How do you mix the gas for a Homelite weedeater and what kind of oil?

I have a Homelite Trimlite gas-powered weedeater and I need to know how to mix the gas and oil. Is there an oil specifically for a weedeater or can you use any small engine oil and in what porportion to the gas?

It's called 2-cycle or 2-stroke oil, and for the Homelite its a 50:1 ratio gas:oil.
That means if you mix 5 litres of gas add 100 mL oil.
