• Maintain distance between the nozzle outlet and the surface or workpiece you are working on. The device could overheat.
• The device must always be kept clean, dry and free of oil or lubricating greases.

Assembly

Assembling the tool:

1. Place the tool on a flat surface.
2. Place the tool cable (15) in the tool so that it is not pinched by the extension tube (3) nor protrudes over the tool housing (5) (see illustration B 1 ). It is helpful to put the cable in a loop so that it takes up less space.
3. Place the housing cover (16) on the tool and secure it with the two Phillips screws supplied (see illustration B 2 ). The housing cover (16) must be easy to put on. If necessary, check whether the tool cable (15) was pinched during installation.

Mounting the stand bracket:

4. Attach the stand bracket (8) by first hanging it in one of the two holes and then placing it in the opposite hole on the tool housing (5) by pulling gently (see illustration B 3 ).

Initial start-up

When used for the first time, some smoke may escape. The smoke is caused by binders which are removed from the insulating film of the heater by the heat during first use.

To achieve a quick discharge, the tool should be placed on the standing bracket ( A 8 ).

Be sure to ventilate the working environment during first use. If the smoke/odor is too strong, move the initial start-up to outside!

Operation

Working instructions Weed killer

• The conical nozzle (7) is best suited to remove weeds.
• The best time to begin removing weeds is the spring.
• Weed removal is most effective when the plant is still young.
• The success of actions using the tool will not be immediately visible (see illustration ).
• Depending on the plant type, it may not respond immediately to the heat for the recommended exposure time.
  • Young, soft-leaved plants are sensitive to the treatment and afterwards they are no longer viable.
  • Hard-leaved grasses are very robust. They have to be treated more frequently.
  • Older plants and plants with hard leaves, such as thistles, have to be treated more regularly at 1-2 week intervals in order to successfully dry them out.
• The visible part of the plant can also be scorched for a longer exposure time during treatment.
• Scorching the plants is not absolutely necessary. Heating them dries out the leaves and any weeds die.
• When treating areas filled with roots, you will have to repeat treatments several times in short periods for lasting success. After this, longer treatment intervals will suffice.
• With some weeds, you may have to repeat the treatment.

Be aware that it is not necessary to burn the plants. Simple heating is sufficient to dry out the weeds and thus kill them.

Switching on and off

Switching the tool on :

1. Form a loop from the end of the extension cable and hook it into the strain relief (2) provided on the handle (10).
2. Insert the mains plug into a wall power outlet.
3. Switch on the tool by pressing the On/ Off switch (9).
   After approximately 1 minute, the tool will reach the full operating temperature.

Switching the tool off :

1. To turn off, release the ON/OFF switch (9).
2. After using the tool, always place it on the stand bracket (8) on an even, fireproof surface until the tool has cooled down.
3. Remove the mains plug from the power outlet.

Use of adapter nozzles

Before exchanging adapter nozzles, the adapter nozzle ( A 7 /11/12/ 13/14), blow-off pipe (17) and heat shield (6) must have cooled down sufficiently to avoid burns.

Various uses are possible. Always comply with the safety instructions and always handle the device with care and caution.

Restrictor

Place the restrictor (A 13) on the blow-off pipe (E 17). Use the restrictor (A 13) to obtain selective heat, e.g. to seal plastics (films, shrink tubing).

When using the restrictor (A 13), pay particular attention to the heat development at the cutting point. If in doubt, do not stay in the same place for too long in order to avoid overheating the workpiece.

Surface nozzle

Place the surface nozzle (A 12) on the blow-off pipe (E 17). Use the surface nozzle (A 12) to obtain heat over a large surface. It is especially suitable for dissolving adhesive or softening paints.

When using the surface nozzle (A 12), pay particular attention to the heat development in adjacent locations of the cutting point. So that in cases of doubt, no adjacent component is overheated.

Spatula nozzle

Place the spatula nozzle (A 11) on the blow-off pipe (E 17). The spatula form of the nozzle serves the purpose of the targeted hot air supply to paint and lacquer surfaces. The paints and lacquers can be removed with a spatula and scraper. The spatula ( A11) itself is not suitable for removing paint.

Grill lighter nozzle

Place the grill lighter nozzle (14) on the blow-off pipe (E 17).

Turn the device on using the on/off switch ( 9).

Place the grill lighter nozzle (14) below the charcoal. Make sure that the openings of the grill lighter nozzle (14) are not covered by charcoal as this creates heat accumulation in the unit, which is a potential fire hazard In just a few minutes the charcoal is ignited.

Never use other methods for igniting charcoal at the same time while using the grill lighter nozzle (14).

Use the grill lighter nozzle (14) only for the few minutes necessary to ignite the charcoal.

Never use the grill lighter nozzle (14) for any other application.

Conical nozzle

Place the conical nozzle (7) on the blow-off pipe (E 17). Use the conical nozzle (7) to remove weeds.

To eliminate weeds, use the conical nozzle on the plant to be removed for approx. 5-10 seconds. For higher plants, you can shrink them by briefly heating the upper part of the plant. Then, use the conical nozzle on the shrunken plant for 5-10 seconds. The ideal spacing is 3 cm (see illustration G).
