Reviews of popular garden equipment ~ lawnmowers, trimmers, brushcutters, brushcutters ~ on ARKHENO.COM Tips and solutions to possible problems in operation
Despite the high productivity, mobility and unpretentiousness in work, modern lawn mowers are difficult to attribute to complex devices. Over time, any mechanism undergoes wear, and therefore parts and assemblies require special attention of the owner. One of the elements of the trimmer is a carburetor, designed to form a fuel mixture and its supply to the combustion chamber. Increased consumption with the correct proportions of gasoline and oil or a drop in engine power indicate the need to adjust the carburetor of the gas trimmer.
Trimmer carb setting
The initial step in restoring the correct operation of the fuel system is to clean the air filter.
Screw trimmer carburetor
Experts recommend rinsing it in a solution of water with detergents after every 10-15 hours. Direct adjustment of the trimmer carburetor is carried out by three adjusting screws:
Fuel feed adjustment screw (“L”);
Adjustment screw at high speeds ("H");
The screw responsible for idling the motor (“T” or “AT”).
Adjustment of fuel supply at the minimum turns
Before starting the carburetor adjustment of the gas trimmer, it is necessary to warm the engine to operating temperature.
Fuel Adjustment Screws
To do this, start the engine and at idle let him work 10-15 minutes. At the first stage, with the trimmer working, slowly tighten the screw “L” until the beginning of intermittent operation or until it dies. Next, unscrew the screw by ¼ turn and check the speed of maximum speed. If the lawn mower easily and quickly reaches high speeds, this will be the most economical mode. In most models on the market, the fuel screw “L” is turned clockwise, however, there are trim tabs where the decrease and increase in the mixture flow occurs in the reverse order.
Trimmer idle adjustment
Location of carburetor adjustment screws
The screw "T" ("AT") serves as a limiter of the reciprocating movement of the fuel shutter and when it is twisted, the engine rpm increases, and turning it off leads to a decrease in the crankshaft speed. Professionals advise adjusting the idling screw of the lawn mowers so that the ICE works a little faster at minimum speed, but the head with the fishing line or knife remains motionless. If it is difficult to start the trimmer “cold” after the manipulations, then it is enough to tighten the “T” screw a quarter of a turn and try to start the engine again.
Adjustment of the screw of the maximum turns of a lawn-mowing
After restoring the fuel supply at minimum speed and adjusting the idle speed, it is necessary to check the stability of the mechanism at an increased speed.
Setting at maximum speed
Adjustment of the motor at high speeds is carried out in order to protect against overheating and reduce hand fatigue when pressing the accelerator key. If the internal combustion engine is unstable at maximum speed, then screw “H” must be slowly turned in to ensure smooth and clear operation.
During operation of the lawn mowers, it may be necessary to adjust the fuel feed screw (“L”) for an optimal set of revolutions.
Tips for repairing a gas trimmer carburetor

Regardless of the manufacturer, there is a factory defect of the carburetor parts of the lawn mowers.
Adjusting screw spring
For example, the adjustment procedure described above may not give positive results with an excessively large number of turns at the spring of the mixture feed screw and, as a result, the impossibility of optimally reducing the level of gasoline supplied. To eliminate this, you can independently shorten the spring yourself or purchase a new one in accordance with the instruction manual.
Many owners of lawn mowers when buying oil follow the recommendations indicated there for the preparation of the fuel mixture.
Oil for gas trimmer
So, often the information on mixing gasoline and oil indicated on the bank differs from the instructions in the trimmer’s passport. As a result, a black deposit can quickly form on the spark plug, which leads to a drop in power and an increase in fuel consumption. Therefore, when preparing the working mixture, the recommendations specified in the instruction manual should be followed. In most cases, the proportion for a run-in ICE is 1:25. It is worth noting that many tool owners prefer to cook fuel “by eye”, which will inevitably lead to rapid wear of the piston spit in the event of a decrease in the portion of oil and the formation of soot on the spark plug with an increased amount of lubricating fluid.
The correct tips for setting up the trimmer carburetor correctly performed above will help to avoid not only engine overheating and increased fuel consumption, but also significantly increase the life of other parts and components of the tool. Pay attention to the operation of the lawn mowers in all modes and timely carry out regulated maintenance and repair of the tool.
Lawn mowers, like all gasoline powered tools for the garden, are not difficult to maintain. It is possible and necessary to repair, configure yourself. For example, adjusting the carburetor of the lawn mowers with your own hands is a matter of five minutes.
Lawn mowing carburetor is a unit in the power system. In it, like any carburetors, there is a process of mixing air and fuel (gasoline) for further supply to the engine cylinders.
The main problems and malfunctions of the carburetor.
Strainer There are only two problems with this element:
Clogging.
Breakage
In order to find out the cause of the breakdown, the fuel filter cover is unscrewed to remove the strainer. If dirt has simply accumulated on it, washing with gasoline or blowing will help.
With visible damage to the strainer, it is imperative to install a new one. There may also be damage on the fuel supply pipe (during repair, check this element).
The carburetor starter in most cases does not function due to blockages. Use acetone or the same gasoline for flushing.
Blowing off carburetor parts with a blockage of compressed air is an acceptable and convenient repair practice.
The device of the carburetor lawn mowers
The basis of the carburetor of the lawn mowers is an aluminum case. It has a diffuser (hole with internal contours). Air is blown through this hole. The oxygen (air) flow rate depends on the cross-section (passage opening) of the diffuser.
The diffuser is equipped with fuel channels. Of these, fuel is drawn in using an air stream.
Outside the carburetor is installed:
Fuel pump;
Jet system;
Fuel / air mixture control system;
The principle of the carburetor lawn mowers
The throttle valve determines the amount of air for supply, and engine power directly depends on this.
Fuel is sucked into the carburetor system by a pump (its membrane). Then it passes through the fitting in the carburetor. Further, the fluid moves through the inlet and outlet valves of the pump. Filtered by mesh. The needle valve moves into the membrane chamber.
Phased operation of the device:
Air supply to the tube with an air baffle (damper). The partition controls the intensity of the air flow.
The fuel supply system must be narrowed by a diffuser to increase the flow rate.
Gasoline through the float chamber and nozzle tube with narrowing. A camera with a float adjusts the temporary volume of gasoline. In the float chamber, the pressure level is neutral, and in the tube with narrowing is already low. Due to the pressure drop, fuel enters through the nozzle.
The acceleration of the air flow contributes to the transfer of fuel (gasoline) and its atomization. As a result, an air-fuel mixture of the necessary proportion or density is formed.
The air-fuel mixture enters the engine cylinder through the fuel pipe.
It is not necessary to purchase an expensive and bulky lawn mower to cut grass on a small lawn; it can easily be replaced with a gasoline / electric trimmer. The device of these machines is quite simple, they are convenient to use and unpretentious in maintenance. But sometimes problems do occur. One of them – when the trimmer does not develop the maximum number of revolutions – will be discussed in this article.
Causes
Trimmers are reliable and durable (of course, subject to proper care). Most often, malfunctions arise due to contamination of structural elements.
If the engine of your lawn mowing does not start, does not gain momentum, does not reach the power you need, or suddenly stalls, the cause may be:
Low-quality fuel (fuel mixture), it may be in long-term storage or in non-compliance with the formulation of the mixture;
Grass wound on the shaft of the fishing line / knife head;
Clogged air filter / muffler;
Imbalance carburetor.
Troubleshooting Methods
The first three reasons are pretty easy to eliminate. If the matter is in the mixture, it is necessary to pour the old fuel from the tank, prepare a new emulsion from high-quality gasoline and engine oil (if your engine needs a mixture) and pour it into the fuel tank. If the trimmer runs on clean gas, it’s still easier.
In the second case, it is necessary to carefully release the trimmer parts from the wound grass.
The last reason why the lawn mow is not working properly will require a little more knowledge and skills from you.
To correctly adjust the carburetor lawn mowers, you must follow a certain procedure. First clean the air filter thoroughly. It is easiest to rinse it (it is advisable to flush the filter with water regularly after 9-10 hours of operation).
After that, in the scheme of your trimmer, which is in the instruction manual of the device, find the adjustment screws. Usually there are three of them: the first is responsible for supplying fuel, the second for idling, well, and the third is designed to limit the number of maximum engine speeds.
Next, turn on the unit and wait for the engine to warm up.
Slowly tighten the first adjusting screw (fuel mixture supply). Catch the moment when the motor starts to stall, and turn the screw in the opposite direction by 45 degrees. If you do not have time and the motor stalls, you should turn the screw 90 degrees. Open the throttle and see how the speed increases. Next, you should slowly unscrew the screw (each turn is the same 45 degrees) until the moment when at full throttle the motor begins to firmly produce a maximum of revolutions.
The second screw, as mentioned above, controls the engine idle speed. By weakening it, you reduce the number of revolutions, twisting – increase. The screw must be adjusted so as to ensure reliable motor operation at low speeds. For a better start, speed up the engine a little. At the same time, make sure that the motor makes several dozen revolutions before the movement of knives / reel with fishing line. If the engine starts poorly, tighten the screw a little.
After you have adjusted the first two screws, test the operation of the device at maximum engine speed. If necessary, you can limit it (maximum) – this will protect the motor from "boiling". To do this, you need to tackle the third screw. Loosen the lock nut until the adjusting screw can be easily turned. To increase the maximum number of revolutions, the screw must be loosened, to reduce – on the contrary, tighten. Lock the position of the screw with a nut. Test the motor again.
Remember that carb adjustment is not the final procedure. During the operation of the lawn mowers, you most likely will have to bother with it more than once, because an unbalanced carburetor means both increased fuel consumption and quick failure of candles, not to mention a decrease in the power and performance of the device.
Little tricks
If you are unable to tighten / loosen the adjusting screws normally, it may be because the spring is too thick and stiff. Then you can choose a more suitable one instead.
If your unit does not need pure gasoline, but a mixture of it with engine oil, strictly observe the proportions indicated in the operating instructions. There is one trifle: the recommended ratio is 1: 25 (for all brands of oil) or 1: 50 (for “native” oils). Try the first ratio first. If with this recipe oil leaks appear on the motor, and a strong deposit forms on the candle, halve the proportion of oil. Usually this contributes to the disappearance of traces and reduce the amount of soot.
To clean the electrodes of the candle from combustion products, you can use a fine-grained "sandpaper". Wipe them with a dry cloth first and then gently scrub them with sandpaper. If the space between the device’s body and the insulator is also clogged, a plain, unclipped paper clip will help clean it. To do this, soak the candle for a short time in diesel fuel, and then scrape off the dirt. If the blockage is small, one procedure is enough. With severe contamination, sometimes you have to repeat it several times. After thorough cleaning, the candle must be wiped dry from the remains of diesel fuel, and then it can be used for its intended purpose.
Please note that a lawn mowing machine (gasoline, electric or battery) of foreign production requires a little more care than domestic ones. In particular, many people insistently recommend entrusting professionals with adjusting the carburetor of a two-stroke engine, especially if your warranty has not expired.
And finally, one more tip: follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations on the operation and maintenance of the device. So you extend its trouble-free operation.
What to do if the gas trimmer is not gaining momentum, you will learn further.
Any person who owns a cottage or land is well aware of the problems of combating excess vegetation. Now a trimmer has come to the rescue, which has successfully replaced the usual braid in this field. This unit is very convenient to use, but it, like any mechanism, tends to fail due to difficult working conditions or incorrect operation. Situations are quite common when the trimmer does not gain momentum. To understand this problem, you need to understand some aspects related to the operation of the device.

Features of the trimmer
All trimmers are classified by type of power: gasoline or electricity (from the mains or battery). It should be noted that gas mowers in many respects surpass their electric and battery counterparts. Despite the fact that they all perform similar functions, the difference in performance, maneuverability and efficiency is very noticeable. However, the general principle of operation of all types of hand-held mowers is almost the same – the devices are equipped with engines (two- or four-stroke ICEs or electric motors) that drive the cutting unit (reel with fishing line or metal disk). All elements are fixed on a straight or curved rod, including a handle for controlling the trimmer, on which the main buttons are located.
Since the problem of low revs is more characteristic of the gasoline versions of trimmers, more attention will be paid to them. So, the lawn mowing is very comfortable in operation and unpretentious in maintenance. Moreover, most of its malfunctions are caused by the user’s ignorance of the elementary things that are described in the instructions. Therefore, before starting operation of the unit, it is necessary to carefully study the manufacturer’s manual. In particular, in order to start the engine, it is necessary to do the following sequential actions:
Turn on the ignition button;
Press the silicone button several times to pump gasoline;
Close the air damper;
Set the throttle lever to high revs;
First make slight jerks with the starter handle to feel the resistance of the engine, then sharply yank.
If the lawn mowing is started, but stalled, you need to put the air damper in the middle position and try again. When the engine is working, you need to slow down the gas and open the air damper, since the trimmer only works on the suction.
Causes of weak trimmer revs
If users complain about a trimmer that is not gaining momentum, this means that at idle it works fine, and when you press the gas it does not develop the necessary power. This can happen as a result. Long downtime of the device without activity. These problems are typical for gasoline vehicles, including Husqvarna 128r, Stihl FS 38 and Hitachi of various modifications.
When working with the trimmer, you need to monitor its behavior all the time – a drop in speed and unusual noise signal a malfunction in the unit. Sometimes you give gas, and the trimmer floats. In such cases, work immediately needs to be suspended, allowed to cool down and proceed with the search for possible problems. They can be of a different nature, both the technological plan, and external factors associated with the conditions and features of the operation of the device.
External factors
Several factors that are not related to its breakdown have an effect on reducing the speed of lawn mowing:
The filter is dirty due to the ingress of particles of dirt and dust;
Use of low-quality fuel;
Improperly prepared mixture (relevant for trimmers with two-stroke gasoline engines);
Pollution of the silencer mesh by vegetation particles, soil elements and other objects.
Moreover, in the second and third cases, carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, and elements of the carburetor become clogged.
Technical issues
Technical problems of lawn mowers mainly occur in the fuel supply and ignition systems. You can deal with them yourself.
When the hand mower does not start or stalls, the problem may be with the candle. Dark soot indicates poor carb adjustment and low gasoline quality.
A clogged fuel hose may cause a trimmer to malfunction. Filters are also often clogged.
Another internal problem – the muffler is covered with soot. This greatly reduces the speed of the trimmer. Exit – you need to clean the muffler.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting of petrol engines
Before proceeding with the repair of a particular unit (part), it is necessary to determine the nature of the malfunction. Step-by-step diagnostics and troubleshooting – further.
Carburetor
This mechanism is an important component of the gas trimmer. In order for the carburetor to work properly, several conditions must be observed:
Disassemble and clean it at times;
Adjust the idle speed according to the instructions;
Refer to the wizard for help with adjustment.
In the event of a breakdown of this unit, it is possible to repair it yourself, but only if you have certain knowledge.
One of the reasons for carb carb malfunctioning is relaxed cable. To fix the problem, you first need to disassemble the entire assembly, and then, thoroughly rinsing all the parts, grease and tighten the cable, but not very much so as not to stretch.
Candle
In case of problems with a candle, sometimes it is enough to dry it or sand it with sandpaper and put it back in place, setting the gap correctly – it should be 1 mm. If the candle is very covered with soot, it is better to replace it with a new one. With the optimal operating mode of the trimmer, the candles do not so often fail.
Filters
Clogging air filter ─ Another reason for the unreliable operation of the device. To check the involvement of this element in the malfunction, you need to start a lawn mowing without it. A dirty filter can be washed in gasoline, dried or replaced with a new one.
Clogged fuel filter does not pass fuel into the cylinder, and the engine stalls at full throttle due to an elementary lack of gasoline. This element is located inside the tank on the intake hose. To fix the problem, instead of the old filter, put on a new hose or rinse thoroughly the one that was removed.
Motor
The engine is the most important part of any unit. The causes of engine failure are several:
Incorrect proportions of oil with fuel (for push-pull);
Old fuel mixture;
Wear and destruction of the piston ring;
Traces of scratches on the cylinder and piston;
Operation of the device for wear.
All this leads to the fact that the engine either does not start or stalls.
Fuel system
For the trouble-free operation of the gas trimmer, the functioning of the fuel system is of great importance. Gasoline passes through all its components and parts, so they should be cleaned regularly. In addition, only high-quality fuel must be used. For the preparation of a combustible mixture in a two-stroke engine, motor automotive oil cannot be used, since it has insufficient qualities.
Diagnosis and troubleshooting of electric motors
Trimmer failures can be as follows:
Insulation failure or cable breakage;
Malfunctions in the area of the cutting tool;
Damage to the socket or plug.
To deal with these breakdowns, you do not need to disassemble the entire device.
With serious engine trouble will have to disassemble it. To do this, unscrew a few screws. Having access to the details of the motor, you need to carry out such actions:
Check the degree of wear of the brushes – unsuitable parts will need to be replaced with new ones;
Ring the motor winding – the resistance should be high;
Check the stator and rotor – to test the rotor winding with a multimeter, measure the resistance: large deviations from the norm indicate a malfunction, the absence of resistance on the stator winding also indicates a breakdown (the stator case is diagnosed in the same way).
Problems with low revs are common for cheap trimmers. However, with improper maintenance, manual mowers such as Huter, Patriot 3055, and Echo also suffer from this.
When to contact the workshop
If the device is under warranty, at the first sign of malfunctioning, it can be safely taken to a specialized workshop. Repair will be done free of charge, regardless of the nature of the damage, if it happened through no fault of the owner. In the event of engine breakdowns, it is better for a person who is not knowledgeable in technology to contact a specialist immediately. In any case, the severity of problems with the unit is determined by the user.
Summarize. Both gasoline and electric trimmers are designed for many years of reliable operation. Most of the problems described above are due to the lack of attention of the owner to his assistant. Subject to strict adherence to requirements from the manufacturer and regular maintenance, the hand mower will operate rhythmically and without interruption.
The unstable operation of the engine causes a desire to identify the reasons why the engine is not gaining momentum, or does not develop sufficient traction, and what causes breakdowns. Imagine, you press the gas pedal, and the engine simply “refuses” to obey the command, and there is no increase in speed.
Or the engine is gaining momentum until a certain point, and then as if something is holding it, but the power does not develop. The task of diagnosing this phenomenon is quite complex, which can be caused by many factors.
One of the common reasons that the engine cannot gain speed and develop enough power is a fuel system malfunction. For all types of engines, regardless of the type of fuel, the fuel system should be checked for operability in the first place, and especially the technical condition of the fuel pump.
It is a faulty fuel pump that makes the engine “starve”, hence its very sluggish work. As for diesel engines, here first of all you need to check the nozzles and plunger pairs of the fuel pump, the malfunction of which leads to the fact that the engine loses its power, and often refuses to start.
Problems with the electrical part
The reasons why the engine is not gaining momentum can also lie in various defects in the fuel system, which lead to the fact that air leaks through the depressurized areas (hose breakdowns, leaking washers), which is extremely detrimental to the operation of the fuel system. It is also worth checking the filters of the fuel system, since dirty and clogged filter elements lead to the fact that the motor power does not develop.
On injection engines, it is necessary to determine how the marks of the gas distribution mechanism are set, since the moment of ignition and injection of the fuel mixture depends on this. You also need to check the timing belt tension, as well as the correctness of its installation, since its improper landing and installation of teeth can also affect the development of the power of the car engine itself.
After checking the fuel system, the engine ignition system follows. The first step is to check the condition of the spark plugs, especially their tips. Pay attention to the candle insulators: if they have brown longitudinal deposits, they must be replaced immediately. If the tips are in tan, then it must be removed and cleaned.
For this purpose You can use coarse sandpaper. Now you need to carefully examine the condition of the distributor and high-voltage wires. Then it will be necessary to make measurements of the wires so that one of them does not possess too much resistance, or so that there is no break in it.
A ballast block may malfunction and may also cause the problem in question. To find it, raise the hood and under the windshield it is easy to see the ribbed block. This is ballast resistance.
Other reasons
Another reason why the engine does not develop power is the suction of air into the cylinders, on the way after the DMRV. Air flow sensor. The fact is that the DMRV provides information to the computer of the machine about how much air has entered the cylinders, and he, in turn, calculates the composition of the fuel mixture. And since the information is unreliable due to excess air, the mixture is also depleted, which leads to reduced engine thrust.
Replacing this clogged air filter, which must be changed once every six months, will also help solve this problem. The fact is that because of the dirt in the filter, it is difficult to supply air masses, as a result of which the engine is barely gaining momentum and develops very little power.
It will not be superfluous to see on the color of the exhaust: if they are black, the check valve may be disrupted.
One of the possible reasons for the failure of the engine and the impossibility of its development of the necessary power can be a banal breakdown of the car computer. If so, then try to unscrew the nozzles, and you will see how large amounts of gas are pouring from the injector. At the same time, such a breakdown can only be eliminated by replacing the on-board computer.
Considering the reasons why the engine is not gaining momentum, let us pay attention to another important aspect. The operation of the catalyst, which is often clogged. To check it, we unscrew the spark plug, then we start the engine and make several sharp presses on the gas pedal.
If there is a sharp increase in power and the engine picks up speed very quickly, then the hitch lies in it. In this case, it will need to be replaced.
It is inherent in man to ennoble the place in which he spends the lion’s share of his own time. Why the Chinese lawn mower does not develop revolutions?

About the manufacturer
The history of this German brand begins in 1926. At the initial steps of its own development, the company was engaged in the production and sale of various devices for washing and steam engines. It all began, like many companies, with small production and a narrow focus, which made it possible to focus on the quality of the products.
In the early 30s, the first STIHL chainsaw was released, which was distinguished by its convenience and functionality in those days. The company is developing at a rapid pace, constantly introducing new tools, which gives it the opportunity to enter the international market. Lawn mowers Stihl And already in 1931 the first permanent supply of products to Russia was organized.
Device Stihl
At the moment, the company has launched its activities in more than 160 countries, opening new centers and production offices in Switzerland, China and many other countries. This is fully explainable, because the company’s assortment is impressive: motor drills, gas sprayers, mowers, gas trimmers, chainsaws and almost everything else. I would like to note that Shtil chainsaws are very popular due to their own functionality and applicable cost.
Lawn mowing stalls
When purchasing a lawn mower, you must be prepared for the fact that, like in all other similar tools, breakdowns may also appear in it, which will require repair.
But you should not immediately run to the service center and pay large sums to the craftsmen, convincing you of a severe malfunction in the device.
Lawn mowing stalls at high revs on gas
Perhaps the more common complaint related to gas trimmers is: “lawn mowing stalls. "
Naturally, a rather severe malfunction can also be a prerequisite for this. The two-stroke trimmer engine does not develop revolutions stalls. Lawn mowing fs 130 give the gas stalls. But in most cases the situation is even simpler than it seems at first glance.
To cope with such a problem, first, try to understand its causes without the help of others, because after finding out the reason, it is even easier to fight the problem, and from time to time it will even self-destruct.
In fact, the circumstances, this is when the lawn mower stalls at high speeds, there are quite a few of these circumstances.

Some tricks of working with a petrol trimmer
The summer season has come, and lawn mowers have habitually rattled out on personal plots. Great tool, powerful and mobile. With the help of a gas trimmer, you can also cut the grass and get rid of dried weeds. However, there are cases that the lawn mowing does not start, works intermittently or without developing full power. There is certainly no time for work! And as they say, you pull the starter handle more than mow.
Difficulties with launching arise not only in experienced lawn mowers, but also in new ones. How to be in this situation? There is only one way out – to heed the advice of experts and take advantage of their practical experience!
FS 38
The model is primarily distinguished by its simplicity and compactness, which is enough for proper care of the adjacent area. The main control keys are located on the handle of the device, which greatly facilitates and speeds up the work.
The price for the Stihl FS 38 is about $ 130.
Engine power – 0.9 hp;
Engine displacement – 27.2 cm3;
Tank volume – 0.33 l;
Engine type – two stroke;
Barbell – straight;
Handle – D-shaped;
Equipment – 2-tooth trimmer blade for grass, glasses for protection, belt;
Weight – 4.1 kg.
Stihl fs 38
This model is one of the most popular on the market! You will find out about all the units that are included in the rating of the best lawn mowers here.
You bought yourself a new gas trimmer and you immediately got into trouble. Very bad start. If you mow a little and then turn it off, then turning it “on hot” is an even bigger problem than “on cold”. What to do with it, I won’t know how to start it right?
The instructions for the lawn mowing plant are as follows:
1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Pump fuel with a silicone button (primer) located at the bottom of the carburetor. It is necessary to do as many clicks (or a little more) as written in the instructions, usually around 8-10.

3. Close the choke.
4. Secure the throttle lever with the stop button at higher speeds.
5. Pull the starter handle 2-3 times. The engine should "grab."
If the engine "grabbed" and stalled, then you need to turn the choke to position 1/2 and try to start again. If the engine starts, then we dump the gas and put the air damper in the "open" position. Getting started.
Carrying out fuel pumping manipulations, one should not be afraid to overfill it. If this happened, and, as they say, “they filled the candle”, then you do not need to unscrew it, just turn the air damper to the “open” position and, while holding full throttle, simultaneously crank the engine with a 2-4 times starter. After that, you can start the engine and get to work.
FS 70
She is more advanced model, characterized by higher power and multitasking. An anti-vibration system is provided, which can significantly reduce the impact of a running engine on the handle.
The time for continuous operation of the lawn mowers is indicated in the trimmer instructions. On average, we mow for 15-20 minutes, after which we muffle the trimmer and let it cool for 3-5 minutes. Also, the duration of continuous operation is provided by weather conditions. In hot weather, when mowing tall grass, weeds, under heavy load, the trimmer overheats faster.
Many problems with lawn mowing are due to improperly prepared fuel mixture. In two-stroke engines, lubrication is done with special oil (not ordinary motor oil!) Mixed with gasoline. If the oil is not mixed with gasoline, then the lawn mower will quickly fail. Oil / gasoline is mixed in the proportion indicated in the trimmer instructions. This is usually 1:40 or 1:50.
The question often arises: the proportion of 1:50 is how much oil and gasoline?
The numbers mean the following: fifty parts of gasoline are taken per part of the oil. Hence: 1000 ml (1 liter of gasoline) is divided by 50, we get 20 ml, i.E. 1:50.
Thus, the composition of the fuel mixture (gasoline / oil) in any proportions can be calculated. To add oil to gasoline not “by eye”, it is advisable to take a 20 ml medical syringe, draw oil into it and “inject” into the tank to prepare the fuel mixture.

What to do if the petrol trimmer is not gaining momentum?
If you have ever purchased a trimmer that works with gasoline, then you probably had to deal with the problem of turning on the trimmer, as well as with such a problem as a gas trimmer does not gain revolutions.
That is why this article was created.
So what to do if the trimmer that has been working for you for several years now suddenly just stops gaining momentum and the motor simply stalls? In this case, you and I should consider a number of problems associated with stopping the motor.
The motor may stall under various circumstances. Why lawn mowing revs. I can’t get it off the ground. And it’s gaining momentum from the floor. Sometimes the cause of incorrect operation of the trimmer running on gas is the clogging of the air filter.
This filter is one of the main reasons why the gas trimmer may stop working.
Different rubbish very often gets into it, dust particles get there, which also clog the filter, so it needs to be cleaned and washed every month, and maybe more often, it all depends on how much power the gas trimmer has, and also how much Often you use this device.
For the period of engine break-in (this is approximately the work of the trimmer on 2-3 tanks), the amount of oil can be increased. For example, mix it with gasoline in a ratio of 30: 1.
A small amount of oil mixed with gasoline leads to increased wear of the piston-cylinder group. An excess of oil in the mixture is not so fatal, but also harmful. Coking of the piston rings, rapid formation of soot in the combustion chamber, and a drop in engine power can occur. In addition, the coke screen of the muffler is coked. Therefore, some users (after the end of the warranty period for the trimmer) recommend dismantling it.
The gasoline used in the lawn mowing machine is AI 92. The brand of gasoline is precisely prescribed in the operating instructions. Do not try to “force” the engine by pouring 95th gasoline into it. This can lead to overheating, unstable operation of the trimmer and breakage.
It is not recommended to leave fuel in the trimmer tank during a long break in work. It is better to finish the working day, having fully worked out the whole mixture. If this is not done, then, because during the night the gas from the engine evaporates, and a thin film of oil remains, the carburetor jets may become clogged. This will cause difficulties the next time you start the engine.
It is also necessary to observe safety precautions when storing fuel. Many pour gasoline into a plastic water bottle. Is it worth it?
FS 130
The model belongs to professional models, so the goals set before it will be slightly higher. It is designed for mowing rough grass, harvesting hard shrubs and young trees.
It provides the latest engine of high power, not emitting a large amount of harmful emissions.
The price for the Stihl FS 130 is about $ 400.
Engine power – 1.9 hp;
Engine displacement – 36.3 cm3;
Tank volume – 0.53 l;
Barbell – straight;
Handle – T-shaped;
Complete set – shoulder strap, two-blade knife;
Diameter of fishing line – 2.4 mm;
Weight – 5.9 kg.
The spread in prices for these models does not mean any difference in quality, first of all, Each Stihl mower is designed for a specific type of work.
It is clear that there is no point in acquiring a more expensive and powerful model if you have a small plot or lawn in front of the house. Simpler models will perfectly cope with this task, but the word “simplicity” is not used in a derogatory form here. More powerful mowers are designed to handle large areas with overgrown and thick surfaces, hence the difference in price. If you are confused in such a variety of tools, then do not be upset, but feel free to click here and we will tell you how to choose a lawn mower for a summer residence.
Characteristics of the model in the video.
However, no matter which model you choose, you must follow certain operating rules recommended by the manufacturer in order to avoid possible breakdowns.
Lawn mowing not develops momentum.One more cause
Chinese lawn mowing Husqvarna analogue reason does not develop turned out to be very simple (see video)
If you have done the filter operations, but the operation of the gas trimmer has remained the same, the gas trimmer is not gaining momentum, what should I do?
Then you should try to remove the filter from the device in order to provide the so-called “relief” of the trimmer. Why the Chinese lawn mowing does not develop momentum, the reason is Husqvarna. Should help.
The next and quite common problem when working with a gas trimmer is that it simply stalls and does not give any signs of life.
In this case, the problem may be as follows:
The last and most common reason for the breakdown of the gas trimmer is that the cable, which is located in the carburetor section, simply slept.
Therefore, make sure in advance that it is well tensioned, but not to the limit, otherwise if the load on the gas trimmer is too heavy, this small cable may crack and then you will definitely have to contact the service center, and then also throw a lot of money down the drain.
In no case should gasoline be stored in plastic containers from under water. When mixing the fuel mixture, a static charge builds up, you can catch a spark.
Therefore, at gas stations they are not allowed to refuel gasoline in plastic cans, only in metal ones. Before pouring gasoline into a metal canister, it is better to put it on the ground, so the static is removed from the body.
But there are situations when simple manipulations with the lawn mowing do not help. The engine still does not start. In this case, we check the power supply and ignition system, guided by the rule "the engine does not work if there is nothing to burn or nothing to set on fire."
Recommendations for use
It is necessary to take temporary breaks in work. Lawn mowing does not develop speed Diagnostics and trimmer mowing stalls at. This is necessary so that the engine of the device does not overheat and does not fail prematurely. Lawn mowing does not develop Dismantling a chainsaw Stihl 180 Stihl FS 55 is not gaining momentum? Yes. For amateur models, a break is provided every 20 minutes for the same time. For professional mowers, interrupt work every 50 minutes, in which case the downtime should be at least 10 minutes.
It is necessary to monitor the condition of the fuel tank. If you do not plan to use the mower for a certain time, it is better to drain the remaining fuel from the tank compartment. This will help prevent damage to engine parts.
Terms of use
Gas trimmer loves cleanliness. It is necessary to monitor the cleanliness of the air filter and fuel. It is better to stand for gasoline purchased at a gas station for 2 days and pass it through the simplest filter – a piece of bike stuff.
We check the electrical equipment as follows:
1. Unscrew the candle, inspect the gap between the electrodes. We set the correct gap between the electrodes in the "grandfather" way. We take a razor blade, scrap it in half and insert a home-made probe between the electrodes. If the blades fit tightly, then the gap is ideal.
2. We put a cap of a high-voltage wire on the candle and lean the candle against the metal surface of the engine. We pull the starter several times. If the spark strikes well at one point, then the gap is adjusted correctly. If not, the spark is weak or “wandering”, then it is necessary to re-adjust the gap between the electrodes.
Also in electrical equipment, an ignition coil may be punched. In this case, the lawn mowing does not start or starts and works intermittently, and then stalls, or does not start up to the “hot” one at all.
You can check the serviceability of the coil in the same way as when checking the spark: unscrew the candle, lean it against the body of the trimmer. If there is no spark when the starter is jerked, or it appears every other time, the coil must be changed.
If everything is in order with the electrical equipment, then we check the carburetor.
Vacuum carburetors are placed on trimmers. When disassembling, cleaning or rinsing, you must be extremely careful – in no case do not disassemble the lower part of the carburetor, where the primer is located. The air filter (it is visible if the protective cover is removed from the carburetor) must be washed with detergents. Best for washing dishes. After drying, put back. We wash the carburetor with clean gasoline and purge all the holes with a pump. The gas line filter is also washed, then everything is dried and collected. Usually, after all the manipulations, the trimmer starts to work.
Thin cable instead of fishing line, is it worth it to put on a lawn mower?
This idea comes to the mind of almost everyone who had to mow 10 acres overgrown with tall grass. At first glance, the idea seems good. The cable is stronger than the fishing line, it does not wear out so much. However, not all so simple.
If you put the cable in place of the fishing line, without the possibility of its release, reliably fixing the two ends of the cable and cutting them off by welding (a drop of molten metal keeps the cable from opening). Such a tool "knocks" the grass at a time. Cutting off the shoot to about a finger thick. Stones are not as afraid as a disc. There is a truth, a problem: pieces of wire rope break off during wear, and these twisted wires remain in place of mowing. If you step on them, you can get hurt.
But the pieces of cable left on the field are half the trouble. The fishing line, breaking off, weakens dynamic impacts on the transmission and engine, the cable does not give such an opportunity. The result is a quick wear of the lawn mowers.
Any braid has a knife on the protective cover that cuts off excess fishing line after winding, and the cable can no longer be cut. If part of the cable breaks off, then the result is an imbalance, increased vibration. Bottom line: the shaft drive bearings are broken.
You also need to remember that a piece of cable unwound by centrifugal force during rotation of the trimmer head flies like a bullet. Imagine what will happen if he gets in the leg or someone in the eye?
The use of a cable, wire, multi-core cable instead of fishing line leads to a quick breakdown of the trimmer. In addition, this is a direct violation of safety precautions!
Experienced users recommend buying a fishing line with an asterisk profile. Compared with a round one, it mows much better; stems with a finger thickness of a fishing line with a diameter of 3 mm cut into a light, and less is consumed.
Reasons and Repair
I want to share my experience in restoring the required power of a trimmer with a gasoline engine.
One day in early June, I began to notice that my trimmer model GT22GES (manufacturer "ECHO") began to lose its former power.
In the process of work when mowing grass, even with a slight increase in load (grass is taller and denser), the speed fell and the work efficiency was no longer the same as it was before.
Before the trimmer did not notice such obstacles at all. With a sharp click on the "trigger" without load, the speed increased slowly, as if reluctantly.
I took the user manual for the trimmer, found in it the section "Faults and their elimination." I chose a suitable fault in the table, which is described something like this: “The engine is not accelerating well or decays.”
Possible causes include contamination of the air filter, fuel filter, clogged fuel tank drainage hole, spark plug, carburetor, clogged cooling system, clogged exhaust channel or muffler.
As it turned out, the list of possible reasons is extensive – where to start?
At first I looked visually at the air filter, drainage hole, air radiator, all this turned out to be in a normal condition.
Then he decided to look from the end of the list, that is, check the exhaust system – the exhaust channel and the muffler.
To do this, removed the spark plug tip, unscrewed 3 screws and removed the plastic muffler protective cover (in the drawing in the Manual under No. 15). Then, unscrewing the two long screws, carefully removed the muffler, so as not to damage the two gaskets that are present there.
Premonition did not deceive me. The exhaust channel of the engine cylinder (through which exhaust gases exit the cylinder) was 30 to 40 percent clogged with soot.
So that was the cause of my trimmer’s frustration!
It looks like the exhaust channel
Carefully, so as not to damage the piston surface and to prevent foreign products (in other words, the very soot) getting into the cylinder, I completely cleaned the exhaust channel of soot, carefully blew the channel with a pump.
I used a knife as a tool (but only at the edge of the canal), and in the depth of the canal I used a wooden and plastic spatula of suitable sizes.
The silencer turned out to be pretty clean both inside and out.
After the assembly, I started the trimmer, warmed it up a bit and tried to mow – the engine worked like new, the power increased noticeably, it didn’t mow the grass, but cut it (3 mm fishing line).
It’s nice that the device began to work perfectly and doubly pleased that he himself was able to find the malfunction and fix it.
It is likely that such a problem can occur in other models of trimmers, because the design for them is approximately the same for all and all trimmers have an exhaust channel and a silencer.
Why do the revs fall on the trimmer
This common problem has a number of different causes. During operation with the device, one may encounter both obvious malfunctions, the signs of which are clearly traceable, and asymptomatic cases. The first option is the simplest from the point of search for the problem. If the trimmer is not gaining momentum and there are no clear signs of damage, then you will need to consistently check the most typical cases of malfunctions, and if a cause is found, eliminate it.
Possible causes of malfunctions in electric braids
When operating the trimmer, on which the electric motor is installed, problems also arise with a set of revolutions. But they are caused by completely different problems, compared to fuel braids. The electric motor does not develop the required rotation speed in such cases:
If the voltage acting in the supply network is lower than the rated value for the electric motor by more than 10%;
In case of malfunctions in the soft start system (if this unit is installed);
When there are problems with the brush assembly;
Electric brush assembly
In case of burning motor windings;
If jamming of the rotating parts occurs.
To eliminate the voltage problem, you need to use a multimeter or tester to check its value in the outlet from which the power of the electric braid is taken. If it is less than the minimum acceptable value, then to increase it, you will need to turn off all electrical appliances or install a stabilizer.
A prerequisite necessary for the normal operation of the trimmer is the use of an extension cord with a cross-section of conductors corresponding to the power of the engine of the braid.
To repair the soft starter, you will need to have the appropriate knowledge of electronics, so it is better to contact a service center. They will determine its maintainability or the need for replacement. You can independently check the button or find the block diagram and try to figure it out.
Soft starter
The brushes can wear out, as a result, the contact will disappear, which leads to motor stops. Brushes are easy to replace. Features of the process are determined by the applicable lawn mowing model. Along the way, you will also need to clean all contact surfaces.
If the windings burn out, if you continue to mow grass or shrubs, the electric motor will quickly burn out. This will be accompanied by the appearance of a burning smell, up to the melting of individual parts. You will need to replace the electric motor.
The wedging of the rotating parts occurs for various reasons. To identify and eliminate them, you will need to sort out the drive unit. There are models in which the number of revolutions is automatically adjusted depending on the load, increasing as it increases – their idle speed decreases.
The video shows an algorithm of actions to identify the most common causes for which the trimmer does not gain the required speed:
Conclusion
The market has a wide selection of trimmers from various manufacturers. They are characterized by common reasons why the momentum is falling. Also, each unit is equipped with an instruction manual. In it, the corresponding section contains the necessary recommendations on this issue regarding the model used.
If in the process of self-troubleshooting a positive result was not achieved, it is better to seek the help of specialists. Also, professionals should be involved in solving the problem in the absence of minimum experience and skills in such a case, so as not to harm. The most difficult unit is the engine. Only experienced craftsmen are allowed to work with it. When the lawn mower is under warranty service, the best option is to contact a service center where they will carry out diagnostics and repair of the equipment.

Lawn mowing stalls
When purchasing a lawn mower, you must be prepared for the fact that, like in all other similar tools, breakdowns may also appear in it, which will require repair.
But you should not immediately run to the service center and pay large sums to the craftsmen, convincing you of a severe malfunction in the device.
Lawn mowing stalls at high revs on gas
Perhaps the more common complaint related to gas trimmers is: “lawn mowing stalls. "
Naturally, a rather severe malfunction can also be a prerequisite for this. The two-stroke trimmer engine does not develop revolutions stalls. Lawn mowing fs 130 give the gas stalls. But in most cases the situation is even simpler than it seems at first glance.
To cope with such a problem, first, try to understand its causes without the help of others, because after finding out the reason, it is even easier to fight the problem, and from time to time it will even self-destruct.
In fact, the circumstances, this is when the lawn mower stalls at high speeds, there are quite a few of these circumstances.

Some tricks of working with a gas trimmer.
The summer season has come, and lawn mowers have habitually rattled out on personal plots. Great tool, powerful and mobile. With the help of a gas trimmer, you can also cut the grass and get rid of dried weeds. However, there are cases that the lawn mowing does not start, works intermittently or without developing full power. There is certainly no time for work! And as they say, you pull the starter handle more than mow.
Difficulties with launching arise not only in experienced lawn mowers, but also in new ones. How to be in this situation? There is only one way out – to heed the advice of experts and take advantage of their practical experience!
You bought yourself a new gas trimmer and you immediately got into trouble. Very bad start. If you mow a little and then turn it off, then turning it “on hot” is an even bigger problem than “on cold”. What to do with it, I won’t know how to start it right?
The instructions for the lawn mowing plant are as follows:
1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Pump fuel with a silicone button (primer) located at the bottom of the carburetor. It is necessary to do as many clicks (or a little more) as written in the instructions, usually around 8-10.
3. Close the choke.
4. Secure the throttle lever with the stop button at higher speeds.
5. Pull the starter handle 2-3 times. The engine should "grab."
If the engine "grabbed" and stalled, then you need to turn the choke to position 1/2 and try to start again. If the engine starts, then we dump the gas and put the air damper in the "open" position. Getting started.
Carrying out fuel pumping manipulations, one should not be afraid to overfill it. If this happened, and, as they say, “they filled the candle”, then you do not need to unscrew it, just turn the air damper to the “open” position and, while holding full throttle, simultaneously crank the engine with a 2-4 times starter. After that, you can start the engine and get to work.
The time for continuous operation of the lawn mowers is indicated in the trimmer instructions. On average, we mow for 15-20 minutes, after which we muffle the trimmer and let it cool for 3-5 minutes. Also, the duration of continuous operation is provided by weather conditions. In hot weather, when mowing tall grass, weeds, under heavy load, the trimmer overheats faster.
Many problems with lawn mowing are due to improperly prepared fuel mixture. In two-stroke engines, lubrication is done with special oil (not ordinary motor oil!) Mixed with gasoline. If the oil is not mixed with gasoline, then the lawn mower will quickly fail. Oil / gasoline is mixed in the proportion indicated in the trimmer instructions. This is usually 1:40 or 1:50.

A small amount of oil mixed with gasoline leads to increased wear of the piston-cylinder group. An excess of oil in the mixture is not so fatal, but also harmful. Coking of the piston rings, rapid formation of soot in the combustion chamber, and a drop in engine power can occur. In addition, the coke screen of the muffler is coked.

The first option is the simplest from the point of search for the problem. If the trimmer is not gaining momentum and there are no clear signs of damage, then you will need to consistently check the most typical cases of malfunctions, and if a cause is found, eliminate it.
Common Reasons for Lawn Mowing at Low Speed
The problem, when the lawn mower is not gaining momentum, is found mainly in gasoline units. This affects the technique of various models, for example, Husqvarna, Champion, Stihl.
With quality products, such problems are less common than with cheap ones from unknown manufacturers.
Some of the structural elements with which problems may be associated are available for visual inspection, and to check the functioning of the remaining nodes, it will be necessary to disassemble the lawn mower.
Low quality fuel
The trimmer does not develop speed if it is filled with low-quality fuel. For this reason, the engine may do not start at all or work in jerks», Changing the speed of rotation of the knife or fishing line.
To independently determine the quality of the gasoline used, perform the following steps.
With a special key, remove the candles.
Inspect their work contacts for the presence of red brick plaque: if it is, then the fuel used contains significant inclusions of additives.
Candles in general often act as indicators to identify problems with the combustion chamber of a gasoline engine, because they can be quickly removed and inspected.
If a plaque is detected, it is necessary to drain the fuel poured into the tank and replace it with a quality one. The lawn mowing machine used must be refueled with only those brands of gasoline that are indicated by the manufacturers in the operating instructions. It is also a must clear candles from plaque before installation in place.
Air or fuel filter contamination
Another common reason for reducing the number of revolutions on the trimmer is the contamination of its air or fuel filters. In the first case, the problem is that the fuel-air mixture entering the combustion chamber not saturated with oxygen, as a result, not all gas burns. This prevents the lawnmower from developing maximum power.
In order to check whether the air filter is really to blame, you need to remove it (having previously unscrewed the cover for this) and turn on the lawn mower. If it works fine, then instead of a clogged filter element, you need to insert a new one.
If the situation has not changed after the actions taken, then you need to pay attention to the fuel filter. The essence of the problem is similar to the previous case, but instead of a lack of oxygen little gas comes for normal operation of the device. The solution to this problem is also carried out by simply replacing the filter element. Air and fuel filters are inexpensive. It’s easy to change them yourself, and all the work does not take much time.
It should be noted that without the fuel filter it is forbidden to operate the trimmer with instructions; otherwise, it will be necessary to repair the piston assembly in a short time.
Problems with spark plugs
With constant use of lawn mowing, the spark plugs become dirty and worn out over time. To check this, they are removed and examined for carbon deposits. The problem can be fixed in two ways: if possible, restore the old candle, or simply install a new one in its place.
In the first case, they act like this:
Unscrew and wipe the candle from the fuel;
Dry it without calcination;
Using a file or fine sandpaper, carbon deposits are removed from the candle and the gap between the electrodes is checked (should be 1 mm);
Picking up a trimmer;
Start a lawn mowing.
If the candle does not give out a spark after reconstructive manipulations at the required distance between the electrodes, then you will need to check connection quality elements of the electrical circuit of the device. When the wires are in full order, you will need to definitely install a new part.
Replacing candles is a simple process that is cheap, and if you manage to restore the old ones, then it’s generally free. For work, you only need a candle key and a file.
If there is regular rapid pollution and wear of candles, then you need to look for the problem of these abnormal phenomena deeper.
Engine problems
If everything is in order with the fuel, filters and spark plug, then the next source may be a gasoline engine. It may have the following mechanical failures:
Carburetor issues
Problems with the drive mechanism of the engine.
There is a small cable in the carburetor section. It may subside and lead to the problem in question. Therefore, when engaged in a carburetor, you should first check cable condition, and tighten if necessary (but not to the limit). The main thing is not to overdo it with a stretch so that it does not crack under load.
Ropes in the carburetor
After you need to check carb settings, which should correspond to the parameters given in the instruction. If they are installed correctly, but there is no desired effect, then you should disassemble the part, rinse, clean, blow all its strokes with the pump and assemble it back. The carburetor itself must be free of mechanical damage.
If it is impossible to independently restore the carburetor, it is better to replace it with a new part or to resort to the services of professionals.
In the case when adjusting or replacing the carburetor does not give the desired result, it is necessary to clean the drive mechanism and grease the cable located inside it.
Malfunctions associated with the engine, you can fix it yourself if you have the required skills, but it is better to use the services of a service center. Its experts will conduct a comprehensive diagnosis of the trimmer and establish the exact cause of the drop in speed.
Failure in the fuel circulation system
Violation of the normal circulation of fuel on the trimmer also leads to the fact that the lawn mower does not gain working speed. This can be caused by such main reasons:
Air leaks caused by cracks in the hoses;
Clogging of the gas pump, which occurred due to the use of low-quality fuel or due to the formation of sediment at the bottom of the tank and getting it into the system;
Muffler or catalyst contamination.
On your own to resolve the problems you need to do the following:
Sort out the gas pump, removing pollution;
Replace pipes and hoses that circulate fuel;
Clean the muffler and mesh on it;
To put a new catalyst, which will be expensive because of the content of precious metals in it.
All troubleshooting work in the fuel circulation system can be done independently. But it should be done carefully so as not to lose parts, or after assembling the braids there are no "extra" ones left.
Possible causes of malfunctions in electric braids
When operating the trimmer, on which the electric motor is installed, problems also arise with a set of revolutions. But they are caused by completely different problems, compared to fuel braids. The electric motor does not develop the required rotation speed in such cases:
If the voltage acting in the supply network is lower than the rated value for the electric motor by more than 10%;
In case of malfunctions in the soft start system (if this unit is installed);
When there are problems with the brush assembly;
Electric brush assembly
In case of burning motor windings;
If jamming of the rotating parts occurs.
In order to exclude voltage problem, it is required by a multimeter or tester to check its value in the outlet from which the power of the electric braid is taken. If it is less than the minimum acceptable value, then to increase it, you will need to turn off all electrical appliances or install a stabilizer.
A prerequisite necessary for the normal operation of the trimmer is the use of an extension cord with a cross-section of conductors corresponding to the power of the engine of the braid.
For soft starter unit repair You will need to have the appropriate knowledge of electronics, so it is better to contact a service center. They will determine its maintainability or the need for replacement. You can independently check the button or find the block diagram and try to figure it out.
Soft starter
Brushes may wear out, as a result the contact will disappear, which leads to motor stops. Brushes are easy to replace. Features of the process are determined by the applicable lawn mowing model. Along the way, you will also need to clean all contact surfaces.
When burning windings, if you continue to mow grass or shrubs, the electric motor will quickly burn out. This will be accompanied by the appearance of a burning smell, up to the melting of individual parts. You will need to replace the electric motor.
Jamming of rotating parts occurs for various reasons. To identify and eliminate them, you will need to sort out the drive unit. There are models in which the number of revolutions is automatically adjusted depending on the load, increasing as it increases – their idle speed decreases.
The video shows an algorithm of actions to identify the most common causes for which the trimmer does not gain the required speed:
Conclusion
The market has a wide selection of trimmers from various manufacturers. They are characterized by common reasons why the momentum is falling. Each unit is also equipped with instruction manual. In it, the corresponding section contains the necessary recommendations on this issue regarding the model used.
If in the process of self-troubleshooting a positive result was not achieved, it is better to seek the help of specialists. Also, professionals should be involved in solving the problem in the absence of minimum experience and skills in such a case, so as not to harm. The most difficult unit is the engine. Only experienced craftsmen are allowed to work with it. When the lawn mower is on warranty service, the best option is to contact a service center where they will carry out diagnostics and repair of equipment.

Fans of dresses will certainly appreciate the various belts that emphasize the figure, attracting special attention to it. There are a huge number of varieties, so each fashionista will be able to find the perfect option for herself, which can complement both everyday, and romantic or business image. Why not try to solve the situation with additional accessories? For example, you can think about how to sew a belt for a dress with your own hands. This article will give examples of sewing the simplest models of belts, each of which even a novice seamstress can master.
General recommendations
Why do you need a belt. That is, for everyday wear, evening wear or a business suit.
It must be suitable for any particular outfit or to be universal.
You will use it as a decorative element or to maintain the shape of a certain outfit.
How to sew a simple belt for every day?
You must admit that there is nothing simpler than an everyday fabric belt that fits almost any clothing. Therefore, he must be present in any wardrobe.
To make this wardrobe item you will need:
Measuring tape.
Plain or colored texture fabric – it all depends on what color shade you will most often wear.
Needle, thread, scissors, soap or crayon.
Sewing machine.
Decor elements, accessories.
Non-woven.
Corsage tape.
Now let’s dwell on how to sew a belt for a dress made of fabric:
Using a measuring tape, take measurements from the waist, multiply the resulting volume by two. That is, if the waist volume is 60 cm, the belt will have a length of 120 cm.
Cut a strip of 120 cm long from the fabric, while its width should be twice as large as the width of the finished belt plus 1 cm. For example, if you need a 5 cm product, you will need to make a blank of 11 cm.
Measure 0.5 cm above and below this strip, draw thin mowing lines with soap or chalk.
Bend the belt in half, attach the mowing line to each other, make a line on the typewriter.
Turn the belt on the front side, sew a side cut.
Here is your universal belt ready!
How to cut and sew a belt for an evening dress on your own?
Do I need a pattern for a belt on a dress or coat? You have already made a simple belt for a dress from your own fabric. It’s time to think about creating something more complex, for example, to sew an accessory for an evening outfit. Here, of course, more time will be required, but there is nothing complicated.
Today at the peak of popularity are wide belts with buckles. Therefore, the creation of something like this, we now consider:
As in the previous version, first we measure the volume of our waist. Considering that the belt will be on the fastener, it is necessary to add 4 cm to the figure obtained, and another 2 cm to the seam. In this case, it will be tight, reliable, and most comfortable to sit on the waist.
In order for him to keep his shape well, it should be strengthened with non-woven fabric, because of which the belt will be reduced by a couple of centimeters, which should be added to its final length. That is, having a waist of 60 cm in volume, the fabric will need 68 cm in length.
Video: How to Wear a Trimmer Belt
Cut a strip of the required width and length. It is not difficult to determine these quantities, as we have already found out, you can do everything according to the scheme already given in the case of a simple belt.
Fold the product in half, draw a medium line with soap or chalk.
Sew the corsage tape on the wrong side. In this case, the length of the tape will be equal to the length of your belt minus 2 cm, which we took on the seam. Using the sewing machine, sew the ribbon to one part of the product from the inside, departing 1 cm from the edge.
Inside out, fold the belt in half, sew on only three sides.
Turn the product on the front side, carefully sew the edge left open.
Sew buttons, a decorative clasp or hook-and-eye clasps – choose your own option.
An elegant belt from a ribbon with your own hands for a dress is almost ready, it remains only to decorate it with rhinestones, beads, appliques, fabric flowers, embroider with glass beads or beads. In fact, there may be many options for decorative design, and each of them, in its own way, gives the accessories sophistication, style, and beauty.
How to make a beautiful belt with a buckle with your own hands? Master Class
Perhaps the above options for accessories will seem to you too simple? Then get acquainted with the idea of how to make a belt for a dress with your own hands with an original buckle. In this case, of course, it will take even more patience, time, strength.
Methods and materials
There are two ways to make buckle belts – classic, accelerated. For work, you will need fabric, leather or a quality substitute longer than the waist by 15 cm, buckle, lining-sealant of the same size.
Sewing Technology – Option 1
First, consider how to make a belt for a dress with your own hands in the classical way:
Cut out 2 strips from the fabric so that their width matches the width of the belt that you want to get, the length is equal to the circumference of the waist with the addition of 15 cm. Consider allowances for seams, not more than 0.5-0.7 cm.
Cut strips from the lining of the same length and width as in the belt, except for allowances for the seams.
Iron the seal or non-woven onto the outside of the belt from the wrong side.
To the wrong side, take allowances on the slices of the outer part strictly along the edge of the seal. In the corners, allowances must be slightly tucked up.
In the same way, take allowances on the slices of the inner part.
Iron both parts with an iron, fold them in such a way that the wrong sides are inside, pin everything with safety pins.
Sew the belt along the edges on the front side of the machine, grabbing the inner part.
Sewing Technology – Option 1
How to sew a wide belt for a dress according to the accelerated method, we will consider further:
Cut one strip of leather or fabric so that its length is equal to the length of the product with allowances for seams, the width corresponds to the double width of the belt.
Take a gasket with a length equal to the length of the belt, the width of the corresponding one part of the finished product. Allowances are not considered here.
Fold a strip of fabric or leather in half and lengthwise so that the front side is inside.
Sew longitudinal sections.
Fold the product so that the seam is in the middle, smooth the seam allowances with an iron.
Cut short slices. First grind slices on one edge, giving them the desired shape. Cut the seam allowances, leaving a few millimeters.
Turn the belt to the front side, iron with an iron, paying maximum attention to the edges and ends.
Insert gaskets to the seams with an adhesive base in it, iron the belt with an iron.
Sew the product along the contours.
Move away from the free edge of 3 cm, make a small hole, cut a circle with an awl or hole punch. Process it with a buttonhole stitch, thread a peg directly into it.
Wrap a jumper with the end of the belt, catch it on the wrong side with a zigzag or oblique seam, stitch it all together.
Punch blocks on the opposite side. In this case, one should be located at a distance equal to the circumference of the waist, the rest – with intervals equal to 3 cm.
Buckles can be tightened with the same fabric of which the belt is made. Cut two pieces out of it, the size corresponding to the size of the buckle with the addition of allowances for stitching. Fold the details inward with your face, chalk out the markings. Cut the fabric down to the stitch into short cuts for jumpers. Turn the part and put it on the buckle.

So we learned how to make a simple, elegant or original belt on a dress with our own hands. The options discussed above are quite simple in terms of execution, do not require serious temporary and financial investments. But having made such accessories, you noticeably dilute your everyday and business wardrobe.
Many, having developed a factory line on a newly acquired trimmer, try to rewind a new one, but they cannot, because they do not know how to wind the line onto the reel spool (bobbin). It seems that there is an instruction, but it still doesn’t work out. Let’s try to deal with this issue in this article.
So, to rewind the fishing line, you need, for starters, to remove the reel from the trimmer – it will be more convenient. The removal method will depend on the type of trimmer.
Remove the coil from the trimmer
On small electric trimmers with the bottom position of the engine (when it is when working near the ground), the coil usually has two keys on its sides. We click on them and disconnect one half of the coil body from the second, which remains on the trimmer. Together with the first half, the inner part is taken out, on which the fishing line is directly wound. When parsing, be careful: there is a spring inside that can fly out and get lost.
On electric and petrol trimmers with a curved bar (it is still not possible to put a knife on such trimmers), you need to grab the coil body with one hand, and with the second hand you need to start turning the lamb on it. It is he who fastens the coil to the trimmer bar. Having unscrewed the lamb, carefully remove the entire coil, being careful not to lose the spring inside.
On electric and petrol trimmers with a straight rod and a gearbox at its end (in addition to fishing line, you can also install a knife on such trimmers) we look for a hole under the coil, insert a screwdriver into it, for example, rotate the coil quietly until the screwdriver penetrates even deeper, and the coil will lock. Now twist the entire coil clockwise (since the thread is left) and remove it from the trimmer. Then we disassemble the coil. It can be assembled using latches or twisted by a lamb. If the coil is on latches, then we press on the sides on the base of the latches so that they bend and release one half of the coil body from the other. We just twist the lamb. There may also be a third type of connection of two halves of such a coil: with it, you need to grab the lower part with one hand, and the upper one with the other, and start turning them in opposite directions. When disassembling such a coil, you must also make sure that the spring inside is not lost.
More than 200 types of trimmers in one place at the lowest prices. Click and see
Now, having removed and disassembled the coil, we proceed, in fact, to winding.
Winding process
If your coil is designed to work with only one antennae, then everything is simple. You need to rewind 2-4 m of fishing line (depending on the size of the reel), find the hole fixing the line on the inside of the reel, insert one end of the line there and start reeling the line in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the reel on the trimmer. On the inside of the reel, they usually indicate an arrow, in which direction to wind the line. After winding up the fishing line, we leave a small piece of it unwound to expose it. We fix this piece in a special groove located on the inside of the reel and designed so that the fishing line does not unwind at the time of collection of the reel. If there is no such groove, then you will have to hold the fishing line with your finger to prevent it from unwinding during the further collection of the reel. Next, we take the outer part of the reel and thread the outer piece of fishing line into the existing hole, collect and put the reel back on the trimmer.
If the coil is designed to work with two antennae, then do the following. On the inside of the reel, we see how many grooves are available for winding fishing line. There may be one or two. If there is one groove, then both antennae are wound along this same groove. If there are two grooves, then each antennae is wound on its own groove. The reel with one groove should have a through hole into which the line is threaded. Unwind 2-4 m of fishing line, thread it through this hole so that on each side of the fishing line sticks out equally. And at the same time we wind both antennae of the fishing line in the same direction, opposite to the direction of rotation of the coil on the trimmer and coinciding with the direction indicated by the arrow on the inside of the coil. We leave a little fishing line unwound, we fix the ends in special grooves, and if they are not there, hold them with our fingers. Pass both ends into the holes on the outer coil body. We assemble the coil and attach it to the trimmer.

If there are two grooves, we fold the piece of fishing line 2-4 m long in half, insert the loop obtained at the bend point into the groove between the two grooves, and simultaneously wind both ends of the fishing line in each groove. Further actions are similar to the previous option.
There are still reels in which the line is threaded through a through hole on the inside. After that, the ends of the fishing line, without winding, are threaded completely through the holes on the outer casing of the reel, the reel is assembled and the button, which is usually pressed, is rotated so that the line can be released during operation as it wears out. Turn the button – the line itself is wound inside. At the same time, turning it in the “wrong” direction will not work, since it can only spin in one direction. If you get used to it, then you can wind the line onto such a reel without even taking it apart – you just need to combine the through hole of the inner drum with the holes on the outer case of the reel, and then thread the line into them.
Despite the fact that gardening equipment has been used for a long time, for some owners of private houses it is still a novelty. That is why often questions arise about how to properly wind a line on an electric or gas trimmer.
This is essentially a simple operation, but all its stages must be performed correctly to achieve the desired result. Moreover, in the operating instructions, only a few manufacturers give an answer to this urgent question. Study the article and find out how the line is wound around the reel of the trimmer.
The procedure for winding fishing line on the trimmer reel
First of all, you should know that trimmers have different working nozzles. The reel can be designed for different lengths and thicknesses of fishing line – this point should be considered when purchasing supplies.
So, how do you charge the fishing line into the trimmer coil? All work is divided into several stages:
First you need to disassemble the trimmer head.
Unscrew the nozzle by rotating the drum to the right.
Press your fingers on the two latches located on opposite sides of the slots, and remove the top cover of the nozzle. You can pry the cover with a screwdriver. This should be done carefully: the reels with automatic line feed have a spring, which can forcefully drop the lid along with all the contents of the reel.
Remove scraps of old fishing line.
Now you need to find the middle of the fishing line. To do this, rewind it to the required length (for example, 10 m), cut and fold in half.
Hook the middle of the fishing line into an existing recess or insert it into the hole specially designed for this. And start winding. The direction is indicated by the arrow, which is usually applied to the body of the trimmer coil (usually against the rotation of the drum). Some models have a double-sided reel: in this case, the fishing line should be wound in different directions: one end – in one direction, the other – in the other, while the loop of the fishing line must be brought into the dividing slot located in the middle.
Leave the loose ends of the fishing line about 20 cm long each. Later they will need to be fixed in the recesses.
And finally, the last step will be drum assembly. Replace the washers and spring. On the upper ring of the reel there are two recesses where you need to fill the antenna line of the fishing line. Pass them through the holes and install the reel in the drum, trying to tighten the fishing line and not displace the spring.
Place the drum cover on top and close it with your fingers. The latches will snap into place with a distinctive click.
When you turn on the trimmer, the excess fishing line will be cut off by the cutting blade itself.
As you can see, it is easy to wind the line onto the reel of the trimmer: the main thing is to do everything right. And here are some more tips that will be useful to you when choosing a fishing line, its winding and subsequent work:
Fishing line is of different thickness and with different cross-section. The best option for winding is the "native" for this model of fishing line;
Never use a fishing line or metal cables for the trimmer. Such a replacement may seem effective, but it is very dangerous. Jumping off a working trimmer, the cable can seriously injure not only the lawn mower, but also others;
The fishing line is cut off when the working trimmer comes into contact with solid objects. Try not to allow this, otherwise you will have to stop every time, turn off the device and rewind the fishing line onto the reel;
Use a straight line for mowing grass and a pigtail line for coarse weeds. It is more durable and will not be permanently cut.
If you are going to tidy up the lawn or remove excess vegetation on the site that appeared during the season, then you are unlikely to be able to do without a trimmer. Before you consider how the choice of fishing line for the trimmer affects its functioning and effectiveness, you need to understand what this device is.
What is a grass trimmer?
What is the difference between trimmers?
The main difference between trimmers is the mowing width, which depends on the diameter of the circle that the line passes through. The number of lines that the device uses and their thickness may also differ. The body of the device itself can be made of steel or plastic, which affects not only its effectiveness, but also on price, ease of use and durability.
Trimmers differ from each other in the type of engines, which can have different power and country of manufacture. If we talk about the type of engine, devices that run on gasoline are more preferable than electric ones. They have more functionality and are easy to use. Unlike electric models, gas trimmers can be used immediately after rain. Rods are usually presented in two forms, each of which has its own characteristics. In straight-shaped trimmers, the cutting head is driven by a metal rod, and in curved – thanks to a steel cable.
Modern trimmers have various nozzles, thanks to which the device can be used for cleaning snow, cultivating the soil, cutting trees, forming a hedge, etc. Such functionality and ease of use have led to the fact that trimmers have become more in demand than lawn mowers, which have a lot application restrictions.
What kind of fishing line for the trimmer in composition, thickness and shape?
When working with a trimmer, the right choice of fishing line plays a paramount role and determines not only the effectiveness of the technique itself, but also the overall result of the work done. Despite the fact that there is a fairly large selection of various technical features, the main emphasis should be placed on exactly which line to choose for the trimmer. To do this, you need to understand what is the difference between different options for lines and which one is more preferable for a particular type of work.
If you highlight the main parameters of the fishing line, then usually classify them according to the following characteristics:
Structure
Thickness
Sectional shape
The composition of the fishing line for trimmer
The composition directly affects the life of the fishing line. In most cases, it is made of nylon, since this material has high wear resistance with maximum preservation of working functionality. Also a clear advantage of nylon is that the material is independent of low temperature.
Trimmer line thickness
Also, the thickness of the fishing line must be selected based on the type of motor and power. For example, for electrical devices with a power of 1 kW, the best option would be to choose a cord of 2 mm, and for motors with a power of 500 W, the thickness of the fishing line should not exceed 1.6 mm.
Video on how to choose a fishing line for a trimmer
Cross-sectional shape of a fishing line for a trimmer
The main criteria for selecting the correct section shape is the level of noise emitted and the type of work. There are a fairly large number of forms, including square, star, rectangular, notched forms, etc. There are two-component twisted fishing lines that are ideal for mowing dry grass. Such fishing lines are much stronger and more resistant to gusts, therefore they have a long service life. Twisted fishing lines are suitable even for mowing shrubs. Their only minus is the price, which is much higher than for ordinary types of cord.
Tips for choosing a fishing line for the trimmer for proper operation
It is the choice of fishing line that is the most common question that bothers the owners of this device. If the choice of technical characteristics, features and shape is relevant only when buying a trimmer, then the choice of cord is always important. It is its quality that determines the effectiveness and ability to perform various types of work.
To find out how to choose a fishing line for a trimmer, you need to correctly determine the type of work and the purpose of operation of the device. Adhering to simple rules, you will not only extend the fishing line itself, but also increase the operability of the device:
Choose a cord diameter that is suitable for your particular engine type. Its parameters should fully match the capabilities of the device.
Also, when choosing a fishing line, it is necessary to take into account the type of vegetation. The thickness of the cord should depend on the complexity of the work. For example, any thin line is suitable for seasonal lawn mowing, and thicker options are best for shrubs and perennial weeds.
When working, try to avoid cord contact with hard surfaces such as stones, foundations, and trees.
With proper operation, the fishing line and reel will last a fairly long period, which will allow you not only to perform the required amount of work, but also significantly save finances.
Do not try to buy the most expensive fishing line options. Sometimes this is completely useless. It is much more important to pay attention to the manufacturer and quality, and not to the special conditions of the cord.
It is also important to understand how to tackle the line in the trimmer. An incorrect winding procedure can cause it to fail, and you will have to purchase another skein. If you do not possess such skills and do not know all the features of the operation of the device, then it is better to ask all the details from a consultant when buying a fishing line.
Some trimmer models require only a certain type of wood, so when buying equipment, make sure that it is suitable for the intended tasks. All information can be found in the instructions. Also always pay attention to the thickness of the fishing line, which is indicated in the basic characteristics of the trimmer. Using a thicker or thinner cord can cause rapid wear and even breakage of the mechanism itself.

What do you pay attention to when choosing a fishing line for a trimmer? Share your experience in the comments.
A beautiful and well-groomed lawn in front of the house or a neat lawn framed by ornamental shrubs largely speaks not only of the attractiveness of the artistic solution, but also of the industriousness of the estate owner.
And these are not empty words, because systematic lawn care requires not only compliance with technological cycles, but also hard work.
Created and brought to perfection, tools for lawn care simultaneously with the need for skillful handling also require a high-quality selection of consumables, the quality of which largely determines the success of an ideal lawn.
How and which line to choose for the trimmer?
The means of small-scale mechanization offered today for small areas and for the maintenance of large areas with complex terrain, and these are mainly electric and gas trimmers, have a working body in the form of a universal head, in the drum of which a synthetic fishing line or vein is wound, as it is sometimes called.
Basically, all manufacturers of this kind of technology in the instructions for use indicate the parameters of the fishing line – diameter. There is a similar indication on the spool, which indicates the direction of winding the fishing line and its diameter.
However, today there are several types of fishing line for the trimmer, which not only differ from each other in color, diameter and shape, but also have completely different characteristics.
The main parameters of the trimmer line
Manufacturers most often indicate the diameter of the fishing line, and this is partly correct – the mowing head has holes with metal inserts of a certain inner diameter, into which it is impossible to insert a fishing line of a larger diameter.
Thus, one of the parameters of the fishing line is:
The thickness of the thread.
What nuances should be observed during the work?
As with the start of operation of any equipment, it is recommended that you read the instructions before starting to work with the trimmer, just read and not run your eyes, it is simple and extremely useful, in any case, if you are not experienced with this kind of equipment, you can avoid damage at the initial stage .
Already in the future, when experience appears, this largely compensates for the high consumption of fishing line, but nevertheless, it should be borne in mind that initially you must adhere to the manufacturer’s advice.
The second important point is the knowledge of the main parameters of the fishing line and their accounting for work:
Thickness;
Section shapes;
Composition of the thread.
Thread thickness
Given that the trimmers have different power, and the destination manufacturers are trying to recommend different thicknesses of fishing line for different models of trimmers.
For small electric machines designed to care for small areas of the lawn, the main buyers of which are housewives, and older people, manufacturers recommend fishing line with a diameter of 1.4 to 2.4 mm.
For electric braids and gasoline trimmers of medium power, which are needed to care for fairly large areas, manufacturers recommend fishing line from 2.4 mm to 3 mm.
Professional units capable of working for several hours in a row, mowing grass in areas with difficult terrain, with shrubs and dry grass, it is recommended fishing line with a thickness of 3 – 3.2 mm.
Sectional shape
In many ways, the result of the trimmer also depends on the cross-sectional shape of the fishing line. Conventionally, all types can be divided into two types – a fishing line of circular cross section and a fishing line of complex section – square, rectangle, star.
The most common type of fishing line is a fishing line of circular cross section.
This is caused by several factors:
Round thread production is much cheaper than the production of complex sections;
Round thread withstands heavy loads – during mowing, the tip of the fishing line is sharpened and, thus, an even regular cut is obtained, similar to the cut of a hand braid;
Round fishing line is spent less than other types of fishing line;
Round section is available in all types of diameter products from 1.4 mm to 3.3 mm inclusive.
Disadvantages of a round cross section of fishing line:
Makes noise during work, therefore, for particularly tender consumers who do not like to wear headphones, the manufacturer offers a round spiral line with reduced noise during operation;
Despite being present in all kinds of sizes, round fishing line is not suitable for mowing shrubs and dead wood, its main purpose is young green grass.
Fishing line of square or rectangular section:
The main purpose – professional trimmers for haymowing on tall grass;
The cut is made by the edges of the rectangle, as a result of which the mowing is smooth, without crushing the stems.
Sizes – from 2.4 mm to 3.3 mm.
Of the minuses:
High consumption when working on rocky areas, near hedges, trees – the fishing line is quite fragile;
Mainly used on powerful electric and gas trimmers.
Asterisk-shaped fishing line:
The main purpose is dry grass and small shrubs;
Sizes from 2.4 mm to 3.0 mm;
Some manufacturers for reinforcing the fishing line make it two-component when there is a metal core inside the fishing line;
Of the minuses it should be noted:
High and very high cost (fishing line with a metal core);
Requires a special coil for a trimmer or special disc;
When mowing with such fishing line, the use of mowed grass in the form of livestock feed is not recommended.
The composition of the fishing line
However, basically, the service life of the fishing line does not depend on the shape or diameter of the thread, but on what composition it is made of. Most often, domestic manufacturers use nylon as the main material.
It is quite flexible, elastic, strong, and can be deformed by stretching. Relatively easy to withstand heavy loads and high temperatures.
Nylon fishing line in the price range is the cheapest, but this does not mean that poor quality, given the price / quality / performance ratio, the nylon fishing line will show a very decent result.
Coaxial, two-component fishing line can withstand the most stress and is considered the strongest. Its secret is simple – a dense, even rigid core and a rather elastic outer layer.
This combination allows the fishing line to retain its properties for a long time and wear out gradually, much more slowly than a nylon fishing line.
The line with a metal central core was originally intended for professional work – mowing grass along the freeways, cleaning steep slopes, working on rocky areas.
And therefore, it has an appropriate price, which is not entirely suitable for working on a personal plot.
Selection tips
The main criterion for choosing a fishing line should be the correspondence of the diameter of the fishing line to the trimmer, its power, and capabilities.
It is not necessary to put the entire skein of fishing line in a reel, a small length is enough to prevent spontaneous scattering of the working head, especially since to work with the trimmer it is necessary to select the fishing line in the size range specified in the instructions – a light thread of small diameter also harms the tool, as well as a thicker thread .
Overview of the best brands of manufacturers
Among branded threads for trimmers, the greatest authority and popularity among professionals are fishing line Makita, Black&Decker, Husqvarna, Bosch. These are well-known brands that have been setting the bar for quality and innovation for more than a year.
The most common on the market, and quite affordable to the average consumer (both for the amateur and for professional use) are Forte, Intertool, Master Tool, Sturm, Verto, Sadko, Werk, Team leader.
Despite the fact that gardening equipment has been used for a long time, for some owners of private houses it is still a novelty. That is why often questions arise about how to properly wind a line on an electric or gas trimmer.
This is essentially a simple operation, but all its stages must be performed correctly to achieve the desired result. Moreover, in the operating instructions, only a few manufacturers give an answer to this urgent question. Study the article and find out how the line is wound around the reel of the trimmer.
The procedure for winding fishing line on the trimmer reel
First of all, you should know that trimmers have different working nozzles. The reel can be designed for different lengths and thicknesses of fishing line – this point should be considered when purchasing supplies.
So, how do you charge the fishing line into the trimmer coil? All work is divided into several stages:
First you need to disassemble the trimmer head.
Unscrew the nozzle by rotating the drum to the right.
Press your fingers on the two latches located on opposite sides of the slots, and remove the top cover of the nozzle. You can pry the cover with a screwdriver. This should be done carefully: the reels with automatic line feed have a spring, which can forcefully drop the lid along with all the contents of the reel.
Remove scraps of old fishing line.
Now you need to find the middle of the fishing line. To do this, rewind it to the required length (for example, 10 m), cut and fold in half.
Hook the middle of the fishing line into an existing recess or insert it into the hole specially designed for this. And start winding. The direction is indicated by the arrow, which is usually applied to the body of the trimmer coil (usually against the rotation of the drum). Some models have a double-sided reel: in this case, the fishing line should be wound in different directions: one end – in one direction, the other – in the other, while the loop of the fishing line must be brought into the dividing slot located in the middle.
Leave the loose ends of the fishing line about 20 cm long each. Later they will need to be fixed in the recesses.
And finally, the last step will be drum assembly. Replace the washers and spring. On the upper ring of the reel there are two recesses where you need to fill the antenna line of the fishing line. Pass them through the holes and install the reel in the drum, trying to tighten the fishing line and not displace the spring.
Place the drum cover on top and close it with your fingers. The latches will snap into place with a distinctive click.
When you turn on the trimmer, the excess fishing line will be cut off by the cutting blade itself.
As you can see, it is easy to wind the line onto the reel of the trimmer: the main thing is to do everything right. And here are some more tips that will be useful to you when choosing a fishing line, its winding and subsequent work:
Fishing line is of different thickness and with different cross-section. The best option for winding is the "native" for this model of fishing line;
Never use a fishing line or metal cables for the trimmer. Such a replacement may seem effective, but it is very dangerous. Jumping off a working trimmer, the cable can seriously injure not only the lawn mower, but also others;
The fishing line is cut off when the working trimmer comes into contact with solid objects. Try not to allow this, otherwise you will have to stop every time, turn off the device and rewind the fishing line onto the reel;
Use a straight line for mowing grass and a pigtail line for coarse weeds. It is more durable and will not be permanently cut.

Each owner of a personal plot or house lawn sooner or later thinks about the problem of cleaning grass. To cope with this task, today’s summer residents are helped by a manual lawn mower or trimmer. The working part of such a tool is a spinning reel, which cuts off unnecessary grass with a fishing line. Everything seems to be simple, but not every amateur gardener knows how to wind a fishing line on a trimmer reel. Oddly enough, manufacturers often forget to raise this issue in the instruction manual.
Trimmers are different
To understand how to wind a fishing line on a reel of a trimmer, you first need to deal with the tool itself: what kind of company, how it works, how it works and what spare parts you need for repair. To begin with, the trimmers are divided into gasoline and electric, and they can have a knife and fishing line as cutting elements. There are 3 modifications of trimmers:
With fishing line and knives having 2–4 blades;
Only with knives;
Only with fishing line.
Of course, craftsmen can improve anything and sometimes they tuck into trimmers, for example, metal wire or fishing line. But to do this categorically is not worth it – you can seriously injure yourself or others.
Types of trimmer heads
Also, the braid heads can have a different device: with automatic feed of fishing line, semi-automatic or manual. In the first case, in order to lengthen the working ends of the thread, it is necessary to slightly reduce the speed. And when you add them again, the fishing line will advance automatically. For semi-automatic devices, you need to click on the special button located below. The trimmer is optional. Just tap the scythe on the ground. The most inconvenient to work with are manual trimmers. To lengthen its working ends, the tool must be turned off and the operation performed manually.
Another reel with fishing line for the trimmer happens:
Single-string – suitable only for cosmetic trimming of the adjacent area;
Two-stringed – used for more serious work on cleaning the site of grass.
A ring must be cut out of thin but durable plastic, and its inner diameter should be equal to the thickness of the core on which the fishing line is wound, and the outer one to the diameter of the reel.
On the inner part of the ring you need to make a small recess through which the thread will be threaded.
Next, the ring is cut, put on a coil. And the place of the cut is glued with adhesive tape or soldered with a hot knife. That’s all – now each end of the fishing line can be wound on its own part of the reel.
Choose a fishing line
Carefully look at the cross section of the fishing line, it can be round or with ribs (square, "star") Faceted thread is suitable for harvesting harder grass and weeds. However, if the grass is too stiff, it is better to use a lawn mowing knife (milling cutter).
Some types of fishing line have quite sharp edges, so in order to avoid injuries, the reel is in gloves.
How to reel a fishing line on a trimmer reel. Learn step by step
To find out how to wind the fishing line on the trimmer coil, you need to carefully examine the mowing part of the device or look into the instrument passport. The fact is that, depending on the method of refueling, trimmer coils are quick-loading and collapsible. For the first, everything is very simple. You don’t have to remove and disassemble anything, you just need to find holes for the fishing line, thread it through both ears and wind the desired number of turns, and cut off the excess.
First, make sure that the trimmer is turned off, and if you are using a lawn mower, be sure to unscrew the candle.
Remove the mowing head from the trimmer and disassemble it. To do this, push the latches located on the head housing fully and remove the cover.
Cut the required amount of fishing line, and make its ends sharp. This will facilitate the work.
Place one end of the fishing line in a special clip located in the center of the reel.
Wind the string in the direction of the arrow indicated on the cover, while holding the thread firmly with your finger.
Leave a free end 12-15 cm long and fasten it into the slots on the reel.
If the mower coil of your trimmer is two-piece, do the last 4 points again. At the same time, reel the fishing line into a free section. And fix the end on the other side of the coil.
Return the structure to the mowing head and pull out the free ends of the fishing line through special slots.
Close the head cover and reassemble the trimmer. Your braid is ready to go again.
Conclusion
As you already understood, refueling fishing line into the reel of the trimmer. A simple matter, it is quite within the power of every novice summer resident. You just need to understand how your tool is designed, and do the work carefully, without rushing.
With frequent, intensive use of lawn mowers, the gearbox may start to warm up or make sounds uncharacteristic for its normal operation, for example, rattle. This indicates that the mechanism must be lubricated. If this is not done on time, more serious problems will arise (for example, gears will quickly wear out and need to be replaced), up to jamming. With the transmission mechanism, other failures also occur. Repair and lubrication of the gearbox can be done independently – for this you just need to get acquainted with the features of these works and stock up on some available tools.
Trimmer gear device
A trimmer reducer is a unit that transmits the rotational movement of the motor shaft to a knife or fishing line. It is located on the lower end of the bar. The transmission unit is also designed to reduce the trimmer engine speed.
The mechanism depends on the model of lawn mowers from several gears rotating at high speed. As a result, they heat up due to strong friction. If there is insufficient lubricant, or there is none at all, the process leads to severe overheating and failure of parts, and, accordingly, the need for complex repairs. To avoid this, lubricate the transmission unit in time. The disassembled gearbox is shown in the photo below.
Gearboxes of modern trimmers of different models from different manufacturers differ in design and size seat. It happens:
Round;
In the form of an asterisk;
Square.
Lawn mowers are equipped with gearboxes with different types of gears:
Conical;
Worm gears;
Spyroid;
Cylindrical;
Planetary;
Wave;
Combined.
The drive shaft and gearbox are heavily loaded trimmer assemblies that are highly susceptible to wear. Between them, the movement is transmitted due to the adhesion of the teeth of the gears located at different angles to each other. Effectively gear only works if there is no mechanical damage. In this case, the mechanism should not overheat, otherwise it may jam.
The main malfunctions of the gearbox and their solutions
With the gearbox of an electric or gas trimmer, various failures occur. The most common of them are presented in the table below. There you can find the causes of their occurrence and methods of elimination.
Gear malfunction
Possible causes of failure
Remedy
the transmission unit is very hot
use of unsuitable (poor-quality) grease or its absence
need to replace or add lubricant
new gears and did not get used
run-in for a short time without heavy loads with regular stops, so that the mechanism has time to cool down
jamming of the shaft during rotation, the appearance of play and knocking
destruction or significant wear of any of the bearings
replace a failed bearing with a new one
the transmission mechanism flies from the bar of the lawn mowing or wobbles
damage to his body
it is necessary to replace the part
in some cases, with minor damage by a clamp made of metal, they tighten the place with a fault
not fixed on the pipe
dock wear
it is possible to make winding from an insulating tape in the place of fastening or to change a bar
the output shaft with the knife does not rotate or stops in case of increasing load
wear of teeth on gears or one of them
replacement of an interacting pair of worn parts is required
Bearings are destroyed due to the use of improper grease or due to its absence. They also cause damage. Severe operating conditions lawn mowing and ingress of foreign material particles (for example, broken metal teeth of mechanical gears) due to the fact that the integrity of the anthers is broken.
To remove the bearing, you need to disassemble the gearbox and use special puller. If it is not, then you can try to do it with a hammer with a tip. In this case, work should be done carefully so as not to damage the seat. Using the preheating method to take pictures of the bearing is not recommended. This is due to the fact that the metal can lose the required performance characteristics.
Most gearbox problems can be easily fixed by yourself. Replaceable parts are recommended to be purchased "native", designed for the model used lawn mowers.
Grease trimmer gear
Gear lubrication must be carried out regularly in accordance with the recommendations set out in operational instructions used model. This should also be done if:
New gears were installed;
Atypical sounds emanate from the gear during the operation of the trimmer;
Knives rotate heavily.
With constant use of the trimmer, its transmission mechanism is stressed by grass, dirt or sticking to the knives due to a change in torque. The lubricant must be selected high-quality to extend the life of the gearbox.
Used greases
When choosing a lubricant, the following factors must be considered:
The degree of adhesion of the composition to the metal node;
Product brand;
Lubricant consumption by gear.
Well-known manufacturers, for example,Stihl, Husqvarna and others, except for trimmers, release grease to them. Such products not only reduce wear, but also protect the metal of the gears from corrosion. Therefore, for lawn mowing from these brands, it is better to use their own lubricant products.
Different models use different lubricants. This is largely determined by the intensity of use of the lawn mowers and the heating of the transmission mechanism. It is believed that there is enough lubricant if the gearbox temperature during operation does not exceed40 ° C.
By consistency, trimmer lubricants can be:
Liquid;
Semi-liquid;
Solid;
Plastic.
In terms of composition, the following types of lubricants are in demand:
Graphite, significantly reducing friction, as a result of which the rotation of the gear improves;
Lithium, which are also an excellent anti-corrosion composition, saturated with additives that increase the wear resistance of the metal without harmful substances;
Universal, highly refined mineral oils and performance enhancing components.
Examples of suitable lubricants are: Champion EP-0, Gear Grease OREGON, Oleo-Mas, Azmol 158, Litol. 24. You should also pay attention to the advice of manufacturers on this issue and use the materials they offer. You can buy them at specialized outlets.
Champion EP-0 greasing universal 120 gr
Gear lubrication algorithm
To lubricate the gear mechanism, its preliminary disassembly is not needed. A special hole has already been laid in the device for these purposes (it is shown in the photo below). In addition to gears during lubrication, attention must be paid to such elements of the mechanism:
Bearing unit;
Flywheel and starter coil dog.
Grease hole
Fill with oil or apply solid lubricant through grease fitting closed with a screw. In this case, perform actions in the following sequence:
The gear case is cleaned of dirt and adhering grass, the area around the plug is carefully carefully so that debris does not get inside the mechanism;
Using the appropriate tool (often it comes with a trimmer), unscrew the cork;
The selected lubricant is introduced into the open technological hole from the tube, or using a syringe, as shown in the photograph below;
Screw the cork into place.
Video: How can I replace the grease in the trimmer
Gear lubrication
If for any reason the gearbox needs to be disassembled, then the old lubricant must be completely removed from the entire surface of the gears and the housing, the shaft, and only then use a new one. The disassembled mechanism is conveniently lubricated with solid formulations.
The entire gearbox lubrication process is demonstrated in the video:
It is required to lubricate the transmission unit at least once during the year, but it is recommended to do this every 20 hours of intensive use of the lawn mowers. If the first signs of malfunctions with the mechanism appear, then lubricant must be added as quickly as possible.
How to replace the trimmer gear: action algorithm
To replace the gearbox with a similar part from the same manufacturer, it must first be disassembled and removed from the rod. They act in accordance with the following algorithm:
Loosen the coupling bolts located under the gear;
Using pliers, remove two corkscrew rings;
Applying a puller, pull bearings from the driven and drive shafts;
Then assemble the mechanism, installing all the spare parts in reverse order.
A disassembled gear is shown in the photo below.
If the puller is not at hand, then you can try carefully knock down bearings. When they are stuck and do not move at all, you can heat them with an industrial hair dryer (at a temperature of 600 ° C) and remove them.
Assembling the transfer unit is easier than disassembling it. It may only be necessary to lightly tap the hammer to fit the parts into place. After assembly, be sure to check that the driven shaft is rotated by hand.
When there is a need to replace the transmission unit with a non-original part, then you should consider theirinterchangeability. It should be borne in mind:
Rod diameter (this parameter is often 25.4 or 26 mm);
Drive shaft parameters – the shape of the docking place and diameter (its common value is 8 mm);
Option to secure the protection.
If the considered parameters coincide, then it will be possible to install the part from other models.
Timely lubrication of the gearbox will ensure its continued operation without repairs. In addition, modern materials well protect the metal from corrosion, increase its wear resistance. The preference when choosing should be given to the lubricant recommended by the manufacturer of the operated trimmer. If it is not possible to acquire such compositions, then the considered ones or other suitable analogous properties should be used. When it is necessary to disassemble the mechanism during repairs, this should be done carefully so as not to damage individual parts.
Sometimes, in the midst of intense grass mowing operations, your trimmer begins to make unpleasant, grinding sounds. This complains about the lack of lubrication of the gearbox – the most intensively loaded unit of the device. And soon, these “warnings” may be followed by jamming of the drive …
What grease should be used for the trimmer gearbox?
In the process, the mechanical part of the trimmer is loaded with contact forces on the teeth, resistance reactions from adhering grass (sometimes with dirt), dynamic, impact loads due to constantly changing torque. The grease for the trimmer gear must fully take into account these features, so the selection of the brand must be strictly individual.
The following factors are taken into account:
Brand of the manufacturer. Each brand is not unreasonably oriented on lubricants of its own manufacture (you can talk about cheap Chinese products later). This applies to manufacturers such as Husqvarna, Stihl, Huter, Makita, etc. The exception is domestic trimmers: for example, Caliber in the user manual does not indicate the brand of lubricant at all …
The viscosity of the lubricant. As you know, all lubricating compounds are divided into three groups – highly viscous (colloidal systems containing various additives), plastic compounds of universal use and solid lubricants that soften during operation.
Good adhesion to the surface of the gearbox parts, as a result of which the grease is not squeezed out into the gaps or out of the assembly.
Gearbox lubricant consumption rate. Here you have to rely on your own experience and the recommendations of specialists, since some trimmer manufacturers, relying on the availability of their own service centers, generally do not give clear recommendations regarding the period of operation of the gearbox between two lubrications.
The lubricant consumption also depends on the temperature at which it retains its lubricity. When the gearbox is heated to 40 ° C, it is considered that its operating conditions are satisfactory, and there is enough lubrication.
It is believed that there is no universal lubricant for the trimmer gear, but this is not entirely true. In fact, a suitable lubricant will be one in which the following components are present:
Anti-wear additives containing no toxic lead;
Solid lubricants with the presence of graphite or molybdenum disulfide (the latter is preferable, since the lubricity is fully preserved for a wide range of shaft revolutions);
Only mineral (inorganic!) Oils with a high degree of purification.
These requirements are fully met by Gear Grease OREGON or Champion EP-0 lithium greases, domestic compositions Oleo-Mas, Litol.24, or Azmol 158, as well as those recommended by the manufacturer of a particular trimmer model.
How to lubricate the trimmer gear?
In the upper part of the housing, where the gear block is installed, there is a technological hole, which, when the trimmer is operated, is plugged with a screw. This screw is unscrewed, and 1.5 … 2 ml of grease is introduced into the hole using the nozzle on the tube. If the lubricant was purchased in a different packaging, then for this operation, a regular disposable medical syringe is also suitable.
After that, the screw is installed in its original place. This procedure, regardless of the user’s recommendations, should be performed every 10 … 15 hours of operation of the trimmer in operating mode. Other reasons for updating or replacing the gearbox lubricant are independent minor maintenance work (for example, cleaning and washing the gearbox gear before the summer season), repair of the unit, preservation of the trimmer for the winter period, etc.
If the gear unit is disassembled, it is recommended to completely remove the remains of the previous grease from the surface of the parts, even if it does not have any signs of oxidation and contamination. And only then apply new grease. After applying the lubricant, it is recommended to turn the shaft manually several times, and make sure that the lubricant is evenly distributed over all parts of the gearbox.
When lubricating, special attention is paid to the following elements:
Flywheel: on its surface, as a rule, the remnants of grass adhere intensively, and thickened grass juice creates additional resistance.
The starter coil dog, which is constantly in contact with the grooves on the flywheel when the drive is turned on. In this case, not only mechanical wear occurs, but also mechanochemical corrosion of the flywheel-dog joint, since the materials for this pair are different (the flywheel is aluminum and the dog is steel).
Bearings, if their seals are worn, and through them the grease is squeezed out. In this case, the unit begins to vibrate intensively when loaded. This happens with Chinese-made trimmers, so it’s worthwhile in the future to think about replacing the bearing assembly with a better one, for example, from the Swedish company SKF.
Lubricants during intimacy are used by many couples. This substance perfectly replaces natural lubricant. But not always a lubricant is nearby at the right time.
How can I replace intimate lubrication?
First of all, it is necessary to find out the distinctive properties of such a lubricant. As a rule, it is a gel-like or creamy substance with a moisturizing effect. The lubricant performs the following functions:
Creates a protective film on the genitals of both Partners, protecting them from tears and various injuries;
Provides a "pleasant" glide of the genitals;
Protects partners from infections;
Introduces additional feelings into the sexual intercourse, prolongs the sexual intercourse;
Cares for sensitive skin in intimate places.
What is the best way to replace intimate lubrication?
Experts recommend 3 types of such tools:
Water based lubricants.
Intimate oil-based gels.
Silicone based gels.
Based on the above, a logical question may arise whether it is possible to use petroleum jelly instead of intimate lubrication. Purely theoretically, this option is quite possible, because petroleum jelly is part of many factory lubricants. But doctors categorically do not recommend using it during sexual intercourse. In large quantities, that is, concentrated, petroleum jelly negatively affects the vaginal flora. After intercourse with petroleum jelly, a woman may have health problems. Therefore, a high-quality substitute for petroleum jelly can be a baby petroleum jelly soap, which is sold at any pharmacy.
Baby cream, well moisturizing the skin, having a high-quality chemical composition should also not be used during sex as an additional lubricant. The fats contained in the cream cannot dissolve on their own, and when they enter the genital mucosa, they become a favorable environment for the growth of harmful bacteria.
What can be used instead of intimate lubrication at home?
Clinical studies have confirmed the use of ordinary fruits instead of lubrication. It is not for nothing that the banana received its popular nickname. "Female joy"! It is banana and water that will help if your favorite lubricant is over. Lubrication is prepared as follows: a ripe banana is peeled, cut into pieces and chopped using a blender.
It will turn out a banana gruel. It must be placed in a small container with a lid (for this purpose a jar of cream is perfect), add a small amount of water. Natural intimate lubrication will not cause absolutely any allergic reactions, it will not irritate sensitive skin of the genitals. It will be a great moisturizer!
What is the best way to replace intimate lubrication?
Alternatively, you can use a mixture of water and starch. It can be made in a matter of minutes: a small amount of potato starch is poured with water; the resulting mixture is put on a small fire and, with occasional stirring, brought to the desired consistency. Thickened grease can only be used after it has completely cooled down.
Doctors Dermatovenerologists do not recommend strongly “getting carried away” with intimate lubricants of our own production. Their use should be treated with caution, carefully dosing all the ingredients. Otherwise, you can cause irreparable harm to health, cause an allergic reaction. When using natural lubricants during intimacy, experts advise especially carefully "listening" to the body’s reaction to such a lubricant. If you experience unpleasant sensations, then it is best to hurry to see a doctor!
Modern women can no longer imagine how it feels to live in the image that nature has created. And if the need for various plastic surgeries, changes in hair color, eyebrow shape is a moot point, and a woman is guided only by her opinion in order to resolve it, then the need to remove excess hair in the intimate area has long been a matter of beauty and hygiene.
What is a device
Veet Sensitive Precision trimmer is designed to combat excessive body hair of intimate areas, such as a bikini zone, armpits.
It is a white device powered by AA batteries. Complete with it there is a bag for storage, as well as three nozzles for various purposes:
To remove hair in the bikini area;
For trimming hair;
To remove facial hair (for example, under the eyebrows, above the lip).
This also includes a cleaning brush and instructions for use.
It’s important to know! It should be remembered that all shaving devices should be cleaned under running water! Do not wipe such devices with napkins or towels!
What manufacturers promise
Manufacturers guarantee quick and accurate removal of excess hair in areas requiring increased delicacy. Do not consider the device as an epilator.
The Veet trimmer (Vit) is intended for intimate depilation. That is, he will not tear out the hairs from the root, but carefully and carefully shave off unnecessary vegetation, removing it the first time. In this case, the process will do without cuts.
The small size of the device will allow manipulations in places difficult to access for the razor, also works well in the eyebrow area, trimming them to the desired length and thickness.
The device is small in size and does not take up much space on a shelf in the bathroom or in a cosmetic bag with travel accessories.
Features of the Veet device (Vit)
The creators of the device suggested that this trimmer will be used exclusively by women, hence this white-pink design. However, even many representatives of the stronger sex appreciated this useful and convenient thing to use, periodically borrowing it from their girlfriends or wives.
All because the device has a lot of advantages, which are difficult to pass by indifferently to every person who cares about their own external attractiveness and, of course, about health. The trimmer has many advantages, which we will talk about later.
1. Painless treatment
Not an epilator, Veet Sensitive Precision acts like a trimmer. He has a very small area of work of knives, therefore, he can not afford to perform a full haircut, but he was created not for this. Fine profile work is what the trimmer cares for. Due to the very quick, invisible to the eye, movement of the working knives, the trimmer cuts the hair without causing irritation and pain.
2. Ease of use
Veet Sensitive Precision is designed taking into account the peculiarities of female hands, small in size, therefore its shape is very ergonomic and convenient for a woman: the device fits in the palm of your hand without problems, does not fall out, does not slip – which is very important for working in the bathroom, as the situation it’s wet there. Even while shaving in the shower, the trimmer is very difficult to drop out of hand – its design is so thought out.
The device is equipped with a tread for convenience and to prevent slipping in the hand
3. Easy to use
In order to start working with the device, you do not need to study the multi-page instructions, as is the case with a home epilator, for example. Vit for intimate depilation is easy to maintain, just insert the battery, put the desired nozzle, turn on and start working in the desired zone.
While home-made epilators, not only do they cause pain, often also do not contain accompanying instructions in languages other than the language of the country of origin and English.
Therefore, to understand their work, a lot of preliminary preparation is required. Trimmer Wit will not create such problems for its owner. It is easy to use, and you can work with it on an intuitive level.
4. Safety at work
Impossible to cut with a trimmer. The fact is that his working knives are located far from the skin, and protected by nozzles, unlike a razor, which touches the epidermis directly and can leave a deep cut in case of careless handling.
For protection, nozzles on the blade of the device are designed
The Veet Sensitive Precision device has no cords, it runs on battery power, not on mains power, so nothing gets in the way at hand while processing the right areas of the body. In addition, the risk of electric shock is reduced to zero.
5. Does not injure the skin
Many razors are not designed to shave delicate, thin female skin, especially in intimate places. Machine depilation is often painful, traumatic, leaves cuts – in the worst case, and at best – red dots at the places of hair removal. Epilation is also painful and is accompanied by the risk of hair growth.
Trimmer wit removes hair gently and quickly.
The skin remains soft, smooth, the hair does not stretch, their structure is not broken, which subsequently does not lead to the risk of growing them under the upper layer of the dermis.
6. Multifunctionality of the device
Trimmer Vit can correct the vegetation in the bikini zone, in the axillary region, on the face – under the eyebrows, and even to shape the mustache and beard in men. What they use, but, perhaps, hide this information.
7. The possibility of home depilation
Not every woman will agree to a salon so that her intimate areas are processed by completely strangers. For a hair removal or depilation in a beauty salon, a certain amount of courage is often required, which not all representatives of the fair sex possess.
Video: How to Launch Wildberis Firm Trimmer
Trimmer Wit solves this problem, because, having it at his disposal, there is no need to fight his own modesty and embarrassment: you work where no one sees you.
8. Autonomy
It works without the use of additional tools in the form of foam or shaving gel.
Note! For best results, start hygiene before taking a bath. First, shave off excess hair, and only after that proceed to water procedures. Using the appliance in the bath after washing and taking a steam room is not recommended!
Like all things, the trimmer has its drawbacks.
The disadvantages of the device
May not work well on very coarse and coarse hair. Sometimes such hair (especially often this happens with black hair) is not removed the first time. They can leave their follicles under the skin, which, translucent through the epidermis, leave the feeling that the vegetation is not completely removed. Only a professional epilator can cope with such a problem. Trimmer Vit for intimate depilation is not intended for pulling out hair follicles, therefore, it will not work with these “strokes” on the skin.
To correct the shape of the eyebrows, sometimes skill may be required., because the Vit trimmer works without problems only with sufficiently grown hairs on the eyebrows. If the eyebrows have an acceptable hair length, you may get the impression that the trimmer does not shave them. This is not so, just the difference is most noticeable when working with bushy and wide brow arches.

Many women are afraid of the inability to sharpen knives. With proper care of the device, including regular cleaning after each shaving and lubrication procedure, knife sharpening will not take a very long time. You may already be tired of the trimmer, and the knives will still be sharp and actionable.
Note! It is strictly forbidden to lubricate the knives with vegetable oil. For these purposes, it is allowed to use only special oil, in extreme cases – machine or sewing.
Epilator or depilator?
To correctly determine the mechanism of operation of the device, you should understand what is the main difference between the processes of hair removal and hair removal.
Epilation is the removal of a hair through its destruction with the obligatory destruction of the hair follicle. Epilation is carried out using a laser or electric current.
It is better to expose yourself to this procedure in specialized salons, as there is always a danger of injuring yourself or leaving scars on the skin when processing the cutting element with an inexperienced hand. Moreover, extreme accuracy is required when manipulating in such difficult and inaccessible areas as the armpits or the bikini area.
Depilation – getting rid of the cutting element by removing it without destructive effects on the hair bulb. You can depilate the hairs with a razor, shugaring, wax, various creams with a chemical effect on the hair root and, of course, with a trimmer.

The specifics of hair removal in intimate areas
In order to carry out painless hair removal in the intimate area, you need to know the properties of the hair in this area. Trimmer Vit successfully copes with its function, because its knives are sharpened for these properties.
Properties of hair in the intimate zone:
Hard – this is necessary in order to create an air gap that protects the groin from hypothermia and overheating;
Curly – the same function intended by nature. In addition, curly hair provides the best opportunity for evaporation of sweat and pheromones, attracting the opposite sex.
Subtleties of depilation in the bikini area:
It is better to use men’s razors, which are equipped with a floating head and many blades for more comfortable handling;
Depilation creams, shugaring can have consequences in the form of irritations, allergic reactions. Caution is required in use;
Hair removal, especially of poor quality, almost always leaves micro-scars and scars, which can become inflamed and lead to more extensive problems;
Depilation with a trimmer is almost always safe, as it eliminates cuts, and, consequently, inflammation, abscesses and unpleasant consequences in the form of hair ingrowth.
If the skin of the body is soft and thin, and the hair, on the contrary, is strong and stiff, after depilation there may be a risk of ingrown hairs under the skin. To prevent this from happening, remember simple skin care rules after trimmer treatment:
Once or twice a week, use body scrubs so that keratinized particles of the skin exfoliate and are removed;
With a razor you need to slide in the direction of hair growth, and with a trimmer – against growth, not vice versa;
Perform a light skin massage the day after the procedure so that the hairs that have grown during the night rise above the skin, and not grow into it.
