On the Craftsman chainsaw model 358351061, the model number is found on a decal attached to the unit. We recommend locating that decal first, then recording the model number and the serial or date code for parts lookup and service reference using the 358351061 operator's manual.

On most Craftsman gas chainsaws, the model/serial decal is placed where it stays protected but still readable. Check these common spots:

• On the rear handle area near the trigger
• On the starter housing (recoil cover) side
• Near the fuel tank or oil tank area
• On the crankcase housing near the bar mount
• Under the top cover (near the air filter area)

The manual notes that the model and serial information is on the product and should be recorded for future reference. Capture these details:

• Model number (example: 358351061)
• Serial number or date code (if shown)
• Date of purchase (helpful for your records)

If the decal is damaged, clean the area gently and try a bright flashlight at an angle to make faint printing easier to see.

• Wipe with a damp cloth (avoid harsh solvents)
• Look for an imprint outline where a label used to be
• Check under covers that may have protected the decal

Using the exact model number helps us match the correct Craftsman parts list for your saw, including items like a carburetor kit, fuel line kit, chain, and guide bar.

For the Craftsman chainsaw model 358351061, use a 40:1 fuel mix (regular unleaded gasoline plus high-quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil). This model’s manual specifies 40:1; using 50:1 reduces lubrication and can lead to overheating and engine damage. See the 358351061 owner's manual.

A 40:1 mix means 40 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-cycle oil.

• 1 gallon gas: add 3.2 fl oz 2-cycle oil
• 1/2 gallon gas: add 1.6 fl oz 2-cycle oil
• 1 quart gas: add 0.8 fl oz 2-cycle oil
• Premix in an approved fuel container (not in the fuel tank)

The manual calls for high-quality 2-cycle oil for air-cooled engines. Avoid oils that are not designed for air-cooled 2-cycle equipment.

• Use fresh regular unleaded gasoline
• Use 2-cycle (air-cooled) engine oil (not automotive oil)
• Do not use boat/marine 2-cycle oils (NMMA/TC-W3 type)
• Consider fuel stabilizer for storage; run the engine about 5 minutes after adding it
• Fill bar oil whenever you fill fuel; the saw typically uses about one tank of bar oil per tank of fuel

Your 358351061 is a 2-cycle engine, so the oil in the fuel mix lubricates internal bearings and moving parts. Running lean on oil (such as 50:1 when 40:1 is required) increases friction and heat, which can cause poor performance and shorten engine life.
