Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.350810 is a gasoline-powered tool designed for cutting wood. It is fitted with a 2.4 cubic inch/40cc 2-cycle engine and an 18-inch bar, making it suitable for occasional use. The chain saw features several controls and adjustments for different functions. The ON/STOP switch is used to stop the engine while the throttle trigger controls the engine's speed. The device also has a throttle lock-out that must be pressed before the throttle trigger can be squeezed, preventing accidental activation.
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.350810 is also equipped with a choke/fast idle lever, which is pulled out to the full extent for cold starting or after refueling to provide additional fuel to the engine. The primer bulb circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. The chain brake, a device designed to stop the chain if a kickback occurs, activates automatically in the event of kickback and manually if the front hand guard is pushed forward. Chain tension can be checked frequently and adjusted as needed, particularly as it is normal for a new chain to stretch during the first 15 minutes of operation. The chain saw is also designed with a muffler and spark arresting screen, which need to be regularly cleaned to avoid creating a fire hazard or affecting engine performance.
