Background

The Craftsman Trimmer 358.798560 is a garden tool used for trimming grass and weeds. Manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears under the Craftsman brand, it is a 17-inch, 1.3 cubic inch/21cc 2-cycle gasoline-powered weed trimmer. The trimmer employs a straight shaft design, typically favored for its ability to reach under bushes and around obstacles.

The trimmer is equipped with a 2-cycle gasoline engine that features a primer bulb and a choke lever to facilitate starting. The trimmer head is designed to use a nylon cutting line with a diameter of 0.065 inches. The cutting line can be advanced by tapping the head on the ground. The trimmer also comes with a shield to protect the user from any potential debris. Regular maintenance, such as replacing the spark plug, cleaning the air filter, and keeping the unit clean, helps to ensure the trimmer's longevity and reliability.
