Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.360180 is a gasoline-powered tool primarily used for cutting wood. This product is manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears under the Craftsman brand. The chain saw operates on a 2.6 cubic inch/42cc 2-cycle gasoline engine, and it has an 18-inch bar for cutting. It's equipped with various features that aid in its operation and user control.
These features include an on/stop switch which is used to halt the engine, a throttle trigger that controls the engine speed, and a throttle lockout that needs to be pressed before the throttle trigger can be squeezed. There's also a fast idle lock that holds the throttle trigger in the starting position, a choke knob that activates the choke for cold starting, and a primer bulb that circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. Additionally, the chain saw has a chain brake designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs. The chain brake can be activated automatically in the event of kickback, or manually by pushing the front hand guard forward. Lastly, the chain tension can be adjusted as needed, especially as it's normal for a new chain to stretch during the first 15 minutes of operation.
