Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.360131 is a gasoline-powered tool designed for cutting wood. It is manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears under the Craftsman brand. This chain saw operates with a 2.4 cubic inch/40cc 2-cycle engine and features an 18-inch bar for cutting. It is equipped with an ON/STOP switch for engine control, a throttle trigger to regulate the engine speed, and a throttle lockout to prevent accidental triggering. It also has a choke/fast idle lever for cold starting or after refueling, which provides additional fuel to the engine.
The chain saw includes a primer bulb that circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. It is equipped with a chain brake, a device designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs. The chain brake activates either automatically in the event of a kickback or manually if the front hand guard is pushed forward. The chain saw also has an adjusting screw for chain tension. Regular use of the chain saw can cause the chain to stretch, and the tension should be checked regularly. The saw uses bar and chain oil for continuous lubrication during operation. The saw's design requires the use of unleaded gasoline mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.
