7. Setting up the Trimmer
EN
Important: Before operating this product, read and
understand all the safety instructions listed in this
manual. Ensure that the product is fully assembled and
correctly prepared for use.
7.1 Fuelling the Tool (Fig.8)
This tool is powered by an engine which must be lled
with unleaded fuel mixed with two-stroke oil. Incorrect
mixing of the oil and fuel can result in running problems
or engine failure. Products returned under warranty that
have failed due to a lack of lubricant will be considered a
chargeable repair.
CAUTION! This machine is shipped WITHOUT
fuel. Check the fuel level before EVERY use and
top up as appropriate. NEVER attempt to run the
engine on an empty fuel tank.
Important: This product must be used with high-quality
unleaded fuel ONLY. ALWAYS use automotive petrol and
oil suitable for two-stroke engines.
• Fuel quality degrades rapidly. Avoid storing the fuel
and only mix as required. Using fuel that has
degraded will cause starting/running problems.
1. Open the fuel cap (5).
2. Combine the unleaded fuel and 2-stroke oil to create
a 40:1 mixture using the mixing bottle (33) supplied.
Example: Add 25ml of 2-stroke oil into 1 litre of
unleaded fuel. Shake well to produce a 40:1 mix.
3. Carefully pour the mixture into the fuel tank (6) – taking
care not to spill any of the mix. Keep a cloth to hand to
clean away any residues or spilt fuel.
4. Replace the fuel cap ensuring it is seated correctly
before tightening. If the threads become crossed it
will damage the tank and may result in fuel leaking
out during use.

8.2 General Trimming Techniques
(Fig.14 – Fig.18)
ALWAYS use with the shoulder strap (30) attached and
adjusted to a suitable height.
WARNING! Use of this product can pose a danger
to wildlife. Before using this trimmer, check the
area, particularly long grass and under bushes for
signs of wildlife: if necessary relocate.
• Check with your local authority that no seasonal bans
on hedge cutting are in place.
•  Beware of hidden objects before cutting. Check for
hidden wire fences, power cables or other objects
within the hedge that could be damaged during
operation or cause injury if cut by the blades.
• Remove the blade guards (29) before starting the engine.
• Before using the hedge trimmer, remove any large
branches with a pair of loppers.
• The metal blade is intended for cutting branches up to
9mm. It can also be used to clear scrub, o shoots
around the base of shrubs, brushes and hedges.
• To prolong the life of the blade, avoid contact with
larger branches, roots, stones, walls, fences and
other hard surfaces.
Ground Clearance (Fig.14)
Before all the hedge trimmings fall and obscure
the base of the hedge, clear out any unwanted
new shoots or woody weeds.
Adjust the cutting head.
Move the cutting head in and around the roots,
avoid large diameter limbs, roots and stones.
Vertical Cutting (Fig.15)
Best practice is to cut the front and side of a
hedge rst before the top.
Set the cutting head straight.
Make large sweeping arcs with the cutting edge.
Use both sides of the blade to trim material from
the hedge.
Stand back at regular intervals to check whether
the cut is straight and level.

8. Operating the Hedge Trimmer Attachment
EN
Vertical Cutting at a Distance (Fig.16)
If an obstacle prevents you from standing directly
next to the hedge adjust the cutting head to a
more suitable angle.
Hedge Topping (Above Head Height) (Fig.17)
For safety it is recommended to use a safe
platform to raise yourself level with the hedge.
If not using a platform, set the cutting head at 90°
and twist the shaft to make the cutting edge swing
in an arc across the top of the hedge.
Horizontal Cutting (Shape Top of Hedge) (Fig.18)
Use to shape the top of the hedge.
Set the cutting head straight and tilt the cutting
side of the blade towards the hedge by 0-10°.
Make level arcs so the trimmings fall onto the oor.
DO NOT attempt to cut a hedge higher than chest
height without using a safe platform.
WARNING! DO NOT stretch or overreach when
working on a platform.
When cutting with the blade set straight, tilt the
cutting side of the blades towards the hedge by
approximately 0 - 10°.

9. Operating the Grass Trimmer Attachment
EN
9.1 Operating the Grass Trimmer
(Fig.19 – Fig.21)
ALWAYS use with the shoulder strap (30) attached and
adjusted to a suitable height.
WARNING! Use of this product can pose a
danger to wildlife. Before using this tool, check
the area, particularly long grass and under
bushes for signs of wildlife: if necessary
relocate.
• This trimmer is only suitable for cutting grass. NEVER
use for cutting any other hard plants.
• Important: To prolong the life of the nylon line avoid
contact with trees, stones, walls, fences and other
hard surfaces.
1. Begin cutting at full throttle, hovering the spool
assembly just o the ground while making arc shaped
sweeping actions through the vegetation.
2. Keep the nylon line level with the ground to avoid
scalping the ground surface.
3. When the nylon line is running at speed take care to
avoid plastic items such as garden furniture, owerpots
and other similar items to avoid damage.
• When cutting vegetation, the cutting distance from
the spool head will decrease when the line length is
deteriorating. Before the line disappears inside the
spool housing, strike the cutting head (22.1) while it
is running at speed onto a piece of suitable ground.
This will release a set amount of line from the head.
Any excess line is automatically trimmed as it strikes
the trimming blade (21) on the underneath of the
guard (20).
• If the line breaks and disappears inside the spool
housing it will need to be rewound – refer to
section 10.9.

WARNING! ALWAYS turn o the engine, allow it
to cool and disconnect the spark plug before
maintaining or storing this product. If the
engine must be run for testing, ensure that this
is carried out in a well-ventilated environment
that allows carbon monoxide from the exhaust
to dissipate quickly.
10.1 General Maintenance
• Regularly inspect the conditions of the multi tool:
Check all nuts, screws and bolts are correctly
tightened for safe operation.
Check condition of attachments.
• Clean after every use – wipe over with a damp cloth.
Important: DO NOT use solvents as this may damage
any plastic or uninsulated parts.
• Use ONLY spare parts recommended by Draper Tools.
• Store the tool in a dry and dust-free environment, out
of reach of children.
• Store the tool at temperature between 0–45°C.
• DO NOT store near ammable materials.
10.2 Cleaning the Air Filter (Fig.22)
• A dirty clogged air lter will restrict the air ow and
cause the engine to run rough. It will also increase fuel
consumption and may result in starting issues.
ATTENTION! ALWAYS stop the engine before
removing the air lter.
1. Set the choke lever (3) to the closed position to
prevent any debris entering the carburettor inlet.
2. Turn the air lter cover lock (2) anticlockwise to
release the air lter cover (1).
3. To remove the cover - lift away the bottom rst, then
lift free from the tab at the top.
4. Remove and wash the foam lter (1.1) and cloth lter
pad (1.2) in warm soapy water. DO NOT use solvents.
5. Ensure the lters are 100% dry before retting.
6. Ret the lter cover and insert the lock and secure.
• Replace the lter if it appears worn or damaged.
10.3 Spark Plug Maintenance (Fig.23 – Fig.24)
• Over time the spark plug can become contaminated.
This can adversely aect the running condition of parts
such as the throttle over a prolonged period of time or
too much oil in the fuel mix. This contamination can
cause the engine to run rough, reduce the fuel
consumption and create starting issues.
1. Remove the lead cover (10) from the back of the spark plug.
To avoid damaging the H.T lead do not use any tools.

3. Clean the spark plug and check the electrode gap
(maintain a gap of 0.6 – 0.7mm).
ATTENTION! The spark plug should be replaced
annually during a service or after 60 hours
of use. Replace with an an alternative
compatible resistor type spark plug with the
same heat range.
4. Ensure the spark plug thread is correctly seated
before screwing it clockwise to t.
5. Tighten the spark plug with the spanner supplied
before replacing the H.T lead cover.
• The H.T lead cap rubber surround should be tucked
inside the plastic housing to ensure a good
connection with the spark plug.
10.4 Engine Idle Speed Adjustment (Fig.25)
• The attachments must not operate/rotate with the
engine running at idle. Adjust as necessary.
• Run the engine until warm.
• Then turn the carburettor screw (7.1) anticlockwise to
decrease the engine idle speed.

disconnected.
2. Remove the fuel tank cap (5) slowly and tip the engine
unit backwards to allow the fuel/oil mix to drain into a
suitable container.
WARNING! If the tool has been recently used,
hot steam may vent from the fuel tank outlet.
Take care when removing the fuel cap.
3. Ret the fuel tank cap securely and wipe up any
spillages. Then reconnect the spark plug cover.
10.6 Cleaning the Fuel Filter (Fig.26)
• To ensure the fuel supply remains clean the fuel lter
must be checked and cleaned regularly. The fuel lter
is attached to the pick-up tube inside the fuel tank.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap (5) from the fuel tank.
2. Drain the fuel tank (6) completely.
3. Tilt the engine so that the fuel tank opening is at the
lowest point. Then shake the tank to allow the fuel
lter (6.1) to be reached.
4. Gently pull the lter clear of the tank.
5. Hold the pick-up line , then squeeze the hose clip and
move it away from the lter.
6. While holding the fuel line, pull the clogged lter o
