Background

The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.351820 is a gas-powered chainsaw designed for cutting wood. It is equipped with a 2.4 cubic inch/40cc 2-cycle engine and an 18-inch bar. The chainsaw is manufactured by Poulan/WeedEater for Sears under the Craftsman brand, and it utilizes a fuel mix for operation.

Key features of the chainsaw include an ON/STOP switch, a throttle trigger, a choke/fast idle lever, a primer bulb, and a chain brake. The ON/STOP switch is used to stop the engine, while the throttle trigger controls the engine speed. The choke/fast idle lever aids in cold starting or after refueling by providing additional fuel to the engine. The primer bulb circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. The chain brake is designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs, which can be activated either automatically or manually. Furthermore, it is normal for a new chain of this product to stretch during the first 15 minutes of operation, which suggests that users should check the chain tension each time before starting the chainsaw.
