• The device may only be used with the handles attached.
Nozzle
• Slide the protruding points of the weed burner nozzle as far as possible into the
slots of the burner nozzle. Twist the nozzle approximately one centimetre into the
slot. The long side of the cap must be on top (this is the side where the switch is
located).
Switching On-Off
• Connect the device to the mains and switch on. Select one of the two settings:
- position I: 50 °C
- position II: 600 °C
• Leave the device to warm up for at least 45 seconds.
• Hold the device at an angle of 45° away from the user.
• To eliminate weeds, gently waft the nozzle approximately 5 seconds over the weed.
Do not burn the plant completely, only the heat is needed. Keep the nozzle at a
distance of approximately 15 cm of the weed. Stronger weeds or woody stems
(wild grass, roots, etc.) may require a repeat application. If necessary, repeat this
procedure after a few days. Do not use this device on flower beds or lawns.

off the device and disconnect from the mains after use. Place on its stand and leave

Remarks
• Dry woods, leaves, pine needles and dry grasses may catch fire. Watch the treated
plants for some time after treatment.
• The best time to treat sprawl is in the spring. The results are not visible immediately.
• Older plants with hard leaves, such as thistles, dry earliest after repeated treatment
at intervals of one to two weeks. Some types of grasses are extremely robust and
require a longer exposure to heat.
• The weed needs only be heated. Burning is not necessary. The cells of the leaves dry
out in this way and the weed dies.
