Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.351701 is a gasoline-powered chainsaw that was manufactured by POULAN/WEEDEATER for Sears. The chainsaw features a 2.3 cubic inch/38cc 2-cycle engine and a 16-inch bar. It is equipped with a system to keep the working temperature as low as possible, which includes air intake on the starter, an air guide plate, fins on the flywheel, cooling fins on the cylinder, and a cylinder cover that directs cold air over the cylinder. The chainsaw is also equipped with a chain brake and a choke/fast idle lever.
The chainsaw is designed to run on a minimum of 87 octane [R+M]/2 clean gasoline. The chainsaw operates by pulling a starter rope handle, which can be done with a controlled and steady motion, thanks to its Sim-pulTM starting system. It also comes with a primer bulb that needs to be pressed slowly six times to start the engine, and a choke/fast idle lever that sets the correct throttle setting for starting when pulled out to the full extent. The chainsaw is also equipped with an ON/STOP switch for easy operation.
