Background
The Craftsman Trimmer 358.791800 is a gas powered garden tool produced by POULAN/WEEDEATER for Sears. It is designed for cutting grass and weeds with a cutting path of 17 inches. This trimmer uses a 0.095 inch diameter line for cutting. It operates with a 32cc, 1.9 cu.in. 2-cycle engine, which requires a fuel mix ratio of 40:1, equating to 3.2 oz of oil for every 1 gallon of gas. The trimmer also includes a recoil starter for operation.
In terms of operation, the user starts the trimmer by setting the on/off switch to ON, pressing the primer bulb 6 times, adjusting the start lever to START, and pulling the starter rope steadily. The trimmer line extends approximately 2 inches each time the head is tapped on the ground while the engine is running at full throttle. The trimmer is designed to use only a 0.095 inch line. Regular maintenance of the Craftsman Trimmer 358.791800 includes cleaning the engine air filter every 5 hours, replacing the spark plug yearly, and servicing or replacing the muffler and spark arresting screen after every 50 hours of use.
