Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw Model 358.350080 is a gasoline-powered saw with a 2.4 cubic inch/40cc 2-cycle engine. The saw features an 18-inch bar for cutting various types of wood. It is equipped with a variety of controls and adjustments including an ON/STOP switch, a throttle trigger, a throttle lockout, and a fast idle lock. The ON/STOP switch is used to stop the engine and the throttle trigger controls the engine speed. The throttle lockout must be pressed before the throttle trigger can be squeezed. The fast idle lock holds the throttle trigger in the starting position.
The chain saw also includes a choke knob and a primer bulb. The choke knob activates the choke to provide additional fuel to the engine during cold starting, while the primer bulb circulates fuel to the carburetor to provide quicker starting. The chain tension can be adjusted as required, considering that a new chain usually stretches during the first 30 minutes of operation. The saw also includes a chain catcher, guide bar, and front handle. The chain catcher prevents the chain from snapping back in case it breaks or jumps off the guide bar. The front handle provides the operator with control while using the saw.
