Product Information

Full details

This Draper cordless long reach hedge trimmer is ideal for homeowners needing to maintain hedges, shrubs, and bushes, especially those with higher branches or that require detailed shaping. Its key benefit is the extended reach and adjustable head, allowing for comfortable and precise trimming without a ladder. A potential caveat is the 16mm branch cutting capacity, which may not be suitable for very thick wood. The trimmer features an 18V system, an adjustable pole from 1.9m to 2.4m, a multi-angle cutting head, ergonomic controls, and comes with a 2.0Ah battery and charger.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum branch diameter this trimmer can cut?

This trimmer is designed to cut branches up to 16mm in diameter.

How long is the pole when fully extended?

The adjustable pole extends from 1.9 meters to a maximum of 2.4 meters.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

Yes, this model includes a 2.0Ah Li-ion battery and a charger.

Can I use a larger capacity battery with this trimmer?

This trimmer uses the Draper 18V Li-ion system. Larger capacity batteries from the same system may be compatible, but it is always best to check the product manual or Draper's specifications for confirmation.

How do I adjust the cutting head angle?

The cutting head offers five preset positions (-60°, -30°, 0°, 30°, 60°) and can be adjusted via a lever or mechanism on the head assembly.

What warranty is provided?

This product comes with a 12 months parts and labour warranty from Draper.

Is the shoulder strap adjustable?

The shoulder strap is designed to provide comfort and support during use. While not explicitly stated as adjustable in all descriptions, it is intended to be fitted for user comfort.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer does not turn on.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the trimmer. Check that safety switches are engaged.

Blades are not cutting efficiently.

Check for any obstructions in the blades. Ensure they are clean and sharp. Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 16mm.

Trimmer stops during operation.

The battery may be low on charge; recharge the battery. Overheating could also be a cause; allow the tool to cool down before resuming use.

Uneven cutting performance.

Ensure the cutting head is properly angled and that you are moving the trimmer at a consistent speed. Check that the blades are free from debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides extended reach for safe trimming of high hedges.
Adjustable cutting head allows for precise angled cuts.
Cordless operation offers great freedom of movement.
Ergonomic design and shoulder strap enhance user comfort.
Includes battery and charger for immediate use.

Cons

Cutting capacity limited to 16mm branches, not suitable for thick woody stems.
Battery life may be a consideration for very large gardens (dependent on 2.0Ah capacity).
As a pole trimmer, it may be less maneuverable for intricate ground-level work compared to a standard trimmer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the 18V Li-ion battery is fully charged using the provided charger.
Attach the fully charged battery to the trimmer's battery port until it clicks securely.
Adjust the pole length to your desired reach by operating the telescopic adjustment mechanism.
Set the cutting head to the desired angle using the adjustment lever.
Attach the shoulder strap if required.

Compatibility:

This trimmer is designed for use with Draper 18V Li-ion batteries. The included 2.0Ah battery is suitable for general use, and larger capacity batteries from the Draper 18V range may be compatible for extended runtime (check manufacturer specifications for compatibility).

Care:

Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of lubricating oil to the blades to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
Storage: Store the trimmer in a dry, safe place, away from children. Ensure the blades are protected or covered.
Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place and avoid extreme temperatures. Recharge as needed; do not store for long periods with a fully depleted battery.
