Background
The Craftsman 358.792010 is a gas-powered string trimmer, equipped with a two-cycle, air-cooled 28cc engine. The trimmer, which uses a mix of unleaded gasoline and synthetic two-cycle oil in a 40:1 ratio, is specifically designed for line trimming purposes. It utilizes a 0.095 inch diameter Craftsman brand line and offers a cutting width of 17 inches. Weighing approximately 10 lbs, the trimmer is equipped with a bump feed trimmer head and a line limiter blade built into the cutting shield to manage excessive line length.
The Craftsman 358.792010 is designed for a variety of landscape maintenance tasks such as trimming, edging, scalping, and sweeping. It is not intended for use in hedge trimming or pruning. To facilitate starting, the trimmer includes a primer bulb and adjustable choke settings. Usage involves operating a throttle trigger located on the underside of the assist handle, while the engine is halted through an ON/STOP switch. To ensure optimal cutting, the cutting line should be kept parallel to the ground during operation. Regular maintenance can include checks for loose fasteners, air filter cleaning, spark plug replacement, and inspection of the muffler and spark arrestor screen. At the end of the season, it is recommended to empty the fuel system, remove the spark plug, and clean external surfaces before storing in a dry location.
