Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.352681 is a gasoline-powered tool designed for cutting wood. Manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears, the chainsaw features various components to enable its operation and enhance its functionality. The ON/STOP Switch is used to stop the engine, while the Throttle Trigger controls the engine speed. An additional feature, the Throttle Lockout, must be pressed before the Throttle Trigger can be activated, preventing accidental activation of the trigger.
The chainsaw also includes a Fast Idle Lock to hold the Throttle Trigger in the starting position, and a Choke Knob to provide extra fuel to the engine during cold starting. The Primer Bulb circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. The chainsaw also has a chain tension system, which responds to the natural stretching of a new chain during the first 30 minutes of operation and requires regular checking and adjustment. The 2.6 cu. in./42cc 2-Cycle Gasoline Chain Saw is equipped with an 18 inch bar.
