I couldn't find a manual.
That model family were cheap Poulan made "homeowner class" saws - but far from all Partners were like that. Partners hayday as a chainsaw manufacturer was in the 1970s and 1980s.

If it is anything like the 390 pictures I've seen on Google, it looks like a modern homeowner Poulan, but I may not be looking at the right saw.
EDIT: Uncle Niko beat me to it. As usual.
Well the one you have is not one of the saws that I am familiar with. Yours is " relatively new" my newest partner is a 5000 plus it was made back in 1984. It is a pro grade saw and will hold its own with other larger saws I am told. I can not speak to this personally as I only own my Partners.
Someone will come along soon and do a better job explain the lineage of your particular saw for you. Judging by what I have seen by Googling a little I would say yours is an inexpensive home owner version made for medium to light use. Partner in its time was a great old company but with time and buyouts and bankruptcy a lot of the old saws that made people a good living have been greatly depleted to the point that not much if anything exists of the original company's influence anymore. This fate fell on Poulan and McColloch and Homelite as well.

That depends on what bar and chain pitch is on it - but usually it is 3/8" lo-pro on those saws. If so it should be a 5/32" (4 mm) round file.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the chain on it is something a shop has seen before.

Measure across 3 rivets and divide by 2 to get the pitch of the chain (i.e. .325, .375, .404, etc.) The gauge is the width OD the tang on the drive links the fit in the groove on the bar (i.e. .043, .050, .058, .063).
