A neat lawn requires considerable effort and, sadly, time. Fortunately, commercially available tools help to solve this problem. One of the most effective is a trimmer that can quickly mow grass on a lawn, near a fence or under a tree. And, like any device, it needs a systematic change of components. One of the most important for the trimmer is the line, which under rotation and carries a cut of greenery, as the sharpest knife. But what line is better to use for a trimmer - that's what often worries the owners of a useful device.
What to choose a fishing line for trimmer - thickness
Carrying out the main work, fishing line, or cord, must meet certain requirements, namely, to be strong enough, rigid, but, at the same time, flexible.
First of all, when making a choice, pay attention to the thickness of the line for the trimmer. This parameter is usually indicated in the user manual of the device or on the sleeve. Usually a trimmer with a thickness of 1.2 mm to a maximum of 4 mm is used for the trimmer. By the way, at improperly chosen sizes of a line for a trimmer, engine wear is significantly accelerated. If there are no instructions in the instructions to your trimmer, please note that for a powerful gasoline device choose a forest with a diameter of 2 to 4mm. Low-power battery models require a line of up to 2 mm.
Selection of the line for trimmer - material
The most common material for the line is nylon, which is not afraid of engine heating and frequent loads. But if you intend to get rid of coarse weeds, we recommend you buy a reinforced line for a trimmer with reinforced core.
Types of lines for trimmer
Today, the market offers different forms of cross-cutting, each selected for specific purposes. More often than not, users prefer a line with a circular cross-section, which gets rid of fresh grass perfectly. At the same line of this form produces a very strong sound. To remove thick stems of weeds, it is better to purchase a polygonal line - triangle, square, pentagon, etc. Cross-shaped fishing line is ideal if your site is covered with thick grass and small shrubs. Hard grass cuts a cord of a spiral shape well.
As you can see, the choice of line is simple. For example, to clean the site of a young raspberry grass for a gasoline trimmer you will need a line of 4 mm square shape.
