Background

The Craftsman Chain Saw, model number 358.350180, is a versatile tool designed for cutting wood. Manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears, the chain saw comes equipped with several features designed to enhance its functionality. These include a cylinder cover, throttle, chain lookout, rear handle, choke knob, bar clamp, and a guide bar. Additional features include an ON/STOP switch, throttle trigger, throttle lockout, choke/fast idle lever, primer bulb, and chain tension mechanism.

The Craftsman Chain Saw is used predominantly for felling trees, chopping firewood, and trimming branches. The ON/STOP switch allows the user to swiftly halt the engine while the throttle trigger controls the engine speed. The throttle lockout feature ensures the throttle can only be squeezed when the lockout is pressed, preventing accidental use. The choke/fast idle lever and primer bulb assist in starting the engine, particularly in cold conditions. The chain tension can be adjusted as needed, and is particularly useful during the initial 30 minutes of operation when a new chain is likely to stretch.
