Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.351600 is a gasoline-powered chain saw, designed with a set of features aimed at providing a reliable and practical tool for cutting wood. Manufactured By POULAN/WEEDEATER for Sears under the Craftsman Brand, it is equipped with a 2.2 cu.in./36cc 2-Cycle engine and a 16 inch bar, making it suitable for a range of cutting tasks.
The chain saw includes several control and adjustment features such as an ON/STOP switch that halts the engine, a throttle trigger that controls engine speed, and a throttle lock-out that prevents accidental triggering. Other notable features include a choke/fast idle lever for cold starting and a primer bulb to facilitate quicker starting by circulating fuel to the carburetor. The chain saw also has a chain brake, designed to stop the chain in case of kickback. The chain brake can be activated both manually and automatically. Additionally, the device has a chain tension check and adjustment feature, acknowledging that it is normal for a new chain to stretch during the initial operation.
