid
injuries or damages.
If you are acquainted with the kickback principle, you can reduce or eliminate the moment of surprise.
Unexpected reactions result in accidents.
If the engine is running, hold the chain saw with both hands with the right hand on the rear handle and the
left hand on the front handle. Firmly grasp the handle with the thumb going around towards the fingers.
A firm grip helps limit kickback and to keep the chain saw under control.
There must be no obstacles in the work area. When working with the chain saw, the loose end of the guide
bar must not touch a branch, trunk or another obstacle.
Cut with the engine running at high speed.
A stable stance must be maintained at all times when cutting, do not cut above shoulder height.
Adhere to the instructions of the manufacturer for lubricating and sharpening the chain.
Only use spare chains and guide bars specified by the manufacturer or their equivalents.

5. OPERATING THE SAW
Preparing the saw for work
The bar, cutting chain and bumper with spikes must be fitted before first use.
Protective gloves must be worn for all chain assembly and adjustment work.
To do this, make sure that the chain brake is in the rear position. This will facilitate the disassembly and assembly
of the side panel.
Unscrew the two fixing nuts and remove the side panel.
Screw on the bumper with spikes using two screws. (III)
Put on the bar and chain. (IV) The chain must be fitted in the direction of rotation marked on the links. Once
the chain is found to fit correctly in the groove of the chain bar, the side panel must be fitted so that the tension
adjustment tab fits into the appropriate hole in the bar.
Screw in the side panel nuts, but don't tighten them all the way yet.
Adjust the chain tension (V); to do this, grasp the bar by the upper part and simultaneously turn the chain
stretching screw until the chain reaches the lower part of the bar. Tighten the fixing nuts and check the chain
tension so that it can be moved by hand along the bar. If necessary, readjust the chain tension. Tighten the
stretching screw after correct adjustment.
Attention! The new chain will be stretched as the work progresses. The chain tension should therefore be
checked frequently. A loose chain can cause damage to the bar and the chain itself.
Before starting the saw, make sure that there is chain oil in the tank. The oil level must not be lower than the
minimum oil level mark.
Make sure that the chain brake lever is in the rear position.
Refuelling (VI)
A fuel mixture designed for two-stroke engines is used to power the saw. The use of clean fuel is prohibited. Petrol
should be mixed with oil in proportions that depend on the expected operating load. If the expected working time
is less than 20 hours, a 40:1 petrol:oil mixture should be used.

EN 14
FZP 56516-B
Operating the saw
If the working time exceeds 20 hours, petrol and oil should be mixed in a 50:1 ratio.
The mixture must be mixed before pouring into the fuel tank. Mixing and pouring of fuel must be carried out at a
sufficient distance from fire sources. Smoking is not allowed during refuelling. Refuelling must be carried out at a
minimum distance of 3 metres from where the saw is to be started and operated.
For engine care reasons, good quality unleaded petrol and a quality oil designed for air-cooled two-stroke
engines should be used. It is not permitted to use oil designed for four-stroke engines.
If fuel is spilled, the residue must be cleaned up thoroughly before the saw is started.
Refilling chain oil (VII)
Good quality oil should be used, which is designed for lubricating saw chains.
If the oil tank is not filled, the use of the saw is prohibited. There is a risk of damage to the chain, bar and saw
mechanisms.
The saw must be switched off before refilling the oil.
It is recommended that the saw be started and operated at least 3 metres from the point where the oil is being
refilled. Used engine oil cannot be used for lubrication. It does not do its job, which could lead to damage to the
saw mechanisms.
Refilling should be done at a distance from sources of fire and heat.
If there is an oil spillage, the residue must be wiped up thoroughly before the saw is started.
The amount of oil with which the saw lubricates the chain can be regulated; the oil dosing wheel located at the
bottom of the saw is used for this purpose.
Workplace preparation
Before starting work with a chainsaw, the workplace must be properly prepared to minimise the risk of hazards
that occur when working with a chainsaw.
It is necessary to make sure that only authorised persons are present on the workplace.
In the case of tree felling, the area of danger and escape routes must be marked.
An area with a radius of 180° around the intended direction of the tree fall and an area with a radius of 90° in the
opposite direction to the intended direction of the tree fall are considered hazardous areas. The remaining areas
are escape routes (VIII). It should also be remembered that a falling tree can also uproot other trees. Therefore,
the next site cannot be located closer than 2.5 times the height of the felled tree (IX).
There must be good visibility from the workplace, so special care must be taken when felling trees in difficult
terrain, e.g. in mountains.
It is not allowed to start work in atmospheric precipitation or in case of high humidity, e.g. in fog.
Protective clothing and personal protective equipment should be worn.
Before felling begins, a test cut of the timber should be made in safe conditions, for example, placed on a saw-
horse.
Cutting wires, young trees and old wooden beams should be avoided.
It is not allowed to stand on cut wood.
Starting and stopping the saw
Make sure that the chain brake is in the rear position.
Remove the cover from the bar and chain.
It is not allowed to start the saw unless the bar and chain are correctly fitted.

EN
CHAIN SAW USER’S MANUAL
15
Operating the saw
Switch the ignition switch to the upper position.
Pull out the choke lever. (X)
Rest the saw on a fi rm base and make sure that the chain and bar do not touch anything. Hold the
handle with your foot, hold the top handle with your left hand and pull the starting pull cord vigorously
with your right hand. (XI)
Attention! It is not permitted to start the saw while holding it. The chain could touch a part of the body and
cause serious injury.
This achieves fuel distribution to the saw fuel system. Then close the choke lever and pull the starting pull cord
vigorously once more. When the engine starts, the starting pull cord must be released. The engine must be
allowed to warm up with the choke lever slightly pulled.
If any suspicious noises or vibrations are heard, the saw should be switched off immediately.
Switching off the saw after work is finished is done by releasing the pressure on the throttle lever and letting the
engine idle for a certain period of time. Then switch the ignition switch to the down position and wait for the chain
to stop. After the chain has stopped, the saw must be serviced.
Before starting work, it is still necessary to check how well the chain is oiled. To do this, check that the chain is
spraying oil lightly at medium speed. Tilt the running saw slightly downwards with the bar. If after 1 minute an oil
spot is visible under the bar, it means that the chain is lubricated correctly. If it is necessary to adjust the amount
of oil to be dosed, it must be adjusted by means of the wheel located on the bottom of the saw.
Chain oil and fuel should be used relatively evenly. Chain oil should also be refilled every time you refuel.
Setting the carburettor (XII)
The carburettor was adjusted in the factory to achieve the best performance of the saw. However, if operating
conditions change, the carburettor may need to be adjusted. Before adjustment, the air and fuel filters must be
cleaned and the fuel tank filled with fresh fuel mixture.
Attention! Only adjust the carburettor with the chain on.
Follow the procedure below.
With the engine switched off, screw in the H and L nozzle screws as far as they will go. Then turn them in the
opposite direction by the following number of turns: H – 1 3/8, L – 1 1/4.
Start the engine and warm it up to half throttle.
Turn the L nozzle screw clockwise until the engine reaches maximum idling speed. Then turn the L nozzle screw
1/4 turn in the opposite direction.
Turn the idle screw T anticlockwise until the chain stops. If the idle speed is too low, the screw should be turned
clockwise.
A test cut should be made and the H nozzle adjusted to obtain the best cutting force, but not the maximum speed.
Working with the saw
After all the above steps have been carried out, the saw can be used.
The chain brake must be checked for correct operation before starting the saw. To perform the test, hold the saw
horizontally and then release the front handle so that the bar hits the log or piece of wood with the tip.

EN 16
FZP 56516-B
Operating the saw
The height from which to drop the saw depends on the length of the chain bar. If the brake does not work, the saw
must be taken to an authorised repair facility for repair and adjustment.
If the brake is applied during operation, release the throttle lever and let the engine idle. Otherwise, the running
engine would cause the clutch disc to overheat, which could lead to damage to the saw.
Persons intending to operate the chainsaw for the first time are required to seek advice from a qualified chainsaw
operator on chainsaw operation and safety before starting work.
The first work with the saw should be based on cutting the prepared logs placed on the saw-horse.
The basic principles of occupational safety must be observed during work. The possibility of the saw rebounding
towards the operator must also be taken into account. The saw can rebound towards the operator if the cutting
chain meets resistance. To minimise this risk, attention must be paid to the position of the tip of the bar during
cutting. It is not permitted to cut using the top quarter of the tip of the bar. (XIII)
You only need to cut with that part of the chain that slides along the bottom of the bar. The lower spike of the
bumper can be used as a catch point for the saw's axis of rotation when cutting through wood. (XIV)
Only put the saw to the wood to be cut when it is already running. If the saw has already been put to the wood, do
not run it in this position. Do not raise the saw to shoulder level or higher while working. (XV)
Do not stand in the plane of the cut. This reduces the risk of injury in the event of the saw rebounding. (XVI)
Always hold the saw with both hands while working.
Always make sure the chain is sharp and properly tensioned.
USEFUL TIPS FOR WORKING WITH THE SAW
When cutting, you need to adopt a suitable position and ensure complete freedom of movement.
Branches should not be cut close to the trunk, but at a distance of about 15 cm from the trunk. Two notches
should be made at a depth of 1/3 of the diameter of the branch, about 8 cm apart. One notch from the bottom,
one from the top. Then cut the branch close to the trunk to a depth equal to 1/3 of the branch diameter. Finish
cutting the branches close to the trunk towards the top. It is not allowed to cut branches from below. (XVII)
When felling a tree, the site must first be prepared as described in section 6.4. In addition, it is necessary to
prepare a safe base for cutting the tree.
In the event of a tree fall, move to a safe distance to the side of the plane of the falling tree.
Factors such as the nature of the terrain, the tree's centre of gravity, the distribution of the tree's crown and the
wind direction must be taken into account when selecting the direction of the tree's fall. To properly prepare the
tree for felling, a notch must be made in the trunk to a depth of 1/3 of the diameter of the trunk on the side where
the tree is to fall, and then another notch at a 45 degree angle to the first notch so that a “wedge” is cut out of the
trunk. From the opposite side of the trunk, start cutting the main cut perpendicular to the trunk axis and slightly
higher (approx. 4 cm) than the base of the cut “wedge”. The trunk must not be cut completely. It is necessary
to leave a section of about 1/10 of the trunk diameter. Then plant a wedge in the cut to split the wood from the
opposite side to the intended direction of the tree's fall. (XVIII)
If a tree falls during the cutting process, the saw must be pulled out of the trunk and move away to a safe
distance via the escape route.
If the saw is pinched while cutting the trunk, it is never allowed to leave the saw in this position with the engine
running. The saw motor must be switched off and the wedges used to release the pinched saw.
When cutting a felled tree into pieces, the following principles must be observed:
Place the wood on a saw-horse or pedestal so that the pieces to be cut can fall freely to the ground without
causing the saw to pinch. If the saw is pinched, proceed as described above.
It is not allowed to touch the ground with the chain or bar and it must not be allowed to become soiled.
The use of the saw for shaping hedges or cutting shrubs is prohibited.

EN
CHAIN SAW USER’S MANUAL
17
Operating the saw
When working on a slope, it is necessary to stay higher than the wood being cut.
Extreme caution should be exercised when pruning a stretched tree and, if possible, have a qualified tree feller do
the work.
When pruning a tree that is stretched and supported at both ends, it should be cut from above to a depth of 1/3
of the diameter and then finished from below.
In the case where the stretched tree is only supported at one end, it should be cut from below to a depth of 1/3 of
the diameter and then finished from above. (XIX)
In this way, the risk of pinching the saw during cutting is reduced.

EN 18
FZP 56516-B
Maintenance of the saw
6. MAINTENANCE OF THE SAW
The saw must be switched off before starting any of the operations described below. Make sure the engine is
cold. The spark plug must be unscrewed to avoid the possibility of accidentally starting the saw.
Protective gloves must be worn when working with or near the chain.
Replacing and maintaining the spark plug (XX)
To replace the spark plug, the air filter cover must be removed and the air filter pulled out.
Remove the rubber cover of the spark plug contact and unscrew the spark plug with the spanner provided.
Check the condition of the spark plug electrodes. If the electrodes are found to be dirty, it is necessary to try to
clean the spark plug electrodes with a wire brush. If this cleaning does not produce the expected result, the spark
plug must be replaced with a new one.
The condition of the spark plug should be checked at least once a month.
Air filter maintenance (XXI)
Maintenance of the air filter must be carried out after each use of the saw.
Dust and larger debris can be removed from the filter by tapping the filter surround on a hard pad. The filter mesh
is cleaned after the filter has been disassembled into two halves by washing in extraction gasoline. Using a
stream of compressed air, dirt can be blown out of the mesh from the inside to the outside.
Maintenance and cleaning of the oil system (XXII)
Cleaning of the oil slot and oil channel in the bar must be carried out after each use of the saw.
After removing the side panel and bar, the condition of the oil slot should be checked and any debris removed.
Remove the chain from the bar. Clean the bar of sawdust and dirt. Clean the chain guide groove and the oil inlet
hole. Lubricate the gear at the tip of the bar with a few drops of oil through the lubrication hole.
The chain guide groove in the bar wears out during work. Periodically, the bar should be turned and the condition
of the groove checked. If the groove is found to be shaped as shown in Figure (XXIII), the bar must be replaced
with a new one.
The wear of the bar groove can be checked by putting a ruler to the bar with the chain on. If the ruler is not
adhering to the bar, the condition of the groove is good. Otherwise, the bar must be replaced.
Other maintenance activities
After each use, the overall condition of the saw should be checked. Tighten the loose bolt connections. Check for
fuel or oil leaks. Check the cooling vents for clearance. Check that all covers and the cabinet are in good condition
and free of cracks. Any defects found must be rectified before any further work is undertaken.
Maintenance of the ribs of the cylinder (XXIV)
Dirt accumulated in the cylinder ribs could cause the engine to overheat. The slots between the cylinder ribs
must be cleaned periodically. To do this, remove the air filter cover, dismantle the air filter and unscrew the spark
plug. Then unscrew the screws and remove the cylinder cover. Clean the slots between the cylinder ribs and
reassemble the saw; take care to ensure the correct position of electrical cables and other wires.

EN
CHAIN SAW USER’S MANUAL
19
Maintenance of the saw
Chain drive wheel
Periodically check the condition of the chain drive wheel. If signs of wear, cracks or other damage are found
that could affect the proper operation of the drive transmission system, the drive wheel must be replaced by an
authorised repair facility.
It is not allowed to put a used chain on a new drive wheel or a new chain on a used drive wheel.
Chain maintenance
The chain must always be sharpened and in good condition. It is essential to check the chain for wear before
each use, especially for damaged links or broken teeth.
If any damage is found, further work with the damaged chain is prohibited. This could lead to serious injuries.
The chain must also be ground periodically. Grinding is unavoidable if at least one of the following phenomena is
observed: the sawdust produced during cutting resembles powder, increased effort is required to cut, the cut is
not straight, vibrations increase or fuel consumption increases.
Grinding is an activity that requires special tools as well as appropriate experience. It is therefore required that
grinding is carried out in specialised service centres.

FZP 56516-B
Adjusting the chain tension | Cutting
7. ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
ATTENTION! Due to the effect of higher temperatures, during operation the saw chain has a tendency to
lengthen. A longer chain becomes loose and could slide off the guide bar.
Loosen the sprocket cover fastening nuts.
Make sure that the chain is seated in the guiding groove of the guide bar.
Use a screwdriver to turn the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 5). Turn the tensioning screw until the required
tension is achieved (you should lift the chain in the middle of the guide bar in the horizontal position to
a height of 3 to 4 mm).
Firmly tighten the guide bar fastening nuts.
ATTENTION! Do not tension the chain excessively. Excessive tension of a warm chain may result in
excessively tension when it cools down.
8. CUTTING
ATTENTION! Before proceeding, please read the chapter “Safety instructions”. We recommend that you
gain experience by cutting smaller logs. In this way you will also get to know the chain saw.
Always adhere to safety instructions. The chain saw may only be used for cutting wood.
It is forbidden to cut any other materials. Vibrations and kickback differ for various materials. Do not use the
chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting material. It is forbidden to attach any parts or jigs other
than those specified in the technical documentation.
It is not necessary to push the chain saw into the cut. When the engine is running at full speed, push the
chain saw down lightly.
If the chain jams in the cut, do not attempt to free it by pulling, rather stretch open the cut using a wedge or
crowbar.
Safety brake (protection against kickback)
This chain saw is equipped with an automatic chain brake that, if it works correctly, immediately stops the
chain in the event of kickback. It is necessary to check the working order of the chain brake before every use
of the chain saw. Run the chainsaw at full speed for 1 - 2 seconds and then tilt the front protective cover.
The chain must stop immediately even when the engine is running at high speed. If the chain stops slowly
or does not stop at all, please contact an authorised service centre.
It is extremely important to check the working order of the chain brake and the sharpness of the chain before
every use to ensure that the necessary level of safety in the event of a kickback is maintained. Removing
safety accessories, incorrect maintenance or when using unsuitable guide bars or chains may, in the event
of kickback, result in serious injuries.
