Craftsman 35834120 chainsaw Parts

For Craftsman electric chainsaw model 35834120, the serial number is printed on the starting instructions decal. Use that serial number (along with the model number) when ordering parts or requesting service; see the 35834120 operator's manual for the exact decal location.

Where to find the serial number on model 35834120

Look for a label or decal that includes the starting instructions. On this model, that decal is where the model number and serial number are recorded.

• Unplug the chainsaw before handling it or removing covers.
• Check the starting instructions decal first (most common location for this model).
• Look under or near the handle area where labels are easy to read.
• Wipe sawdust and oil film off the housing so the numbers are legible.
• Write the serial number down exactly as shown (include any letters).

What to do with the serial number

We use the serial number to help match the correct parts and production version when there are mid-series changes.

What you have	What it’s used for	Example of when it helps
Model number (35834120)	Identifies the correct parts breakdown	Choosing the right bar and chain family
Serial number	Narrows down the build version	Confirming the correct fasteners or internal components
Both together	Best for parts and service requests	Ordering repair parts with fewer delays

Why it matters

Using the correct serial number helps prevent ordering a part that looks similar but fits differently, especially for wear items like the guide bar and chain.

Common problems on the Craftsman 35834120 electric chainsaw include a chain that cuts rough or at an angle, a chain that stops in the cut, the chain not moving when the trigger is pulled, and poor bar and chain lubrication. Many issues trace back to chain sharpness, chain tension, or oil flow (see the 35834120 owner's manual).

Most common symptoms and what they usually mean

• Chain does not move when the trigger switch is engaged: chain tension too tight, guide bar rails pinched, or trigger switch failure.
• Chain clatters or cuts roughly: incorrect chain tension, dull cutters, depth gauges too high, or a worn sprocket.
• Chain stops within the cut: chain tension too tight or bar rails pinched.
• Chain cuts at an angle: cutters sharpened unevenly or damaged.
• Oil inadequate for bar and chain lubrication: oil tank empty, oil pump clogged, or guide bar oil hole blocked.

Quick checks we recommend first

1. Unplug the saw before inspecting or adjusting anything.
2. Check chain tension with the motor stopped; a loose or dull chain increases kickback risk.
3. Confirm the oil tank is filled and the guide bar oil hole is clear.
4. Inspect the cutters for dullness or damage (especially after hitting dirt, sand, or a foreign object).
5. Verify bar condition (rails not pinched) and that fasteners are tight.

Common problems and typical fixes (at a glance)

Problem you notice	Most likely cause	Typical fix
Chain won’t move	Tension too tight, bar rails pinched, trigger issue	Set correct tension; repair/replace bar; service switch
Rough cutting	Dull chain, wrong tension, worn sprocket	Sharpen/replace chain; adjust tension; replace sprocket
Poor oiling	Empty tank, clogged pump, blocked oil hole	Fill oil; clean oil path; service pump
Cutting crooked	Uneven sharpening, damaged cutters	Sharpen evenly or replace chain

Parts that commonly wear

If your chain is dull, stretched, or damaged, replacement is often the fastest fix. For this model, common wear items include the chain 91PX052G and the guide bar.

Why it matters

A poorly tensioned or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback and makes the saw harder to control. Keeping the chain sharp, properly tensioned, and properly lubricated improves cut quality and helps protect the guide bar, sprocket, and motor.
