Background

The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.351900 is a gasoline-powered chainsaw designed for cutting wood. The product was manufactured by POULAN/WEEDEATER for Sears under the Craftsman Brand. The chainsaw is certified under the American National Standards for Gasoline-Powered Chain Saws Safety Requirements (ANSI B175.1-2000). The chainsaw comes with a cooling system to manage its working temperature. This cooling system consists of an air intake on the starter, 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 also features a chain brake, an air filter, a spark arresting screen, and a muffler. The chain brake is a safety mechanism to stop the chain from spinning. The air filter is designed to keep dust and debris out of the engine to improve its lifespan and performance. The spark arresting screen is designed to prevent sparks from exiting the muffler, thereby decreasing the risk of starting a fire. The muffler helps to reduce the noise produced by the engine and direct exhaust gases safely out of the engine.
