NOTE
► This appliance is particularly suitable for
removing weeds .
► Weed killing 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/
treatment .
► Plants do not react immediately to the heat
with the recommended treatment time .
The basic rule is:
young, soft-leaved plants are most sensitive to
the treatment . Afterwards, they are incapable
of survival .
► Older plants with hard leaves, such as
thistles, must be treated more frequently at
an interval of 1 to 2 weeks to 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 .
