Power saws “Zubr”: High-quality tools at an affordable price
At the beginning of the 21st century in the post-Soviet countries there was an acute shortage of modern tools.

Soon the product range was significantly expanded, along with other gardening equipment, on sale appeared gasoline and electric saws Zubr.
For various reasons, the company located its production facilities in China. This allowed to optimize prices while maintaining high quality products. It should be noted that the assembly of electric saws often uses Japanese, Western European and Russian components, which also has a positive effect on the durability and reliability of the tools.

During intensive use, you don’t have to worry about the motor, which is equipped with an overheat and overload lockout system.
According to owners, the electric saw has a good layout and balanced body, and the placement of the motor in the longitudinal direction reduces vibration and increases the power of the device.

It should be noted the small weight of the saw – 5.4 kg when ready to work.

In particular, this chainsaw is equipped with a lock button against unintentional activation, as well as protection against overheating and engine overload.

Preparing to work at the enterprise
- Do not be lazy when buying a tool to carefully inspect it, study the marking of parts and verify the line codes with the information contained in the passport of the product.
- Ask the salesman to test the motor to make sure it is in good working order.
- If malfunction or damage is found, have the unit repaired or exchange for a similar unit;
- When you get home, read the service and operating instructions carefully.
- Read and follow all safety instructions.
Important: Most zub chain saw failures during the warranty period are due to improper use of the tool. Pay attention to this and follow the instructions in the manual.
Your chainsaw will be delivered virtually assembled. It is up to the new owner to reassemble the saw and fill up the chain oil himself. It should be noted that both Zubr electric chainsaw models are equipped with a tool-less chain tensioning device.
- Remove the protective cover, tighten the outer fastening nut;
- Insert the bar shaft in its seat, push it into the guide slot;
- Install the chain so that the cutting edges face the direction of travel of the drive chainwheel;
- Secure the bar and guard with the mounting nut of the tool-less adjuster;
- Set the correct chain tension with the inner mother, with neither limb hanging under its own weight and the chain itself moving slightly over the bar;
- Put on the outer fastening nut as far as it will go.
Important: Keep in mind that the metal is heated and the chain links are stretched when the electric saw is in operation. For this reason, turn off the engine 10-15 minutes after starting work, check the chain setting and correct it if necessary.
- Fill the automatic lubrication system;
- Conduct a thorough inspection of the Zubr electric saw body for oil spots. If they are found, look for the cause of the leak and restore the system’s tightness.
Important: The saw headset of your power saw requires quality lubrication. This will affect both your performance and the life of the chain and bar. Always check that the system is working properly and add oil to the oil tank in good time. We recommend chain oils from well-known manufacturers as lubricants:
- Bison Expert ZMPM;
- Echo PREMIUM B&C;
- Husqvarna chain oil;
- Oleo-Mac Polar Lube;
- STIHL ForestPlus.
Safety precautions when working with a Zubr chain saw
- Wear personal protective equipment: goggles or face shield, gloves and hard-soled shoes;
- Check the insulation of the engine, power cord and extension cord. If defective, replace cord or extension cord; If motor insulation is damaged, contact a service shop;
- Check that the circuit brake is working and set it in the on position;
- Start the motor;
- Use the back of your hand to squeeze the brake lever and move it to the off position;
- To reduce the risk of injury, always use both hands to hold the saw;
- Always hold the saw with both hands to prevent injury; Securely clamp the material you are sawing;
- When cutting old wood, make sure there are no nails, screws or other metal objects;
- If the chain jams, turn off the saw motor immediately and do not restart until the cause of the jamming has been corrected;
- Avoid sawing with the end of the bar; this can cause sudden, violent rebounding;
- Do not operate the Zubr electric chainsaw outdoors when it is snowing or raining;
- When you have finished working, tighten the chain stop brake and clean the tool.

What they say on the forums: reviews of owners
Alexey Topilnikov, 42, Kirov region:
Electric saw Zubr ZCP-2001-02 bought because the service is close by. There were no complaints about the price, however, the tool does not look very attractive, but this, as they say, does not affect the speed. The tool is very easy to maintain and operate, especially compared to a chainsaw. In terms of performance, it is also in no way inferior to its gasoline counterpart. I sawed four fairly large birches on the site, sawed them into wedges – everything came out perfectly. Of the disadvantages of the electric saw, I would note the accuracy of the oil tool. When filling the normal engine oil pipe clogged, now I fill only chain oil (Zubr ZMPM expert).
Victor Krasitsky, 31 years old, Novgorod region:
I bought the electric car “Bison” in 2015. I liked the appearance, and the price seemed quite acceptable. At first there were no problems. The engine worked fine (in fact, it still works fine), all the nodes also worked. The destructions have begun in the second year of exploitation. At first the oil tank holder broke: not critical, but inconvenient. Then the problems with the oil line began, I had to change all the tubes. Recently the clutch finally flew. There was not much work, as there was nowhere to put the spare parts. The chainsaw is still lying around, I don’t even know if I can put it back.
Advantages: the price, the design, the powerful and reliable motor;
Cons: it has a broken attachment to the oil tank, requires high-quality oil for the chain. It is difficult to buy original spare parts.

Owner reviews
Congratulations on making the right choice. The hard drive saw Zubr ZPD 2000 in three incomplete months. The main work is the saw front along with the face plates. For the record, the design is reliable, the mounting posts are easy to fix with their own hands. Sergey Nikonovich
After a year of rather intensive use of the middle case on the recommendation of the seller got in to change the brushes and clean the collector from the carrier. Did not have to do anything, the brush collector assembly is in excellent condition. Looks like your own opinion of the poor quality of Chinese build needs to be partially or completely changed. vadik
