3. OPERATION
Intended use:
• Eliminating weeds from hard, non-flammable
surfaces such as patios, driveways and paths.
• Lighting a barbecue or fire pit.
Assembly (Fig. B, C1, C2)
• Insert the telescopic handle (6) into the main
body. Observe the arrows for the correct orien-
tation of the handle (fig. B).
• The length of the telescopic handle may be
adjusted.
• Rotate the handle counter-clockwise to release
it and adjust the telescopic handle to the de-
sired length (fig. C1).
• Fixate the handle position by rotating the han-
dle clockwise (fig. C2).
• Loop the mains lead through the cable retainer
(7) on the handle.
Operation Eliminating weeds (Fig. E1, F)
• Check if the mains switch is in position "0"
before connecting the appliance to the power
outlet.
• Install the weed burning nozzle (1) and check to
ensure the nozzle is not blocked before switch-
ing the appliance on (fig. E1).
Ensure the mouth piece of the weed burner has
cooled down before changing the nozzle. The metal
nozzle and mouth piece will remain hot for some
time even after the machine has been switched off.
• Keep the mains lead always away from the hot
air stream and the mouth piece.
• Put the mains switch in the high-temperature
position 'II' to start the appliance.

• Allow the appliance about 45 seconds to reach
operating temperature.
• To eliminate weeds, hold the weed burner noz-
zle over the weed and slowly rotate around the
weed for about 5 seconds (fig. F).
• The cell structure of the weed will be destroyed
during these 5 seconds.
• After heating, the weed will die and it may be
left to naturally degrade over the next days.
It is unnecessary to completely burn the weeds to
a crisp. Trying to do so anyway will take nota-
bly longer than the recommended 5 seconds of
heating. Extended heating may leave visible scorch
marks on pavement and will needlessly slow the
progress of your work.
Do not use this appliance on dry grass or other
flammable surfaces. Do not use during during pe-
riods of drought, or in otherwise adverse weather
conditions.
Operation Barbecue / charcoal lighting (Fig. E2, G)
• Check if the mains switch is in position "0" before
connecting the appliance to the power outlet.
• Install the barbecue lighter nozzle (2) and check
to ensure the nozzle is not blocked before
switching the appliance on (fig. E2).
Ensure the mouth piece of the weed burner has
cooled down before changing the nozzle. The metal
nozzle and mouth piece will remain hot for some
time even after the machine has been switched off.
• Keep the mains lead always away from the hot
air stream and the mouth piece.
• Place the nozzle underneath the coal or wood
that is to be lit. Make sure that the appliance is
firmly positioned (fig. G).
• Put the mains switch in the high-temperature
position 'II' to start the appliance.
• Allow the appliance about 45 seconds to reach
operating temperature.
• Observe the operation and do not leave the
appliance unattended.
• Remove the appliance from underneath the
coals or wood once the coals or wood start to
glow.
• Keep blowing hot air into the glowing coal or
wood from a distance of 5-10cm until it is burn-
ing properly.
