Background
The Craftsman Blower 358.797931 is a versatile outdoor tool manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears. The product, which operates on a 2-cycle gasoline-powered engine, functions as a blower, vacuum, and mulcher, offering multiple uses for garden clean-up and maintenance tasks.
The blower features several control mechanisms designed to enhance its performance and user experience. It is equipped with an ON/STOP switch used to halt the engine, with the switch designed to stay in the ON position when not in use. To aid in the starting of a cold engine, the blower has a Cold Start feature which supplies fuel to the carburetor during startup. Once the engine has started, the Cold Start lever can be moved to the Run position. The unit also includes a Primer Button that removes air from the fuel lines and fills them with fuel, allowing the engine to start with fewer pulls on the starter rope. For controlling engine speed, the blower uses a Speed Control mechanism. The product operates on unleaded gasoline mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil at a ratio of 40:1.
