Background
The Craftsman 358.350870 is a gas-powered chain saw. It is equipped with a 2.6 cubic inch/42cc 2-cycle engine and an 18-inch bar, making it suitable for a variety of cutting tasks. The chain saw features a number of components designed for efficient operation, including a front handle and hand guard, a starter rope, a chain muffler, an ON/STOP switch, a choke/idle lever, a bar oil fill cap, a fuel mix fill cap, a primer bulb, a rear handle, a cylinder cover, a chain catcher, a throttle trigger, and a bar adjusting wheel knob.
The chain saw also includes a throttle lock-out, which must be pressed before the throttle trigger can be squeezed, preventing accidental activation. The choke/fast idle lever, when pulled out, sets the choke and fast idle for cold starting or after refueling, providing additional fuel to the engine. The built-in primer bulb circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. The chain saw also has a chain brake that automatically stops the chain in the event of kickback, and can be manually activated by pushing the front hand guard forward. Chain tension can be adjusted as needed, with new chains typically stretching during the first 15 minutes of operation. This chain saw is intended for occasional use and is not equipped with an anti-vibration system.
