Which oils for trimmers need to be used?

Today there are few people who use the usual scythe on their home plot. This "grandfather" method is practically not found. And many already have no idea how to handle it, sharpen and rivet. With the development of technology, devices called trimmers have appeared.

What are the trim tabs?

There are two main types of such devices. It's petrol and electric. From the title it is clear that their main difference is the power source. Each type has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of gasoline is the lack of a power cord, which does not limit the owner in moving around the site during operation. Electric needs a 220 V network for power. There is no way to do without an extension cord, which will constantly interfere and get tangled under your feet.

A modern trimmer that operates on fuel, thanks to the presence of various exchangeable heads from an ordinary braid, has become a means of small mechanization with a multitude of functions. Having installed the appropriate attachment, the owner will not be difficult to form the crown of the bushes on a personal plot of land. In the snowy winter it is possible to use it as a snow plow. The very replacement of the trimmer heads does not take much time and can be made with or without tools.

What oil for trimmer to choose?

When using a device such as a gasoline trimmer, its maintenance is particularly difficult. When it comes time to change the oil, many do not know which oil to fill in the trimmer.

In each individual case, it all depends on the type of trimmer motor. Most of them are two-stroke engines. Similar, only more power, are used in the manufacture of mopeds. Therefore, it is necessary to use oils for trimmers, which are marked with 2T.

In most such kind of devices, oil is poured along with gasoline. Therefore, the owner must always know, using a trimmer, the ratio of gasoline and oil. In most cases, take 20 g of oil per liter of fuel. At the same time, the higher the fuel quality, the lower its consumption.

There are also 4-stroke models of motors for trimmers. In such oils, trimmers are poured into a separate container, which does not cause any particular difficulties. One of the main advantages of these devices is their insignificant noise, which makes it possible to work without headphones. Oils for trimmers with a four-stroke engine are marked with 4T, which necessarily need to pay attention.
