rules for safe operation

1. Never operate a chain saw when you are

fatigued.

2. Use safety footwear, snug-fitting clothing, and
eye, hearing and head protection devices.

3. Always use caution when handling fue!. Move

the chain sawat least 10 feet (3 m)from the
fueling point before Starting the engine.

4. Do not allow other persons to be near the

chain saw when starting or cutting with the
chain saw. Keep bystanders and animals out of

the work area.

5. Neverstart cutting until you have a clear work

area,:, secure footing, and a planned _retreat

path from the.failing tree,

6. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both
hands when the engine is running. Use a firm

grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the
chain saw handles.

7. Keepall partsofyour body away from the saw

chain when the engine is running.

8. Before you start the engine, make sure the

saw chain is not contacting anything.

9. Always carry the chain saw with the engine

stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the

rear, and the muffler away from your body.

10. Never operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or is not completely and

and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw
chain stops moving when the throttle control
trigger is released.

11. Always shut off the engine before setting it
down.

12. Use extreme caution when cutting small size
brush and saplings because slender material

may catch the saw chain and be whipped to-
ward you or pull you off balance.

13. When cutting a limb that is under tension be
alert for spring back so that you will not be

struck when the tension in the wood fibers

is released.

14. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or

fuel mixture.

15. Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated
areas.

16. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
specifically trained to do so.

17. All chain saw service, other than the items
listed in the Owner's Manual maintenance in-

structions, should be performed by competent
chain saw service personnel. (e.g., if improper

tools are used to remove the flywheel, or if an
improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in
order to remove the clutch, structural damage
to the flywheel could occur which could sub-

sequently cause the flywheel to burst.)

18. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the up-
ward motion of the guide bar which occurs

when the sawchain at the nose of the guide bar
contacts an object. Kickback can lead to

dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.
TO AVOID KICKBACK:

Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands.
Don't over reach. Don't let the nose of the

guide bar contact a log, branch, ground or
any other obstruction, Cut at high engine

speeds. Don't cut above shoulder height.

Follow manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

1. Remove the bar mounting screw, washer, and bar

clamp with the bar wrench supplied with your saw.
Figure 1. After the bar clamp is removed there wit| be
two guide plates mounted on the guide bar studs. Re*
move one of these plates only. After guide bar and
chain have been installed, replace guide plate with bevel

side to front of unit and with flange sidesout (fig. tA).

Install bar clamp but do not tighten clamp screw beyond

finger tight sochain adjustment can be made.

2. Mount the slotted end of the bar over the mount-

ing pins and slide bar to the rear. Figure 2.

3. Hold about 8" of chain between your hands, with
sharp edge of cutters facing your right hand. Form an arc

with the chain and place it (cutters first) over the top of
clutch drum. Once the chain isover the clutch drum, turn

the chain so the drive link tangs engage the sprocket
teeth. Figure 2. On Model 358-350870 (Craftsman 2.1
PS) and model 358-350880 (Craftsman 2.3 PS/VL) engage
chain drive links in groove of rim sprocket teeth. Chain
travels in direction arrow indicates in Figure 2.

4. Starting at the top of the .bar, gradually work the
chain into the groove of the bar until all drive links are
engaged in the bar groove. Be sure cutters face forward
on top of bar. Figure 3.

5. Slide bar forward and:fit adjustment hole in bar

over adjusting pim if you have trouble fitting the adjust- ....

ing pin into the hole, use a small ended screwdriver to :

guide the pin into the hole. The pin may have to be ......

adjusted backwards or forwards with adjusting screw

(Figure 4B) to line up with the hole in the bar. Figure 4A.

6. Replace outside guide piate, bar clamp, washer,

and screw. Tighten bar clamp screw finger tight. Make
sure hole in bar and adjusting pin are properly aligned.

7. Raise tip of bar and turn the adjusting screw clock-

wise to tension the chain. Figure 4B. There should be _,

light tension in the chain, but the chain should move
around the bar freely when pulled by hand,

Be careful, the chain teeth are sharp] Continue to hold
the nose of the bar up and tighten the bar clamp screw

with the wrench provided. Now pull the chain along the
bar to be sure you have the right tension. If the chain is
too tight, toosen the bar clamp screw slightly, turn the
adjusting screw counterclockwise a little and lift up on
the chain. Then tighten bar clamp screw. Recheck chain
tension. Lift the chain off of the middle of the length of
the bar. if it is loose enough for thetangsto come out of

the bar groove, the chain istoo loose. You should only be
able to lift the chain 1/8"" from bar. Whenever using a new

chain, check chain tension often, as new chain stretches.
After the chain has been used for awhile, it is a goodprac-

tice to check chain tension every time the gas tank is
filled. Proper chain tension is very important to help in-
sure maximum performance from your chain saw.

Follow these helpful hints on care and maintenance to

get the best possible service from your saw, to prevent

major breakdown and costly repair bills. Careful servicing
of your saw is one of the most important steps in preven-

AIR Fi LTER AND CARBURETOR

To clean the air filter or adjust the carburetor, loosen the
filter cover screw (ahead of choke knob) and remove it

and the air filter cover. The air filter element should be
removed after evew 10 hours use and rinsed out in gaso-

line or fue! and oil mix. Squeeze it out well and be sure

the filter element fits into the cavity neatly without folds,
and flush with the top surface. See figure 6. Allow filter
element to dry before restarting engine or mixture will be

too rich;

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS

General:

Carburetor adjustments are made at our factory and wil|

be correct for most app ications. Further adjustments may
be required due to altitudes above 4000 ft., brands!age of
fuel used, and atmospheric conditions.

Caution:

The needles and associated parts will be damaged if Over-
tightened.

Adjustments:

Step 1. (Refer to Figure 7) -- Remove carburetor cover,
Turn high speed and low speed needles clockwise until
they stop, Remember! Don't Over-Tighten.

Step 2. Turn high and low speed needles counterclock-
wise one full turn.

Step 3. Start engine in the same manner asdescribed on
page 3 under "Starting and Stopping". The chain saw

engine should be run four or five minutes to bring it to

operating temperature.

Step 4. (Low Speed Needle Adjustmeht) " Squeeze the

throttle trigger and hold it in for five or six seconds.This
should clear the combustion chamber of built up fuels.

StepS. Squeeze throttle trigger .quickly. The engine
should accelerate smoothly. If it does not, turn low speed

needle counterclockwise 1/16 of a turn and squeeze
throttle quickly again. Continue turning tow speed screw

1/16 of a turn at a time until smooth acceleration isac-

complished.
Step6. (High Speed Needle Adjustment) -Squeeze

throttle trigger all the way in. Test cut a piece of wood.
Step 7. If engine speed begins to fade, turn high speed

needle counterclockwise 1/16 of aturn and make anoth'er
test cut. Continue this until fading is corrected.

Step 8. If there is an excessive amount of smoke in the
exhaust, turn high speed needle 1/16 of a turn clockwise

until excessive smoke is reduced. .........

Step 9. (Idle Speed Adjustment) -- Turn the idle speed
screw (Figure 7) clockwise until the chain beginsto move.

Now slowly turn idle speed screw counterclockwise until
chain stops moving.

PLEASE NOTE: Observe "Rules For Safe Operation"
when adjusting carburetor.

TO adiust the high speedneedle, first make a testcut with

the saw; If the engine power seemsto fade in the cut, the
mixture isset too lean. Remove the saw from the cut. The"
high needle should be tu rnedcounterclockwise slightly. If

there seems to !_ean excessive amount of smoke in the

exhaust, the mixture is set too rich. Remove the saw from

the cut. The high speed needle should be turned clockwise
slightly. After each adjustment make a testcut to check

performance. :....

When finally adjusted, the high speedneedle will usually

be 7/8 to 1-1/8 turns open (counterclockwise). Try to
keep sawdust away from the carburetor when the filter

cover is removed. Be sure to hold the saw firmly with
both hands while cutting. Before replacing the air filter

cover, be sure to clean off the mating surfaces of cover
and carburetor box. See figure8.

Turn choke knob to the right (counterclockwise) and
close choke lever over carburetor so that the finger on
the choke lever (cover underside) lines up with the slot

in the choke lever over the carburetor. Replace the filter
cover and tighten cover screw Figure 9.

If the clutch must be removed from your saw, it is bestto
return the saw to your Sears Store, as they have the

proper equipment to do the job. However, if you must

remove the clutch, follow these instructions carefu!ly.

1.

Remove the bar and chain.

2.

Remove the rubber connector from the spark plug.

3.

Remove the fan housing, figure 10, and secure the

flywheel from turning. This is best accomplished by
wedging a socket wrench or an end wrench between
the flywheel nut and the front handlebar. See

Figure 11. Clutch removal should not be attempted

without first removing the fan housing, as damage

to the starter or flywheel could occur.

Use a soft, blunt ended punch and hammer to turn

4_

the clutch spider off of the crankshaft. Use one of
the two notches provided for *,,hispurpose and turn

the clutch spider clockwise, as the threads are left-
hand threads. See Figure t2. Do not pound directly
on the ends of'the spideri or clutch shoes, to turn

it. Use only the notches provided. If the spider
does not come loose after a few strokes, take the
saw to your Sears Store and let them remove the
spider. After the spider has been removed, the

clutch drum and sprocket may be removed. All _
parts should be inspected for wear, especially the

sprocket, tf it is severely worn, have it replaced, it _ i

is the most economical in the long run if the chain

and sprocket are replaced at the same time. When

reinstalling the clutch drum, apply a coat of oil to

the bearing in the clutch drum. Reinstall the spider,

counterclockwise. Just a few taps with the hammer

and punch are sufficient, as the spiderwiil tighten

itself when you start cutting wood with the saw. '

EXHAUST PORT CLEANING

Model 358-350842 (Craftsman 2.1) Model 358-350870 (Craftsman 2.1 PS)

After lengthy running time, carbon deposits will

build-up in the exhaust ports causing the engine to
lose power. The exhaust ports should be cleaned

every 25 to 30 hours. 'Pull the rubber connector
from the spark plug and remove the spark plug.

Remove the muffler. With the exhaust ports ex-
posed, pull the starter rope until the piston moves

far enough to close the exhaust port_. See Figure

!3, Use a wooden stick, about ice cream bar stick

size, to scrape the carbon deposits from the exhaust
ports. Do not use a metallic scraping tool, as you

may scratch the piston. Turn unit over and shake
out all loose carbon. If compressed air is convenient,
blow loose carbon from exhaust ports. After

cleaning the ports, pull the starter rope to allow the

piston to clear the cylinder of any material which
may have fallen into the cylinder. Clean screen with

wire brush and replace the muffler. Clean and gap.

the spark plug if necessary. Replace the spark plug

and the rubber con hector.

SPARK PLUG

Modei_358-350842 (Craftsman 2.1) Model 358-350870 (Craftsman 2-1 PS)

If the spark plug is not clean and properly gapped,
the engine will be hard to start and will not deliver
the best performance. The spark plug should be

cleaned and gapped every 25 hours. Remove the

rubber connector on the spark plug and remove

the spark plug. Use a wire brush or a pocket knife

to clean deposits from the electrodes of the

spark plug..Be careful when removing, cleaning,

:gapping, and replacing the spark plug. If it is

damaged it will not work properly and must be
replaced. The proper gap between the spark plug
electrodes is .025 _'. (use wire or flat gauge} Figure

The rubber,vibration" mounts are designed so that a failure

of one of the mounts will not affect the safety of the saw.

Operation of the saw With a broken rubber mount may
cause excessive wear to other components, resulting in a

hazardous situation. Should a rubber mount break, take it
to a Sears Store immediately and have it replaced.

Check a|l vibration mount screws and nuts for tightness
every two to three hours of operating time.

Sprocket Nose Bar

HOW TO SHARPEN YOUR CHAIN

Craftsman 2.1 PS and Craftsman 2.3 PS/VL are equipped
with a sprocket nose bar. The sprocket nose does not re-

quire grease. Bearings have been greased and sealed at the

be evenwith guide bar rails for proper tension (seearrow in

Figure 19 page 9). Clean loose wood chips from around
sharpening mechanism (see fig. lB). Rotate depth ad-
justment knob counterclockwise (opposite direction of
arrow on knob) until tight (no. 3, fig. 15). Start engineand
open throttle to about 1/2 open. Push oscillating knob (no.

again. Repeat until a small shower of sparks can be seen.
When sharpening stone contacts chain (indicated by
sparks), move the oscillating knob rapidly side to side. This

sideto side movement sharpensthe chain and will also dress
the stone with an evenwear. Sharpening a dull chain should

require about 5 to 10 seconds.Do not oversharpen.

When the chain needs sharpening again_ the depth knob
should not be turned more than one click. One click

advances the stone sufficiently to sharpen the chain.
This allows the operator to sharpen the chain without

fear of grinding too much from the chain.

Model 358-350880 (Craftsman 2.3 PS/VL) Only

Before installing guide bar and new chain, clean sides of
guide bar, side of guide bar mounting pad (where guide

bar mounting studs are located) and inside mounting pad
of bar clamp thoroughly. A wood chip or debris between
guide bar and mounting pads could cause chain teeth to
be sharpened long on one side and chain would cut side
wise. A stone improperly aligned will cause the same
problem.

Tighten chain tension until all tie straps (No. I, Figure I9)

rest on guide bar and when pulled at top, the bottom of the
drive links will pull up even with guide bar rail (No. 2,
Figure 19). Besure chain has this tension anytime the chain

is being sharpened. Under normal conditions your chain

should be sharpened once after 2 or 3 tanks of fuel have

1/4" PITCH TYPE 89

(For use on chain sawswith power sharp systems)

This chain was so designed that approx. 80% of the needed sharpening is accomplished by your saw's built-in-sharpener. While the

chain is being sharpened by the built-in-sharpener, the cutting edges of the cutters are gradually beingaltered. 89 series chain is

designed and engineered to efficiently cut wood. If rocks, nails, or other foreign materialsare cut, more frequent sharpeningswill be

required. Fig. 20

Fig.20 :

Top Plate Depth Gauge

Fig. 21

Side Plate :

Just before the 5th or 6th Power Sharp sharpening, the side

plates should be filed. This task can be done easily and

quickly with aSears file and guide No. 32-36516.

• Fig. 2!

In abnormal use, in sand, rocks and abrasive materials,

side plates should be checked more often. Damage to the

cutters caused by abrasive materials usually results in

"discoloration Spots" where the chrome has been worn

away. Cutter side plates should be filed until these spots

are removed.

I_ILING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT'D.)

Model 358-350870 (Craftsman 2.1 PS) - 358-350880 (Craftsman 2.3 PS/VL) Only

TO SHARPEN SIDE PLATES

1, Tension chain so it will=be snug, won't rock or

wobble on the bar. Figure 22.
2, Place file and guide on top of chain, allowing guide to
rest on top of cutter and depth gauge. Figure 23.

3. Determine filing direction. File stroke should be from
inside to outside of cutter or away from yourself. Figure

24.: Keep reference marks on file guide paraflel with chain

and chain guide bar. This will keep cutter angle at 22 o. This
is the same angle contained on a new cutter. Figure 24. Use

long smooth filing strokes.

4. File all cutters on one side of chain, then move to the
other side and fiie all cutters. This will save you time.

Fig. 22

Fig. 23

If you have filed the cutters correctly, the cutters on your

Power Sharp chain wil! look like top illustration. Figure 25.

Correct filing witl produce a small projection (1/32"). Use
the notch and mark on either end of your file holder to

check 1/32" projection. Figure 25.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OBTAINING SHARP CUTTING

EDGES

1. Normal_ sharpening is accomplished by the built-in

sharpener.

2. File cutters only when dull and attempt to keep all
cutters the same [ength. The side plates should always

be kept approximately 1/32 of an inch longer than the.
top piate.

3. Preserve the original filing angles carefully and uniformly.

4. Care should be taken never to file into the bottom of the
top plate. Keep guide lines on file guide aligned with

chain and guide bar(Figure 24). .... =

Your wood cutting chores will be a lot easier if the chain

is always properly sharpened and tensioned. If you notice

cutting becoming difficult and you have to push on the

.saw to make'it cut and you notice the chain "walking"

Fig. 26

sideways in the cut, this is a good indication that the

chain is dull and needs sharpening. Keep in mind that if
you let the chain cut in the dirt you will dull it at once,

Stop the engine and sharpen the chain. Cutting with adull
chain puts an excessive load on both the bar and chain

and witl greatly shorten their life. if you have never pur-

.chased a bar and chain, you wilt be surprised how costly

they are.

To properly sharpen your chain,you will need a file holder,

the correct size file (5/32" dia.), and .025 ,Depth Gauge

jointer. (See page 29). Be careful when handling saw

chain. Remember that even though the cutters are too

dull to cut wood, they'!! still cut fingers.

1. If possible, remove the chain from the saw and put

it in a saw filing vise. If you do not have a filing vise,

....i-increase the chain tension on the bar and sharpen the

::,:chain while it ison the bar.

2. There are three angles that must be maintained for a
properly sharpened chain. See Figure 26. All three of

these angles can be maintained accurately by Using.a file

iholder and file,

Fig. 27

jointer

2

• :-_-3. Place the file holder soit rides on both cutter top
i plate and: depth gauge {Fig, 26)with guide marks in fine

with the bar. File the cutters on the side of the chain
away from the Cutting edge. Apply Pressure:on the for-

ward stroke on!y. See Figure 26. ....

4._ Hold file:hepdte down 10degrees as you :make a few

firm strokes away from your self, appty_ing pressure

against the cutting edge. Apply pressure on the forward
stroke only. See Figure 26.

5. Sharpen all cutterson one side of chain, then work
from other side of chain and repeat sharpeningprocedure

for opposite side cutters. Be sureto file all cutters uni-
formly.

6. To set all depth gauges at the same level, place the
Depd_ Gauge jointer, Part No. 55005, over each depth

gauge and file the depth gauge with a fiat file until it is

level with the jointer, then round off the leading edge of

each depth gauge. See Figure 27. File the depth gauges
after each four to five times the chain is filed, it is not

necessary to file depth gaugesafter every chain sharpen-

ing. When sharpening the chain, also check the bar to see

if there are any burrs on the rails of the bar, especially

around the nose. File away the burrs with a flat file. Be
sure to clean off filings.

11

7. After sharpening all teeth and setting all depth
gauges,clean off the chain and re-setchain tension. Tighten
chain tension until all tie straps(see no. 1, fig. 28) rest on

Fig. 28

FILING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT'D.)

Model 358-350842 (Craftsman 2.1 )

guide bar and, when pulled at top, the bottom of the drive

links will pull up even with guide bar rail (no. 2, fig. 28).

While pulling the chain around the bar, pump the oil pump

button to re-lubricate the chain and at the same time, help
flush fittings out of the groove in the bar. If the oil pump
button becomes hard to push, check to see if the oil hole in

the bar is plugged. (See Figure 3). This hole will oCcasion-
ally become filled with dirt and sawdust, so check the oil

hole regularly (each time chain is sharpened) to see that it is

open. If it becomes plugged, remove the bar and clean out
the oil passage. To equalize wear, the bar should be turned

over when reinstalled. If the chain becomes very dirty,
remove it and wash it in kerosene, or solvent.Soak the

chain thoroughly in S.A.E. No. 30 oil before installing it.
This will relubricate itand prevent rust from forming.

If at any time your bar or chain shows signs of wear, or

burning, take the saw to your Sears Store for attention.
Never use the bar as a pry bar or to force wood apart.

If the bar becomes lodged in a cut and cannot be moved,
use wedges, or an axe to free the saw. If the bar becomes
bent, replace it.

STORING YOUR CHAIN SAW

Once you have finished using the saw and it is to be idle for several months, follow

these steps before _oring the saw.

1. Drain fuel from the tank. 3. Drain oil from oil tank.

2. Start Engine andallow to run at idle speed until all fuel is used. 4. Store in a dry area and cover to protect from dust.

Before tackiing big trees it is best if you cut a few branches,
limbs, or a small log just to get the feel of the chain saw,

and to become familiar with the controls. The accepted
way to hold the saw is to stand to the left of the saw

with your left hand on-the front handlebar and your
right hand on the rear handle so you can operate

the throttle trigger with your right index finger. You
should not stand directly behind the saw in case the

chain catches in a, cut and bucks backward. See Figure 29.

Start the engine, see that it is running properly, and

pump the oit button a few times to be sureit is delivering

oil to the bar and chain correctly. Squeeze the trigger

to open the throttle wide open and start the cut. If the

i chain isproperly sharpened, the Cutting should be relatively

• effortless. It isnot necessaryto press:down hardto make the

saw cut. Pushingthe saw too hard will slow the engineand
cutting will actually be more difficuffi (continued page 13)

12

Fig. 29

CUTTING TIPS (CONT'D)

,Just as the chain completes the cut, Jet off of the throttle

and let the engine idle. Cutting should always be done
at futl throttle. Do not, however, run the engine at full

throttle out of the cut. Remember to push the oil button

every 5 to t0 seconds white cutting with model 358-

350840. Listed below are brief instructions on how to make
the most common cuts with your chain saw.

FELLING

(CUTTING DOWN A TREE)

Fig. 30

Before felling a tree, select a safe path of retreat and clear a
wor_king area around the tree. Observe the way the tree is

leaning, if at all, and then decide where you want the tree
to fall. Trees of up to 6 or 7 inches in diameter can usually

be cut through in one pass. Under-cutting is required on

Jarger trees. See Figure 30.

To undercut, notch about 1/3 the way through the tree, on
the side you want the tree to fall. Then make the felling
cut about 2" above the notch and on the opposite side of
the felling cut, don't cut all the way through to the under-
cut. This leaves a small section of wood to act as a hinge
while the tree is falling, and allows the tree to fall in the
desired direction. If the tree is larger in diameter than the
length of the bar, the felling cut should be made from both

sides of the tree.

H

BUCKING

If you have to cut in the middle of a log which is supported

at both ends, cut halfway through the topside of the log, or
until the saw cut begins to close, see Figure 3t, then puEI

the guide bar out and undercut from the bottom side of log

using the top edge of the guide bar. See Figure 32.

Fig. 31

!3

BUCKING _(CONT'D)

This witl keep the log from pinching the bar and chain.
Be careful when undercutting that the chain does not cut

into the ground. Make sure that you have good footing so
you can get out of the way should the log begin to roll
when finishing the cut. When possible stand on the uphitl

side of the log so the iog_will roll away from you when
finishing the cut.

Fig. 32

Whenever possible; the iog should be placed off the ground
and supported by other logs, limbs, etc. See Figure 33. This

will help keep the chain out of the dirt. When the chain is
allowed to touch the ground, it will dull rapidly, requiring

excess filing to keep chain sharp and excess wear to bar.

I-I UNII lU"'" ""'" ....

(CUTTING LIMBS FROM STANDING TREE)

Small limbs can be cut in onecut. Larger limbs should be

under cut first and then finish-cut from above. After the
limb hasbeen removed, another finishing cut may be made

closer to the tree, if desired; for appearance. If you must
cut higher limbs either by climbing the tree, or standing

on a ladder, it is advisable to tie a length of rope from the
tree to the saw handle so the saw cannot fall very far if

you should drop it. Extreme care should be used in this
type of cutting'operation.
