Background
The Craftsman Trimmer 358.791560 is a gardening tool designed for trimming grass and weeds. Manufactured by Sears, it operates using a 25cc/1.5 cu in 2-cycle engine. The unit utilizes a 0.080-inch diameter trimmer line to cut a 16-inch path, powered by a fuel mixture of 40:1 gas/oil. Its unique feature is the automatic advancement of the line when the trimmer head is tapped against the ground, streamlining the trimming process. Additionally, the device has an assist handle adjustable to different positions, providing personalized comfort for the user.
The trimmer starts up by priming the bulb and activating the start lever, using a stop switch to halt the engine when required. It also includes a debris shield for user protection from thrown debris and a spark arrestor screen that meets legal requirements. Maintenance of the trimmer involves routine checks for loose fasteners, unit and label clean-up, trimmer line replacement, and air filter and spark plug maintenance. Seasonal storage needs entail draining the fuel and removing the spark plug. The engine is certified to meet EPA Phase 1 emission standards and is usable in all US states. Sears Parts and Repair Centers provide replacement parts for the trimmer.
