Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.351810 is a gas-powered chainsaw, produced by POULAN/WEEDEATER for Sears, with a 2.4 cubic inch (or 40cc) 2-cycle engine. The chainsaw features an 18-inch guide bar, which is the part that the chain wraps around. This chainsaw is powered by a combination of gasoline and oil, which is mixed and added to the fuel tank. The chainsaw is started by pulling a starter rope, and the engine's speed is controlled by a throttle trigger.
The chainsaw has several features designed for convenience and control. It includes an ON/STOP switch to halt the engine, a chain brake to stop the chain in case of kickback, and a throttle lock-out to prevent accidental triggering of the throttle. It also has a choke/fast idle lever, which provides additional fuel to the engine during cold starts. A primer bulb circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. The chainsaw also has a chain tension adjustment feature, which compensates for the natural stretch of a new chain during the initial stages of operation.
