Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.360171 is a gasoline-powered chainsaw manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears under the Craftsman brand. The chainsaw is equipped with a 2.6 cubic inches/42cc 2-cycle engine and an 18-inch bar. It involves various controls and adjustments for its operation including an ON/STOP switch for controlling the engine, a throttle trigger for regulating engine speed, and a choke knob for activating the choke during cold starts.
Additionally, the chainsaw features a fast idle lock, which holds the throttle trigger in the starting position, a primer bulb that circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting, and a chain brake that stops the chain in the event of kickback. The chain brake can be activated manually or automatically. The chainsaw also comes with a chain tension feature, which allows the user to adjust the tension of the chain, as a new chain typically stretches during the first 15 minutes of operation. It is designed to be used occasionally and requires a fuel mix for operation.
