This is probably the most important thing part of the trimer. A good line easily handles any type of grass and shrubs that like to grow in hedges, around buildings and decorative yard elements. A trimmer is an indispensable tool when it comes to mowing tall, old wilted grass, meadows and clearing derelict areas. The thickness of our wires varies from 1,3 to 3,0 mm, 2 mm wire is usually used for simple work, 2,4-3,0 mm wire thickness is recommended for professional use. For small-scale garden work, 15 meters of cleaning will suffice, but if you are a company or a professional gardening master, choose 100-meter-long cleaning wheels that will last for a longer period of time.

Which profile line is better? Which to choose?

The trimmer should be selected according to the thickness of the grass you want to cut and the area of ​​your serviced plot, not exceeding the manufacturer's recommendations.

Round the wire is perfect for everyday lawn mowing work so it is chosen by most users.

Angled a square or pentagonal line can cut branches of thicker grasses, non-woody shrubs, rarely cut tall thick grass such as nettles. They are not for decoration but for cleaning the area.

Star profile harder stumps and small bushes can be cut with a wire, but if there are obstacles on the road e.g. asphalt, pavers, stones this line quickly wears out and becomes less effective.

Twisted the line is more durable and efficient when servicing large areas without stopping intensive cutting, reduces vibration and emits less noise.

Toothed clean sections cut quickly and sharply like a saw, trimmer management will require more strength and endurance but you can not be afraid of abandoned areas and bushes.

Quiet wedge - a round wedge with a thinner cross-section emits less sound, it is relevant in resort settlements, closed private estates where the peace of neighbors is appreciated, working with cordless tools instead of petrol.

When to change the line?

It is necessary to change the line when you see that its length is no longer enough to mow the grass the way you want, less than 10 centimeters protruding from the reel may not be enough to reach hard-to-reach places, and efficiency decreases because the cutting area becomes less and petrol is used as much. It is also not recommended to mow with a long line, as in this case the motor may not have enough power, you will have a harder time controlling the trimmer, you will get tired faster.

When using the trimmer, do not forget safety measures - glasses, gloves, headphones, mesh, broken wire can injure not only you but also the people around you and damage property. Cut carefully, carefully decorate nearby plants, flowers, do not damage the bark of trees.
