Background
The Craftsman Trimmer 358.795121 is a gardening tool designed for trimming grass, weeds, and light vegetation. It is powered by a 25cc, 1.5 cu. in., 2-cycle gas engine and features a curved shaft design. The trimmer has a cutting path of 17 inches, and uses a 0.080 inch diameter nylon trimming line, which advances when the head is tapped on the ground. The fuel capacity of the trimmer is 6 fl oz, and it operates on a 40:1 gasoline to oil ratio, which equates to approximately 3.2 oz of oil per 1 gallon of gasoline.
In terms of operation, the Craftsman Trimmer 358.795121 requires priming the fuel, moving the choke to full, and pulling the starter rope to start. The choke then needs to be moved to half until the engine warms up. During use, the trimmer line advances by tapping the rotating head on the ground while holding the throttle open. The unit is held at waist level, sweeping from right to left for trimming. Regular maintenance of the trimmer includes checking for loose fasteners, cleaning the air filter every 5 hours of use, and changing the spark plug yearly.
