Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.352180 is a 2-cycle gasoline-powered tool designed for cutting wood. Manufactured by Poulan/WeedEater for Sears, the saw is equipped with a variety of controls and adjustments. These include an On/Stop Switch to halt the engine, a Throttle Trigger to regulate engine speed, and a Throttle Lockout that needs to be pressed before the throttle trigger can be activated, thus preventing accidental triggering.
The chain saw also features a Fast Idle Lock that holds the throttle trigger in the starting position, a Choke Knob for activating the choke to supply additional fuel to the engine during cold starts, and a Primer Bulb that circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. It has a Chain Tension feature that compensates for the normal stretching of a new chain during the first 30 minutes of operation. This tool is intended for wood cutting tasks and demands frequent checks on the chain tension for optimal performance.
