EN 8

FZP 3714 B

Safety Instructions

Furthermore, you should also have

– The included tools

– Sufﬁ cient 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 mufﬂ er, 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 ﬂ ung towards the operator and may thus cause a loss of balance.

When cutting tensioned branches keep in mind that they will ﬂ ing out when the wood ﬁ bres 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 ﬂ ung 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 ﬁ ngers.

A ﬁ rm 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 speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer or their equivalents.

Put the sprocket cover back. Do not fully tighten the screws, tighten by hand only, to make it possible to

tension the chain.

Tension the chain using the tensioning screw (Fig. 5) and then tighten the sprocket cover nuts using the

included tubular wrench

ATTENTION! The chain is correctly tensioned if it is possible to lift chain off the guide bar and its height in

the horizontal position in the middle of the guide bar is 3 to 4 mm.

6. FUEL AND CHAIN LUBRICATING OIL

Filling the oil tank

ATTENTION! A new chain requires a certain running-in period, which is usually 5 minutes. The lubrication

of the chain is very important during this phase. After this running-in period, check the chain tension and

readjust if necessary.

The oil tank on the supplied chain saw is empty. Fill this oil tank with oil prior to ﬁ rst use of this chain saw.

Only use oil speciﬁ ed for total-loss lubrication

Screw off the oil tank cap (ﬁ g. 6, point 1).

Pour the oil into the tank (take care to prevent the oil from becoming dirty while ﬁ lling the tank).

Screw on the oil tank cap

ATTENTION! Do not use oil that has already been used or processed because this could damage the oil

pump.

Mixing the fuel mix

ATTENTION! Never pour fuel into the fuel tank in a closed and unventilated location.

ATTENTION! Do not pour fuel in the vicinity of an open ﬂ ame or a source of sparks.

ATTENTION! Do not overﬁ ll the petrol tank. Before starting the engine, make sure that all spilt fuel is wiped

away.

ATTENTION! If the engine is hot, DO NOT POUR IN FUEL.

For this type of two-stroke engine a mixture of lead-free petrol and two-stroke engine oil is used at a ratio of 25 : 1.

ATTENTION! A fuel mix that is mixed at a ratio other than 25 : 1 may damage the engine. Make sure that

this fuel mix is mixed correctly.

When mixing petrol with two-stroke engine oil, use only petrol containing NO ETHANOL or METHANOL (types

of alcohols).

Use quality petrol with an octane number of 95 or higher. This will help prevent possible damage to the fuel

system and other parts of the engine.

EN

CHAIN SAW USER'S MANUAL

Fuel and chain lubricating oil | Preparing for operation

We recommend the use of the calibrated container

supplied with the chain saw for mixing the fuel mix.

DO NOT MIX THE PETROL AND OIL DIRECTLY IN

THE FUEL TANK.

Screw off the fuel tank cap (Fig. 6, point 2) and

pour in the fuel. Then screw the cap back on.

Storing fuel

Only store fuel in a clean, safe and approved canister.

Inform yourself about and adhere to local directives

related to the type and storage of canisters ﬁ lled with

fuel.

ATTENTION! Fuel for two-stroke engines may separate. Prior to every use, thoroughly shake the canister

with fuel.

ATTENTION! Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to consume within one month.

7. PREPARING FOR OPERATION

IMPORTANT: Follow instructions for preparing the fuel mix! Not following these instruction may damage

the engine! Do not use fuel that has been stored for longer than two months. A fuel mix stored for longer than

two months will cause problems at start up and lower engine performance. If the fuel mix is stored for longer

than two months, it should be removed and new fuel must be used.

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 whether any screws, nuts and installation elements are loose. Tighten any loose screws.

Check whether the air ﬁ lter is dirty. Prior to starting work, remove all dirt from the air ﬁ lter.

Check that the chain is tensioned. You can lift a correctly tensioned chain in the middle of the guide bar in the

horizontal position by 3 to 4 mm

Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and fuel stains.

Check the fuel tank for leaks.

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.

Preparing for operation | Turning the chain saw on and off

Chain brake (Fig. 1, point 10)

This chain saw is equipped with an automatic brake that stops the chain in the event of kickback. The brake is

engaged automatically by inertia acting on the ballast located under the rear cover. This brake can be operated

manually by tilting down the front protective frame towards the guide bar.

The brake is disengaged by pulling the front protective frame back towards the chain saw handle.

ATTENTION! Before every use, check that the chain brake is in working order in the following manner.

Checking the working order of the brake

Place the running chain saw on to the ground and for 1 to 2 seconds leave it at full speed.

Push the brake lever (Fig. 1, point 10) forward. The chain should stop immediately.

ATTENTION! If the chain stops slowly or does not stop at all, do not use the chain saw and contact an

authorised service centre.

If you wish to disengage the brake, pull the brake lever towards the top handle so that you hear the typical

click.

ATTENTION! Check that the chain brake is in order. A correctly functioning chain brake will protect you

against potential injury, which could result from kickback.

If the brake is not working properly, have it adjusted or repaired at an authorised service centre.

8. TURNING THE CHAIN SAW ON AND OFF

WARNING

Prior to starting the engine, make sure that the chain moves freely along the guide bar and is not touching

any foreign objects.

When the engine is idling, the saw chain must not be turning. Otherwise, contact an authorised service

centre to perform an inspection and remedy the problem.

Prior to starting the engine, make sure that the throttle trigger moves freely.

ATTENTION: Exposure to vibrations may damage the health of persons that suffer from circulatory or

nerve system problems. If any physical problems become evident, such as desensitisation, loss of sensitivity,

loss of usual strength or changes in skin colour, please contact a doctor. These systems usually manifest

themselves on ﬁ ngers, hands or wrists.

Starting a cold engine

1. Set the power switch to the "I" position. (see Fig. 7, point 1)

2. Repeatedly, 5x to 10x, push down the fuel primer bulb (Fig. 7, point 2), until the fuel gets into the carburettor.

3. Pull out the choke lever (Fig. 7, point 3) to the "OFF" position (=air supply turned off, i.e. choke turned on).

4. Place the chain saw ﬂ at on the ground so that it is stable and pull on the handle of the starting cord until the

engine rotates (the engine will show signs of attempting to start) (Fig. 8).

EN

CHAIN SAW USER'S MANUAL

15

5. At this point, push the choke lever (Fig.7, point 3)

downwards to the "ON" position (=air supply turned

on, i.e. choke turned off) and start the engine by

repeatedly pulling on the starting cord.

ATTENTION! Spinning the engine for too long

with the choke lever in the OFF position will result in

ﬂ ooding of the engine and problems with starting it up.

6. Prior to starting work, leave the engine to warm

up for a few minutes to get up to operating

temperature.

Starting a warm engine

1. Set the power switch (Fig. 7, point 1) to the "I"

position.

2. Pull on the handle of the starting cord until the

engine starts up (Fig. 8). DO NOT USE THE CHOKE!

ATTENTION! In the event that the fuel in the fuel

tank was completely used up, after pouring in fuel,

repeat the steps for STARTING A COLD ENGINE.

Speed control

To increase speed, ﬁ rst use the palm of your hand to push down the throttle safety switch (Fig. 7, point 4)

and then use your ﬁ nger to pull on the throttle trigger (Fig. 7, point 5)

To lower the speed, release the throttle trigger

Stopping the engine

Release the throttle trigger (Fig. 7, point 5) and switch the power switch (Fig. 7, point 1) to the "0" position.

WARNING

The engine exhaust fumes contain chemical substances that are damaging to health. Never inhale these

fumes. Always start the chain saw outdoors.

Checking chain lubrication

ATTENTION! Adhere to safety provisions and

prevent the guide bar from coming into contact

with the surface of the terrain.

Use this power tool safely and maintain

a minimum distance of 20 cm from the ground.

Before starting work, check the chain lubrication

and the amount of oil in the oil tank. Start the

chain saw and hold it above the ground. If you see

Fig. 7

FZP 3714 B

a growing oil stain then chain lubrication is working properly. If there are no oil stains on the ground, adjust

the lubrication strength on the underside of the chain saw (Fig. 9)

If even then, the chain is not sufﬁ ciently lubricated, clean out the oil outlet (under the sprocket cover), the top

chain tensioning hole and the oil lines, or contact an authorised service centre if necessary.

9. 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.

10. 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 speciﬁ ed 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.

Cutting

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.

Felling trees

Decide about the direction in which the tree will fall,

respecting the wind direction, incline angle of the

tree and location of the branches, and consider all

other factors before cutting.

The area around the tree must be clear, without

obstacles, and must enable a stable stance. The

escape route must be passable.

Cut a wedge into one third of the tree's diameter on

the side to which the tree should fall.

(see Fig. Felling, point 1)

From the opposite direction perform a separation

cut at a level above the wedge cut. (see Fig. Felling, point 2)

The tree will fall in the direction towards the wedge cut. (see Fig. Felling, point 3)

ATTENTION! When felling trees, inform other people in the area about the potential danger.

Felling trees requires experience and we do not recommend performing this task without the necessary

experience.

Cutting logs

ATTENTION! Always maintain a stable stance. Do not step on logs.

ATTENTION! Before starting work, check that all components are in their place and that all nuts and bolts

are tightened.

The log being cut may roll away. Especially when cutting on a slope, always stand above the log being cut.

Prevent kickback of the saw by following the instructions in chapter "Safety instructions".

Before starting work, assess the direction of the force causing the cut trunk to bend. The ﬁ nal cut needs to

always be done from the opposite side of where the bending force is acting to prevent the guide bar from

being clamped inside the cut.

Only carry the chain saw with the engine turned off and the guide bar protected by the protective cover.

Log lying on the ground

Cut it halfway through, then roll it over and

complete the cut from the other side.

Log above the ground

In part "A" make a cut from below to a third of the

log and then complete the cut from above. In part

"B" make a cut from above to a third of the log and

then complete the cut from below.

Removing a fallen tree

First ﬁ nd out to which side the branch is bent. Then

make the initial cut from the side of the bend and

then complete the cut from the opposite side.

ATTENTION! A bent branch may spring up.

11. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION! Prior to cleaning, inspecting or repairing the chain saw, its engine must be turned off and

cold and the spark plug must be removed to prevent accidentally starting the engine.

Maintenance after every use

Remove the guide bar and use a brush to clean away accumulated sawdust from the entire chain saw. Use

a spatula or screwdriver to remove stubborn dirt.

Air ﬁ lter:

Loosen the screw (Fig 1, point 11) and remove the air ﬁ lter cover. Take out the ﬁ lter insert and use a brush to

remove the dust. If the ﬁ lter insert is clogged with dust, dismantle into 2 parts and wash it out in petrol. If you

are using compressed air, blow from the inside out.

Lubricating hole:

Take off the guide bar and check the passage of the lubricating hole.

Guide bar:

After taking off the guide bar, remove dust from the grooves and the lubricating hole.

Other parts:

Check for any oil leaks, loose mounts and damaged main parts, particularly in the location where the

handles and the guide bar are mounted. Any identiﬁ ed defects must be repaired before the chain saw is used

again.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the body of the chain saw

Keep the body of the chain saw clean. When cleaning, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap solution. Use this cloth to

meticulously clean the body of the chain saw.

Maintaining the guide bar

Most problems with the guide bar arise due to

uneven wear.

Uneven wear occurs mainly as a result of an

incorrectly sharpened chain or an incorrectly set

depth gauge.

When the guide bar is worn out unevenly, the

guiding groove is widened (see Picture). The result

is a rattling chain and rivets falling off. The chain

saw cannot be used for straight cuts. In such

a case, replace the guide bar for a new one.

Always check the condition of the guide bar

before sharpening the chain. Using a worn

out or damaged guide bar is very dangerous.

Using a worn out or damaged guide bar will

result in damage to the chain. Cutting with such

a power tool will also be much more difﬁ cult and

demanding.

Normal maintenance of the guide bar

Remove the guide bar from the body of the chain saw.

Regularly remove sawdust from the guide bar groove. For cleaning use a spatula or a wire.

Clean oily grooves at the end of every work day.

Replace the guide bar if:

• it is bent or cracked

• its groove is very damaged or worn out

NOTE: To replace the guide bar, follow the instruction contained in this user's manual. You will ﬁ nd the

correct guide bar type in the technical speciﬁ cations.

Sharpening the saw chain

12. SHARPENING THE SAW CHAIN

Keep the saw chain sharp. Cutting will be signiﬁ cantly faster and most importantly safer. A blunt saw chain

increases wear on the sprocket, guide bar, chain and engine. If you need to push on the saw and only sawdust

with a few splinters are produced then this means that the chain is blunt.

Sharpening the teeth on the chain

Use the ﬁ le guide set at an angle of 30° (mark A, see

ﬁ gure).

Set the saw chain tension to the correct level.

Fasten the guide bar in a vice so that you have the

chain in a stable position.

NOTE: Do not fasten the chain itself.

Push the round ﬁ le, inserted in the ﬁ le guide, into

the groove between the top plate and the depth

gauge on the chain. The chain should be touching

both the top plate as well as the depth gauge (see

ﬁ gure)

NOTE: File in the middle of the guide bar.

NOTE: In the ﬁ gure you can see the position of the ﬁ le guide and the direction for ﬁ ling the teeth on the left

side of the chain.

Place the ﬁ le guide at the required angle (mark A, see ﬁ gure). Check that the mark is at 30° on the ﬁ le guide

aligned with the centre of the guide bar. This will ensure that you will ﬁ le at an angle of 30°.

File the tooth in the direction from inside out (in direction B, see ﬁ gure) until it is sharp. File only in this

direction.

NOTE: Two to three passes of the ﬁ le should be sufﬁ cient to sharpen the tooth.
