Operation; Before Operation - Parkside PUV 2000 B1 Manual De Instrucciones

Always remove the plug from the
■
power socket during work breaks,
when adjusting the appliance (e.g.
changing nozzles) and when it is
no longer in use.
Keep the nozzle at a distance from
■
the workpiece or the area being
processed. A build-up of hot air can
result in damage to the appliance.
The appliance must always be
■
kept clean, dry and free from oil or
grease.
Never use the appliance for purpos-
■
es other than the ones for which it
was designed.

HINWEIS
► The cable must be routed in the device as
shown in figure A. Insert the cable with a
loop into the unit. It must not exceed the
housing of the appliance. The cover of the
housing must be easy to install. Make sure
that the cable is not pinched.
♦ Place the cover on the device and screw it with
the supplied mounting screws (see Fig. A).
Mount the stand
♦ Attach the stand
Operation
♦ Push the loop of the extension cable into the
provided strain relief
fix it to the bar provided.

♦ 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 noz-
zle against the shrunken plant for approx.
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 sensit-
ively 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.
