Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.351202 is a gasoline-powered chain saw, a type of portable, mechanical saw that cuts with a set of teeth attached to a rotating chain running along a guide bar. This particular model, manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears, features a 3.3 cubic inch, 54cc two-cycle engine and a 20-inch guide bar.
The product features various controls and adjustments for user convenience. It has an ON/STOP Switch for controlling the engine, a Throttle Trigger to regulate engine speed, and a Choke Knob to facilitate cold starting by providing additional fuel to the engine. The Chain Tension requires frequent checking, particularly when the chain is new, as it is typical for a new chain to stretch during the first 30 minutes of operation. A Fast Idle Lock, Throttle Lockout, and Bar Tool are additional features on the Craftsman Chain Saw 358.351202. This product is often used for tasks such as tree felling, limbing, bucking, pruning, cutting firebreaks in wildland fire suppression, and harvesting of firewood.

Warranty
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.351202 comes with a full one-year warranty from the date of purchase. During this period, Sears will repair any defect in material or workmanship free of charge, as long as the chainsaw is maintained, lubricated, and tuned-up according to the owner's manual. However, it's important to note that the warranty does not cover the bar, chain, spark plug, and air filter, as these are considered expendable parts that can wear out during normal use. If there is a need to claim the warranty, customers can do so by returning the chainsaw to the nearest Sears Service Center in the United States. It's worth noting that if the chainsaw is used for commercial or rental purposes, the warranty period is reduced to 30 days from the date of purchase.
