Background
The Craftsman Edger 358.797750 is a gardening tool manufactured by POULAN/WEEDEATER for Sears. This product is designed to cut sod with a blade that is regulated by a depth control lever. This lever can be moved forward for full depth edging or rearward for half depth edging. The edger also features a depth adjusting wheel that removes the blade from the cut when the unit is not in use.
The Craftsman Edger 358.797750 operates on a 24cc 2-Cycle gasoline engine. The engine incorporates an on/off switch and a starter rope handle for starting the engine. It also includes a choke for providing additional fuel when starting a cold or refueled engine. The throttle trigger controls the engine speed and is designed to be activated by the right hand. The product also has a primer bulb which circulates fuel to the carburetor. This edger's fueling engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline, which must be mixed with a good-quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil before operation.
