Frequently Asked Questions Who is the Cobra LRH26C best suited for? This long reach hedgetrimmer is ideal for homeowners and keen gardeners who have tall, wide, or awkwardly shaped hedges that are difficult to maintain safely with a standard hedgetrimmer. Its extended reach eliminates the need for ladders in most situations, making it a safer choice. What is the benefit of the 135° articulating head? The articulating head allows you to adjust the angle of the cutting blades. This is extremely useful for trimming the flat top of a tall hedge or shaping the sides with precision, all while maintaining a comfortable and safe standing position on the ground. Does this hedgetrimmer come with a harness? Yes, the Cobra LRH26C is supplied with a single shoulder harness. This helps to support the machine’s 7.5kg weight, distributing the load across your body to reduce fatigue and improve control during longer periods of use. What fuel mixture does the 2-stroke engine require? A 2-stroke engine requires a mixture of unleaded petrol and high-quality 2-stroke engine oil. The exact ratio should always be confirmed in the user manual, but it is typically a 40:1 or 50:1 mix. Using the correct fuel-to-oil ratio is critical for the engine’s performance and longevity.
