Background

The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.360120 is a gas-powered saw manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears. This chainsaw, engineered for cutting wood, is equipped with several key features that aid in its operation and efficiency. It has an ON/STOP switch, which is used to stop the engine, and a PRIMER BULB that circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. One of the primary features of the Craftsman Chain Saw is the CHAIN BRAKE, designed to stop the chain in the event of a kickback. It also includes a THROTTLE TRIGGER that controls engine speed, and a THROTTLE LOCKOUT that needs to be pressed before the throttle trigger can be squeezed, preventing accidental activation.

The chainsaw also contains a CHOKE/FAST IDLE LEVER, which helps in cold or refueled starting by providing additional fuel to the engine. Another feature is the chain tensioning system. It is normal for a chainsaw chain to stretch during use, especially during the initial operation, and this feature allows you to adjust the chain tension as needed. The unit also has a fuel and oil tank, with the oil tank designed for guide bar and chain oil. For maintenance, the chainsaw is designed for easy cleaning of the air filter and spark arresting screen, and it allows for spark plug replacement.
