in the handle and
♦ Switch the appliance on by pressing the ON/
OFF switch . The full operating temperature is
reached after approx . 1 minute .
♦ To kill weeds, now place the cone nozzle
onto the plant to be treated for around 5-10
seconds depending on the type of plant .
♦ For taller plants, first only heat the upper section
of the plant briefly and then place the cone
nozzle against the shrunken plant for ap-
prox . 5-10 seconds .
NOTE
► This appliance is particularly suitable for
removing weeds .
► Weedkilling is most effective at an early
stage of vegetation growth .
► The most suitable time is during spring .
► The treatment is at its most intensive the
younger the plant is . However, the success
of the measure is not immediately visible .
The visible section of the plant can also be
burnt off with a longer exposure time/treat-
ment .
► Plants do not react immediately to the heat ra-
diation with the recommended treatment time .
The following applies as a basic principle:
young, soft-leaved plants react most sensi-
tively to treatment . They are subsequently no
longer capable of survival .
► Older plants with hard leaves such as thistles
must be treated more frequently at an interval
of between 1 and 2 weeks in order to make
them dry out .
Winter-green grasses are extremely robust
and require longer treatment .
► To begin with, overgrown areas must be
treated several times at short intervals in
order to produce long-term success . After this,
treatment at longer intervals is sufficient .
► Burning the plants off completely is not essen-
tial . During heating, the leaf cells dry out and
the weed will die .
► Repeated treatment of certain types of weed
may be necessary .
