Warning:
Safety & Electrical Connections
• This product is supplied with 3m
of 2-core electrical cable and a UK
plug. For connection to the mains
supply use only 2-core cable (ref
HO5 RN-F). This has a minimum
copper cross-section of 1mm
Polycloroprene-Rubber insulation.
• A 30mA maximum Residual Current
Device (RCD) MUST be fitted to the
mains supply.
Start Up - First Use
Ensure the switch (4) is set to 'OFF' (Fig.2 item A).
Connect the GREEN POWER EVOLUTION with an
extension cable to the power supply.
Hold the GREEN POWER EVOLUTION by the
handle and (noting the above mentioned Safety
Precautions) switch it on to the "Heating"
position (Fig.2 item B).
The device can take 45 seconds to reach
operating temperature.
To treat the weed, rest the nozzle on the ground,
placing it directly above the weed and hold in
that position for 3 seconds.
Weeds are killed by the thermal shock. The fast
temperature rise bursts the cells of the plant and
destroys the weed.
Repeat this procedure to treat other weeds
around the garden.
Keep the electrical cable well away from the
heated nozzle.
Barbecue Lighting Function
The GREEN POWER EVOLUTION can be used to
light charcoal barbecues.
Always follow the barbecue manufacturer's
instructions.
with
To light the charcoal, place it in the barbecue
2
as usual and position the nozzle within a few
centimetres from the charcoal. Make sure the
device is suitably positioned and stable and
directed at the centre of the barbecue. Switch
the device on to the 'heating' position (Fig. 2
item B). Leave it in the same position until the
charcoal starts to glow. This may take between
30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the
charcoal. When the charcoal is sufficiently hot,
it will turn red and flames may appear near the
nozzle. This indicates that the charcoal is lit.
Set the switch to the cooling position ( Fig2.itemC)
for at least 30seconds. After this, switch off. Stop
the device before removing it from the barbecue.
Allow the device to cool down before putting it
away (see next paragraph). Do not let the hot
parts of the device touch the power cable or
other flammable materials.
