CAUTION! Do not cover the ventilation openings during use.
CAUTION! RISK OF BURNS! Do not touch the hot nozzle.
1. HOT AIR GUN USE
WARNING!
• Before changing the nozzle, make sure that the nozzle has cooled down to prevent burns.
• Too high temperature can cause ignition of paint and plastics.
CAUTION! Do not breathe fumes during work.
• Select the best angle for working with the hot air gun using the button (7).
• Replace the head for use with the hot air gun (9, 10, 11).
• Plug in the appliance.
• Check that the head is not clogged before turning on the device.
• Switch the control switch to position II: the unit will start working.
• Allow the unit to warm up for about 1 minute to reach full operating temperature.
2. WEED BURNER USE
WARNING!
• Before changing the nozzle, make sure that the nozzle has cooled down to prevent burns.
• Too high temperature can cause ignition of paint and plastics.
CAUTION! Do not breathe fumes during work.
• Assemble an extension rod for weed burning.
• Install the weed burning nozzle (1).
• Plug in the appliance.
• Check that the head is not clogged before turning on the device.
• Switch the control switch to position II: the unit will start working.
• Allow the unit to warm up for about 1 minute to reach full operating temperature.
• Weed disposal is most effective during the growing season.
• The best time for disposal is spring.
• Disposal has the greatest effect on young plants. It does not have to be obvious right away that it was successful. The
visible part of the plant may burn during extended exposure.
• For effective action and disposal, hold the nozzle about 0 to 5 cm above the weed for about 5 seconds. During this
short time, the cell structure will be destroyed and, as a result, weeds will die within a few days.
• It is not necessary to completely burn the plant.
• Plants do not respond immediately to thermal radiation during the recommended exposure time.
• Young plants with soft leaves are the most sensitive to the process and will not survive.
• Older plants with hard leaves, such as thistles, have to be exposed to the heat several times with intervals of one to
two weeks to dry out.
• Still green plant species are very durable and require more care.
• You must treat the overgrown areas several times at short intervals to ensure long-term effects. Then take care at
longer intervals.
• Some weeds need to be exposed to heat repeatedly.
