Notes
•
The most effective time to remove weeds is at an early stage of the beginning of the vegetation cycle.
•
It is not necessary to burn the plants completely. When you heat the plant, the cells in the leaves dry out and
the weed dies off.
•
Older plants with harder leaves, such as thistles, only dry out after several treatments at intervals of every one
to two weeks. Hard-leafed grasses are extremely robust and require longer heat exposure.
•
Certain types of weed may require repeated treatment. These plants do not react to the heat radiation
immediately after the recommended working time. In general, the following applies: Young plants with soft
leaves have the most sensitive reaction to treatment.
•
After approx. 1 minute, the device will
