Background

The Craftsman Trimmer 358.795580 is a gasoline-powered string trimmer manufactured by Sears. The trimmer is designed for light duty yard work and uses a 32cc 2-cycle gasoline engine. The engine operates on a 40:1 gas/oil mixture, and the trimmer uses a 0.080 inch monofilament line for cutting. The trimmer has a straight shaft design and can cut grass, light weeds, and brush up to 17 inches wide. The engine is started with a starter rope, and the trimmer's controls include a throttle trigger, choke lever, primer bulb, and on/off switch.

The Craftsman Trimmer 358.795580 requires regular inspection and cleaning after each use to maintain its condition. The air filter should be cleaned every 5 hours of use, and the spark plug should be replaced yearly. The trimmer line should also be checked and replaced as necessary, and the external metal surfaces need to be lubricated prior to off-season storage.

Warranty

The Craftsman 358.795580 Trimmer comes with a 2-year limited warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship under non-commercial use. It's important to note that this warranty does not cover expendable parts such as the cutting line, spark plug, and air filter, which are expected to wear out due to normal use. If you encounter any issues with the trimmer that you believe fall under the warranty's coverage, you can claim the warranty by reaching out to a Sears service center. Additionally, the carburetor, ignition system, and spark plug are covered by a separate 2-year emission control defect warranty.
