Product Information

Full details

The Draper 34.6cc 2-in-1 Petrol Grass and Hedge Trimmer is designed for homeowners needing a versatile tool for garden maintenance. Its key benefit is the ability to switch between trimming grass and cutting hedges with a single unit, powered by a reliable 34.6cc engine. A potential caveat is the requirement for 2-stroke engine fuel mixing and maintenance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the correct fuel mixture for the 34.6cc engine?

The exact fuel-to-oil ratio depends on the 2-stroke oil used, but it is typically 40:1 or 50:1. Always refer to the product's user manual for the precise ratio recommended by Draper.

How do I switch between the grass trimmer and hedge trimmer attachments?

The split-shaft design allows for tool-less or simple attachment changes. Loosen any securing mechanisms, remove the current attachment, and securely fit the desired attachment, ensuring it is firmly locked in place as per the user manual.

What is the maximum branch thickness the hedge trimmer can cut?

The hedge trimmer attachment features dual-action blades capable of handling branches up to approximately 9mm thick.

How often should I clean the air filter?

The air filter should be cleaned regularly, especially after heavy use or in dusty conditions. Check the user manual for specific cleaning intervals and instructions.

Can I use standard unleaded petrol with this trimmer?

Yes, the engine is compatible with standard unleaded petrol and E10 petrol. However, it must always be mixed with the correct 2-stroke engine oil.

What maintenance is required for the hedge trimmer blades?

After use, clean the blades and apply a lubricant to prevent rust, especially before storing the tool for an extended period. Sharpen them as needed for optimal cutting performance.

Is the shoulder harness adjustable?

Yes, the included single shoulder harness is designed to be adjustable for a comfortable fit and to help distribute the weight evenly, reducing fatigue.

Troubleshooting

Engine will not start

Check fuel level and mixture. Ensure the choke is set correctly for starting. Inspect the spark plug and air filter for debris. Verify the on/off switch is in the 'on' position.

Engine cuts out during use

Check the fuel-air mixture. Ensure the fuel tank is adequately filled. Clean the air filter and spark plug. Check for any blockages in the grass trimmer line or hedge trimmer blades.

Poor cutting performance (grass trimmer)

Ensure the nylon line is correctly loaded and of the appropriate thickness. Check for damage or wear on the line. Clean any debris around the cutting head.

Hedge trimmer blades not cutting effectively

Sharpen the blades. Ensure there are no obstructions or damage to the blades. Check that the branches are within the 9mm thickness limit.

Excessive vibration

Ensure all attachments and components are securely fastened. Check the condition of the spark plug and engine mountings. If persistent, consult the user manual or a qualified technician.
