Background
The Craftsman Chainsaw 358.341180 is a chainsaw manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears under the Craftsman brand. It is powered by a 13 Amp/4.0 Peak HP electric motor, which drives the 18-inch bar. The chainsaw is designed for cutting wood and is used in various activities such as tree felling, limbing, bucking, and pruning.
The chainsaw features a trigger switch, used to power on and off the unit. It is equipped with a safety feature called the trigger lock-out button, which prevents the motor from being accidentally started. The chainsaw also includes a bar oil cap for filling the bar oil tank, and a chain adjusting wheel for adjusting the chain tension. Additionally, the chainsaw is double insulated to protect against electric shock, meaning it can be plugged into any polarized 120-volt electrical outlet.
