Working instructions
Weed killer
• The conical nozzle (7) is best suited to
remove weeds.
• The best time to begin removing weeds
is the spring.
• Weed removal is most effective when
the plant is still young.
• The success of actions using the tool
will not be immediately visible (see
illustration
).
• Depending on the plant type, it may
not respond immediately to the heat for
the recommended exposure time.
- Young, soft-leaved plants are sensi-
tive to the treatment and afterwards
they are no longer viable.
- Hard-leaved grasses are very robust.
They have to be treated more fre-
quently.
- Older plants and plants with hard
leaves, such as thistles, have to be
treated more regularly at 1-2 week
intervals in order to successfully dry
them out.
• The visible part of the plant can also
be scorched for a longer exposure time
during treatment.
• Scorching the plants is not absolutely
necessary. Heating them dries out the
leaves and any weeds die.
• When treating areas filled with roots,
you will have to repeat treatments sev-
eral times in short periods for lasting
success. After this, longer treatment
intervals will suffice.
• With some weeds, you may have to
repeat the treatment.
Assembly
Assembling the tool:
1. Place the tool on a flat surface.
2. Place the tool cable (15) in the tool so
that it is not pinched by the extension
tube (3) nor protrudes over the tool
housing (5) (see illustration
1
).
It is helpful to put the cable in a loop
so that it takes up less space.
3. Place the housing cover (16) on the
tool and secure it with the two Phillips
screws supplied (see illustration
2
).
The housing cover (16) must be easy
to put on. If necessary, check whether
the tool cable (15) was pinched during
installation.
Mounting the stand bracket:
4. Attach the stand bracket (8) by first
hanging it in one of the two holes and
then placing it in the opposite hole on
the tool housing (5) by pulling gently
(see illustration 3
).
Initial start-up
When used for the first time, some smoke
may escape. The smoke is caused by bind-
ers which are removed from the insulating
film of the heater by the heat during first
use.
To achieve a quick discharge, the tool
should be placed on the standing bracket
(
8).
Be sure to ventilate the working environ-
ment during first use. If the smoke/odour
is too strong, move the initial start-up to
outside!
