It is upsetting that you have had this problem.
First you should determine the year and week your saw was produced. Find the serial number and either put 20 or 199 in front of the serial to determine the year so for example 01-0200001 put 20 in front of the serial it is is a total of 9 digits it the serial is 7 digits long add 199 to the beginning of the serial number the example is 9-4300001. The first being a 2001 and the second being a 1999 the first two digits after the - are the week of the year of production.
Find the manual that closely precedes the DOM of your 359 the manuals are dated year and month not year and week and not year and year, it is Year and Month of the date the manual went into effect. So a manual dated 03-04 or 2003-04 means the manual goes into effect April 1st 2003 and remains in effect till the next manual date.
