What model number is the Craftsman 35834111 chainsaw?
The model number for this Craftsman electric chainsaw is 35834111. On the saw itself, you’ll typically find the model number printed on a decal or label attached to the housing; our Craftsman 35834111 operator's manual also lists it.
Where to find the model number on the chainsaw
Look for a model/serial label on the unit. Common spots include:
- The main housing near the motor
- The handle area (side or underside)
- Near the bar mount or chain cover area
- A decal on the body shell
Model number vs. similar Craftsman models
Craftsman used several close model numbers for similar electric chainsaws. Here’s how 35834111 fits in:
| Model number | Guide bar length | Amps (typical spec) |
|---|---|---|
| 35834111 | 14 in. | 10.5 A |
| 35834251 | 14 in. | 10.5 A |
| 35834180 | 16 in. | 12 A |
Why it matters
Using the exact model number ensures you get the right parts and specs for your saw, especially for wear items like the guide bar and chain.
- For a 14-inch setup, match the correct bar 140SDEA041
- Use the correct matching chain 91PX052G
- Confirm fit before ordering if your saw has been modified over time

Where is the model number on a chainsaw?
On the Craftsman electric chainsaw model 35834111, the model number is printed on a decal attached to the saw body. You will typically find it on the main housing where it stays visible during normal use; confirm the exact location and format in the 35834111 operator's manual.
Where to look on the saw
Check these common spots first (they match where manufacturers place the ID decal on many electric chainsaws):
- Side of the main motor housing (near the handle area)
- Rear handle area where your hand naturally grips
- Near the bar mount area (close to where the guide bar and chain attach)
- Underside of the housing (flip the saw over with it unplugged)
- Near the power cord entry point
What you should record (and why)
The manual notes that the model and serial number are found on the product and should be recorded for future reference. Keeping both helps us match the correct parts list and diagrams for your exact unit.
| Item | What it’s used for | Example for this page |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the correct parts breakdown | 35834111 |
| Serial number | Helps identify production details for service | Varies by unit |
| Date of purchase | Helpful for maintenance history | Your purchase date |
Why it matters for parts and repairs
Even within the same Craftsman chainsaw family, small design changes can affect fit. Using the correct model number helps ensure you get the right wear items like the guide bar and chain, plus hardware such as a screw or nut.
If you are replacing cutting components, match them to the model-specific parts list, for example the bar 140SDEA041 and chain 91PX052G.

What are common chainsaw problems?
Common problems on the Craftsman 35834111 electric chainsaw include poor bar-and-chain lubrication, the chain not moving when the trigger is engaged, rough cutting from a dull or damaged chain, the chain stopping in the cut, and cuts that pull to one side. Many of these trace back to chain tension, bar condition, or oil flow (see the 35834111 owner's manual).
Most common symptoms and what they usually mean
- Oil is inadequate for bar and chain lubrication: oil tank empty, oil outlet clogged, or guide bar oil hole blocked
- Chain does not move when trigger switch is engaged: chain too tight, guide bar rails pinched, or an electrical switch issue
- Chain clatters or cuts roughly: incorrect chain tension, dull cutters, worn chain, damaged cutters, or a worn sprocket
- Chain stops within the cut: cutters dull or damaged, chain worn, or depth gauges too high
- Chain cuts at an angle: cutters damaged or dull on one side, or the guide bar is bent or worn
Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts
- Unplug the saw and let the chain fully stop before touching the bar or chain.
- Confirm oiling: fill the oil tank and check that oil can reach the bar (a blocked bar oil hole is common).
- Set chain tension correctly: a chain that is too tight can keep the chain from moving; too loose can chatter and cut poorly.
- Inspect the guide bar rails: look for burrs, uneven rails, or a bent bar.
- Inspect the chain cutters: dull or uneven cutters cause rough cutting and angled cuts.
Parts that commonly solve cutting and tracking issues
| Problem you see | Part that often fixes it (model-matched) | When to replace |
|---|---|---|
| Rough cutting, slow cutting | Chain 91PX052G | Cutters are worn, damaged, or sharpening no longer restores performance |
| Cutting at an angle, binding | Bar 140SDEA041 | Rails are uneven, bar is bent, or the bar is badly burred |
Why it matters
A poorly lubricated or improperly tensioned chain increases friction and reactive forces, which raises the risk of kickback and loss of control. The manual’s kickback guidance and safe hand positions are especially important when the chain is dull, pinched, or binding.

How to look up chainsaw serial number?
On the Craftsman 35834111 electric chainsaw, the model and serial number are on a decal attached to the unit. Record both numbers and use them together when ordering parts or scheduling service so you match the correct version of the saw.
Where to find the serial number on this model

- Side of the main housing near the guide bar mount
- Motor housing area on the outer body
- Rear handle or trigger housing area
- Flat, clean surface where a decal can adhere and be read easily
For the label callout and identification details, use the 35834111 manual.
How to use the serial number for parts lookup
Use the serial number to confirm you are selecting parts that match your exact production run, especially for cutting components and hardware.
- Write the serial number exactly as shown (letters, numbers, dashes)
- Keep it with the full model number 35834111
- Use both numbers when checking part fit
- Bring both numbers when contacting a service provider
| What to record | What it looks like | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 35834111 | Identifies the correct Craftsman chainsaw platform |
| Serial number | Alphanumeric from the decal | Helps match the exact build/version |
| Part info | Part number and description | Ensures correct replacement selection |
Why it matters
Chainsaws can have running changes over time. Using the serial number with model 35834111 helps ensure the guide bar, chain, and fasteners you choose fit correctly and assemble safely.
