You might see it as	What it means	When it’s used
358.341160	Same model number	Often printed in manuals and on some labels
358341160	Same model number	Common for parts lookup and online search

Why it matters for parts and manuals

Using the exact model number helps us match the correct parts and diagrams for your Craftsman chainsaw, especially for wear items like the guide bar and chain.

• Ensures the right fit for bar and chain replacements
• Helps identify the correct safety and operating instructions
• Reduces returns caused by ordering similar-looking parts

If you’re replacing cutting components, match your parts to the model listing, such as the bar 16" 160SDET041 and the chain 91PX056G.

Common problems on the Craftsman 358341160 electric chainsaw include the chain not moving, rough cutting or chain chatter, the chain stopping during a cut, and poor bar-and-chain lubrication. Most issues trace back to chain tension, a worn or dull chain, guide bar wear, or an oiling restriction (see the 358341160 owner's manual).

Most common symptoms and what they usually mean

• Chain does not move when you pull the trigger: chain tension is incorrect, guide bar rails are pinched, the switch is failing, or a breaker/fuse has tripped.
• Chain chatters or cuts roughly: tension is off, cutters are damaged or dull, the chain is worn, or depth gauges are too high.
• Chain stops during the cut: cutters are not filed correctly, or the guide bar is bent/burred and rails are uneven.
• Not enough oil on bar and chain: oil tank is empty, the oil outlet is clogged, or the guide bar oil hole needs cleaning.
• Safety concerns (kickback risk): cutting with the bar tip or pinching the chain can cause sudden kickback; keep the work area clear and avoid obstructions.

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Unplug the saw before inspecting or adjusting anything.
2. Check chain tension and re-tension if needed.
3. Inspect the guide bar rails for pinching, burrs, or uneven wear.
4. Confirm oil flow: fill the tank, then remove the bar and clean the bar oil hole if lubrication looks dry.
5. Inspect the chain cutters for dullness or damage; sharpen or replace if cutting is rough.

Common fixes and matching parts (when wear is the cause)

Problem you see	Likely wear item	Model-matched part to consider
Rough cutting, dull cutters	Chain	Chain 91PX056G
Bar rails worn or bar bent	Guide bar	Bar 16" 160SDET041
Chain brake not working correctly	Chain brake assembly	Ayp chainsaw chain brake assembly 530029850

Why it matters

A properly tensioned, sharp chain with good lubrication cuts faster and reduces overheating, premature bar wear, and kickback risk. Keeping the oil cap secure and the bar oil path clean also helps prevent dry-running damage.

On the Craftsman electric chainsaw model 358341160, the model number is typically printed on the product identification label or nameplate on the saw housing; it may also appear on an ID tag. Confirm the exact label location using the 358341160 operator's manual.

Where to look on the saw

Check these common spots first (clean off sawdust and oil so the label is readable):

• Side of the main housing near the rear handle and trigger switch
• Bottom of the housing near the power cord entry/strain relief
• Near the bar clamp area (close to the guide bar and chain)
• On a printed logo label or a separate ID tag riveted or adhered to the housing

Quick tips to read a worn label

If the label is dirty or faded, these steps usually make it readable without damaging it:

• Unplug the saw before handling it
• Wipe with a dry cloth first; then use a slightly damp cloth
• Use a flashlight at an angle to highlight embossed or faded printing
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in to read small characters

What you should match

Use the model number to ensure you get the correct Craftsman chainsaw parts (like a guide bar, chain, or chain brake components).

Item to match	Example for this saw	Why it matters
Model number	358341160	Ensures diagrams and parts lists match
Bar length	16 in.	Helps select the correct guide bar and chain
Part ID/part number	Varies by part	Prevents ordering the wrong replacement

Why it matters

The model number is the fastest way to confirm fit for maintenance and repair items such as the bar 16" 160SDET041 or the correct chain style and tensioning components.

On the Craftsman electric chainsaw model 358341160, the serial number is printed on a rating label or stamped on the housing. Find it on the saw body, copy it exactly (letters and numbers), then use it with the model number to confirm the correct parts list.

Where to find the serial number on an electric chainsaw

Check these common locations on corded electric models:

• Rating label on the motor housing or main handle area
• Side of the saw body near the trigger switch and lock-out button
• Near the power cord entry point or strain relief
• Under the side cover (bar clamp area) if a label is placed inside the housing
• On the underside of the housing where it is protected from wear

How to record it so parts lookup works

Use these steps to avoid misreads:

• Unplug the chainsaw before handling it closely
• Clean the label area with a dry cloth so characters are readable
• Write down the full serial number exactly as shown (include dashes if present)
• Take a clear photo for reference when ordering parts

Model number vs. serial number

ID type	Example for this saw	What it does
Model number	358341160	Identifies the correct diagrams and parts list
Serial number	(varies by unit)	Identifies the specific production run/version

Why it matters

Serial numbers help distinguish production changes that can affect fit, especially for wear items like the guide bar and chain.

For label location diagrams and identification details, use the 358341160 owner's manual.
