Replacing cables and plugs
If the power cord of this device is damaged, contact our customer service
(information can be found on the back of this manual).
CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
This device is equipped with a cable clamp that prevents the power cable from
coming into contact with the hot parts of the device.
NOTE: Always use the cable clamp. Failure to use the cable holder can
damage the device and/or the power cord.
USING THE CABLE CLAMP (#2)
Push the cable through the opening on the handle. Form a loop with the cable.
Route the cable around the cable clamp, and draw the cable tight.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging material. Dispose of the packaging material. Place all
components included in the delivery in a safe place. Check whether all parts
are included as stated in the scope of delivery. If parts are missing or
faulty, please contact our customer service (contact details can be found on
the back of this manual).
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE & HANDLE (# 3)
When you receive delivery of the device, the extension pole and handle are not
yet assembled. To assemble, proceed as follows:
- Slide the extension pole into the fastening ring at the end of the device. Align the arrow mark on the extension pole with the „open lock“ symbol on the fastening ring.
- Push the extension pole into the fastening ring until the pole is in place.
- Now turn the bar anti-clockwise until the arrow mark on the handle aligns with the „closed lock“ symbol on the fastening ring.
MOUNTING THE GUIDE WHEELS (#4)
- Unscrew the holder for the guide wheels so that you can easily insert the wheels onto the guide rail at the rear of the device.
- Place the holder in the guide rail and slide the holder down towards the nozzle. Make sure that the cpoints towards the handle and lies behind the guide wheel holder.
- Now tighten the holder using the side wheel.
- SELECTING THE POSITION: You can choose between 3 positions. The guide wheels can click into 3 different pre-set positions, and can be fixed using the side wheel.
USE
GETTING STARTED
- Before use of the device, attach the extension pole with handle as described above.
- Secure the cable using the cable guide and cable clamp.
- Attach the desired attachment as described in the section „Changing attachments“.
- Connect the power cord.
Switching on:
- Point the hot air nozzle with the desired attachment away from the body.
- Slide the on/off switch into the desired position. You can choose between 2 settings:
– Position I – 60°C (cooling)
– Position II – 650°C (weed killing, paint removal, grill lighter – nozzle optionally available) The air volume in both positions is 500l/min.
CHANGING ATTACHMENTS (#5)
DEVICE MUST BE SWITCHED OFF, DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS, AND COOLED!
- There are 2 dot markings on the left and right of both attachments.
- Align these with the guide rail on the hot air nozzle.
- Slide the attachment into the guide and lock the attachment in an anti-clockwise direction. Make sure that the attachment is securely locked in place.
CLEAR WEEDS (LEVEL 2) – CONE NOZZLE or CREVICE NOZZLE
- Slide the On/Off switch to position II. Allow the device to heat up for approx. 45 seconds. Make sure that you do not allow the nozzle to rest on sensitive surfaces such as wood, as this could lead to scorch marks.
- Hold the conical or crevice nozzle over the weeds for at least 5 seconds. In the case of stronger weeds or plants with thick, deep roots (e.g. dandelions) increase the duration of application. During this process, the cell structure of the weeds is destroyed. This usually kills the weeds within 24 hours. It is not necessary to completely burn the weeds. A few seconds are sufficient – even if the visible part of the weed still appears green, this is completely normal and does not represent a shortcoming. The effect will be visible in the next few hours.
- For efficient treatment, the nozzle should be max. 3 cm above the weeds. Never place the conical or crevice nozzle directly on the floor, this could lead to a build-up of heat and damage to the device!
NOTES & TIPS:
- The thicker the root, the longer you should hold the device over the plant in order to achieve the lasting effect of permanent weed removal. For weeds with particularly thick and/or deep roots (e.g. dandelions) it may be necessary to repeat the treatment several times at intervals of 1-2 weeks.
- Overly moist soil or damp roots can reduce the effectiveness of the device. In such a case, repeat the treatment in drier conditions if necessary. Therefore, never use the device immediately after it has rained, as this could impair the desired effect.
Cooling down and switching off the device:
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! First slide the On/Off switch to the “I” position for at
least 1 minute (capital letters and bold). Only after this should you set to
position “0” to switch off the device. Now fold in the guide wheels and the
stand (metal bracket on the front underside of the device) and lay down the
device so that the front part of the device rests on the stand. If you use the
device as a hand-held device – i.e. without the handle and wheels – fold out
the stand (metal bracket on the front underside of the device), lay the device
on it, and allow the device to cool down. Make sure that you do not allow hot
parts of the device to rest on sensitive surfaces such as wood, as this ould
lead to scorch marks.
LIGHTING A GRILL (LEVEL 2) – Grill lighter nozzle (available as an option
– information on the package)
- The grill lighter nozzle is intended for lighting your grill or fireplace. Attach the grill lighter nozzle as described under “Exchanging the attachment”.
- Slide the On/Off switch to the 2nd position. Allow the device to heat up for approx. 45 seconds.
- Place the nozzle under the coal or wood. Make sure that the plastic casing of the device is not exposed to direct heat!
- Remove the device from the coals or wood as soon as they start to glow.
- Now direct the nozzle at the coals or wood from a distance of approx. 10-20 cm, until the coal or wood has reached the desired temperature.
- This will prevent the nozzle from being exposed to excessive temperatures in the coals, and being damaged. It also prevents the casing from deforming as a result of the temperature.
- Turn off the device before removing it from fire.
RISK OF JAMMING DUE TO OVERHEATING – Only ever use the optionall
available grill lighter nozzle for briefly lighting an outdoor grill or
fireplac This nozzle is not suitable for removing weeds in narrow spaces (e.g.
crevices). There is a risk of heat build-up as a result of prolonged usewhich
can lead to damage to the device!
SWITCHING OFF THE DEVICE: Slide the on/off switch to position 0.
COOLING & SAFE STORAGE
Before the device is completely switched off, it must be cooled down. Slide the on/off switch to position „I“ for at least one minute. After this, the device can be switched off. The device can be placed on the stand while it cools down. Never leave the device unattended. Make sure that the device has cooled down completely before storage.
CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING! Before carrying out any cleaning work, remove the plug from the
mains, and ensure that the device has cooled down completely.
Keep the safety devices, ventilation openings and the motor housing free of
dust and dirt. Wipe the device with a clean cloth, or blow it clean with low-
pressure compressed air. We recommend cleaning the device after each use.
Clean the device regularly with a damp cloth and some mild detergent. Do not
use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents – these can damage the plastic
parts of the device. Make sure that no water enters thedevice.
