Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.360280 is a two-cycle gasoline-powered tool manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears. Designed primarily for occasional use, the saw is equipped with an 18-inch bar and a 2.6 cubic inch/42cc engine. Among its notable features are an ON/STOP switch for engine control, a throttle trigger for speed adjustment, and a throttle lockout for safety.
The chain saw also includes a choke/fast idle lever for cold starts or after refueling and a primer bulb that circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting. The device comes with a chain brake, designed to stop the chain in the event of kickback, which can be activated manually or automatically. The chain tension can be adjusted as needed, particularly as new chains tend to stretch during the first 15 minutes of operation.
