Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.360150 is a gasoline-powered tool intended for cutting wood. It's manufactured by POULAN/WEEDEATER under the Craftsman Brand for Sears. The chain saw is equipped with a 2.6 cubic inch/42cc 2-cycle engine and an 18-inch bar. It has various controls and adjustments including an on/stop switch, throttle trigger, throttle lockout, fast idle lock, choke knob, and a primer bulb. The on/stop switch is used to stop the engine, while the throttle trigger controls engine speed. The throttle lockout must be pressed before the throttle trigger can be activated. The fast idle lock holds the throttle trigger in the starting position. The choke knob activates the choke to provide additional fuel to the engine during cold starts. The primer bulb circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting.
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.360150 also features a chain brake, which is a device designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs. The chain brake can activate automatically in the event of kickback, and manually if the front hand guard is pushed forward. It is disengaged by pulling the front hand guard back toward the front handle as far as possible. The chain saw also has a chain tension adjustment knob, which can be used to adjust chain tension. The chain saw is equipped with a temperature limiting muffler and spark arresting screen to meet the requirements of certain safety codes. The chain saw is listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. in accordance with American National Standards for Gasoline-Powered Chain Saws Safety Requirements (ANSI B175.1-2000).
