Background
The Craftsman Blower, model number 358.797550-BLOWER, is a versatile outdoor tool designed for a variety of tasks. This blower is powered by a 25cc, 1.5 cubic inch 2-cycle engine, allowing it to generate wind speeds of up to 200 miles per hour and produce 400 cubic feet per minute of airflow. Manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears under the Craftsman brand, it runs on unleaded gasoline which needs to be mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil at a ratio of 40:1.
The Craftsman Blower is useful for sweeping debris or grass clippings from driveways, sidewalks, and patios, as well as blowing grass clippings, straw, or leaves into piles or around joints and between bricks. The blower can also be used as a vacuum for picking up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs, and bits of paper. For optimal vacuum use, it is recommended to operate the unit at high speed and move slowly back and forth over the material being vacuumed. Despite its powerful performance, it requires regular care and maintenance tasks such as cleaning the unit, inspecting for loose or damaged parts, cleaning the air filter, replacing the spark plug, and checking the muffler mounting screws.
