6.2 User information

The device is particularly suitable for the removal of weeds.
The device is most effective if the plant has a high sap content. The best time for treating
wild growth is in the spring. The effect is more intense, the younger the growth is. Howev-
er, the results are not immediately visible. Visible parts of the plant can also be burned as
part of a longer exposure time.
The sensitivity of the plants to the heat radiation is not immediately evident during the
recommended exposure time. In principle, the following applies: soft-leaved seedlings are
the most sensitive, in other words, they will not survive a single treatment.
Older plants with hard leaves, such as thistles, will dry out after several treatment at inter-
vals of one to two weeks. Sclerophyllous grasses are extremely robust and require a longer
time for the heat to take effect.
In the initial phase, wild growth growing on/through surfaces should be treated briefly sev-
eral times. Only then are lasting results guaranteed.
After this, treatments at longer intervals will be sufficient.
Weeds need only be heated. It is not necessary to burn them. This dries out the Cells of the
leaves and the weed dies back.
Certain weed species require repeated treatment.
The device is also suitable for rekindling glowing embers in a charcoal grill in the open
7
air. Hold the conical nozzle of the switched-on device close to the charcoal. As soon as
the charcoal embers begin to glow, the hot air flow will rekindle the flame. Then hold
the device further away from the charcoal.
CAUTION! Fire hazard caused by flying sparks!
Hold the device at a distance from the charcoal to avoid sparks.
