Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw Model 358.350830 is a gasoline-powered tool designed for cutting wood. Manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears, this chain saw runs on a 2-cycle, 2.4 cubic inch (approximately 40cc) engine. Its main components include a front handle, starter rope, on/stop switch, choke/idle lever, muffler, bar, sprocket hole, starter housing, fuel mix fill cap, primer bulb, cylinder cover, chain, throttle lockout, rear handle, clutch cover, and bar nuts.
The chain saw also features a chain brake, designed to halt the chain's motion in the event of a kickback. The chain brake can be activated both automatically and manually. For optimal performance, the chain tension should be checked frequently, particularly as a new chain is prone to stretching during the initial 15 minutes of operation. The choke/fast idle lever controls the additional fuel supply to the engine during cold starting, while the primer bulb facilitates quicker starting by circulating fuel to the carburetor.
