Background

The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.350600 is a gasoline-powered tool primarily used for cutting wood. It's manufactured by POULAN/WEEDEATER for Sears under the Craftsman brand. The chain saw is equipped with several features that help facilitate its operation. These include an ON/STOP switch for controlling the engine, a throttle trigger for managing the engine speed, and a throttle lockout that ensures the throttle trigger can only be activated intentionally.

The chain saw also features a choke/fast idle lever used for cold or refueled starting, and a primer bulb that circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. The chain brake, which stops the chain in case of kickback, can be activated either automatically or manually. This chain saw is designed for occasional use and requires regular maintenance, such as cleaning the air filter and replacing the spark plug annually, to ensure optimal performance.
