Application
Before using the device always make sure that the air intake openings as well as the air outlet
located on the conical nozzle are neither clogged nor covered.
Direct the nozzle of the device at the weed you wish to remove. Be aware that the effect the
heat has on the plants will not be visible immediately. Plants with soft leaves generally react
most sensitive to heat and only require a single treatment in order to be dealt with while older
plants and plants with harder leaves such as thistles require multiple treatments in intervals of
one to two weeks.
In order to succeed in permanently removing weeds, the treatment has to be more intense in
the beginning and requires repetition. Once the decline has become noticeable, the intervals
in between treatments can be increased.
Be aware that it is not necessary to burn the weeds; simple heating is already enough to dry
the leaves and thereby make sure the weeds are not viable anymore.
Maintenance
Turn the device off, ensure that it is not connected to the power supply and wait until all parts have
cooled down entirely, before performing any kind of cleaning, repair or maintenance work. Repairs and
in-depth maintenance should only be performed by professionally trained personnel. We advise the
use of a dry piece of cloth or a brush for cleaning purposes.
