• Pressing the burner handle’s “trigger” (7)
activates the burner’s operating mode.
The maximum � ame can be adjusted, if
necessary, by turning the regulator up or
down.
• Once the “trigger” is released, the burner
returns to its gas-saving pilot light.
Switching off
Close the regulator on the gas bottle. Only
close the adjustment valve on the gas burner
once the � ame has gone out so that the last
of the gas in the hose and pipe is burnt off .
Assembling the frame
1. Assemble the 2 parts of the frame, which
click together.
2. Attach the wheels on either side of the
trolley by pushing them onto the axles.
Then slide a washer to the axle and � nally
insert the small catch through the hole
on the outside of the axle and bend the
ends so that it cannot fall out and thus
secures the wheel behind the washer.
3. The chain is used to secure the gas bottle.
Cleaning and maintenance
Allow the weed burner to cool completely.
Blow the weed burner clean with
compressed air or wipe it down using a well-
wrung cloth.
Important!
A weed burner operates at very
high temperatures and can easily ignite
buildings, fences, nature, etc.
If you use the weed burner, you need to be
aware of the instructions below.
Treating weeds using a � ame is an
environmentally-friendly method of weed
control, but also requires full attention and
responsible use of the equipment.
1. The weeds should not be burned, but
seared. Flame-treating weeds, i.e. brie� y
searing them, destroys the cell walls in
the leaves, causing the plant to die within
a few days.
2. Do not use in drought periods or windy
weather. Only use the weed burner if the
ground is damp or water the area before
use. Always keep � re extinguishing
equipment or a bucket of water nearby.
3. Keep clear of dry leaves or other
combustible material. Do not use the
weed burner near buildings, bushes and
cars, and ensure the � ame always points
away from � ammable objects.
4. Always monitor the � ame and never
leave a lit burner. Remember the burner
is hot after use. Always keep the burner
away from children and animals – both
during use and storage.
5. Always check for embers and
smouldering plant residues after use.
Also check the treated areas a few times
after work to ensure that there are no
embers. Once you have � nished work,
always disconnect the regulator from the
gas bottle and make sure that the weed
burner is completely cold before packing
it away.
