General power tool safety warnings
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
- Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
- Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
- Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- This device can be used by children aged 8 years and over and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the device and understand the resulting dangers. Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance tasks must not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.
- Do not use this appliance if you are tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs or medication.
- Do not leave the appliance unattended while it is in operation or is still hot.
- After use, place on a non-combustible surface and allow to cool completely before packing away.
- Always wear sturdy footwear and protective gloves.
- To avoid damage and risks due to improper use, observe the operating instructions and store them in a safe place!
- If you pass the appliance on to someone else, please also pass on the operating instructions.
NOTE
Spare parts not listed (such as switches) can be ordered via our call centre.
Appliance-specific safety instructions
- To avoid potential risks, damaged mains cables should be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service department or a similarly qualified person.
- The mains voltage must match the voltage specification (V) on the appliance!
- Connect the appliance only to a (Schuko) safety socket supplying alternating current.
- When using an extension cable, use only an earthed cable suitable for outdoor use!
- Additional protection is provided by the installation of a residual current device with a rated tripping current of no more than 30 mA.
- Careless use of the appliance can cause a fire.
- CAUTION! Remove the plug from the mains power socket immediately:
- in the event of malfunctions during operation
- before each cleaning
- during breaks in work
- after use
- Take care when using the appliance near flammable materials.
- Do not use in the presence of an explosive atmosphere.
- Do not operate the appliance for too long on the same spot. Pull it slowly towards you.
- Heat can be transferred to combustible materials which are hidden from view.
- Use the appliance outside only.
- Never use the appliance in a garage or in places where petrol or highly flammable substances may be stored.
- Dry wood, leaves, pine needles and dry grasses can easily catch fire. Therefore, remove any dry material from the surfaces being treated before starting work. Monitor the treated plants for some time after treatment. Even after some time has passed, a plant may still ignite and cause a fire.
- Staying in one position for too long can cause damage to the stone surfaces. To prevent the appliance from overheating, do not operate the appliance in one place for more than 10 seconds.
Additional safety instructions
CAUTION! Avoid the risk of injury or fire as well as health risks:
- In the event of danger, remove the mains plug from the socket immediately.
CAUTION! RISK OF BURNS!
Do not touch the hot parts of the appliance.
- Wear protective gloves.
- Do not use the appliance with wet hands.

Operation
Before use
NOTE
Push the loop of the extension cable into the provided strain relief 4 in the handle 2 and fix it to the bar provided.
Adjusting the telescopic handle
- Turn the quick release 6 anticlockwise to release it.
- Extend the telescopic handle 5 to the desired length.
- Turn the quick release 6 clockwise to lock it again.
Using the appliance
- Connect the appliance to a power socket (230 V alternating current) using an extension cable.
- Switch the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF switch 1.
The appliance is ready for operation after approx. 30 seconds.
WARNING!
Heating work is forbidden when protective cover 0 is closed, otherwise the appliance may be damaged due to over-concentrated heat.
-
Open the protective cover 0 by pressing the lever 7 from above with your foot. Tip the appliance backwards slightly to make it easier to open the protective cover 0.
The protective cover 0 opens. -
To kill weeds, move the heating element 9 over the plant to be treated for around 5–10 seconds (depending on the type of plant).
-
Tall plants will need to be trimmed before you can position the heating element 9 over them.
NOTE
-
This appliance is particularly suitable for removing weeds.
-
Weed killing is most effective at an early stage of vegetation growth.
-
The most suitable time is during spring.
-
The treatment is at its most intensive, the younger the plant is. However, the success of the treatment is not immediately visible. The visible section of the plant can also be burnt off with a longer exposure time/treat-ment.
-
Plants do not react immediately to the heat with the recommended treatment time.
The basic rule is: young, soft-leaved plants are most sensitive to the treatment. Afterwards, they are incapable of survival. -
Older plants with hard leaves, such as this-tles, must be treated more frequently at an interval of 1 to 2 weeks to dry out.
Winter-green grasses are extremely robust and require longer treatment. -
Initially, overgrown areas must be treated several times at short intervals in order to produce long-term success. Later on, treat-ment at longer intervals is sufficient.
-
Burning the plants off completely is not essen-tial. During heating, the leaf cells dry out and the weed will die.
-
Repeated treatment of certain types of weed may be necessary.
Shutting down
- Switch the appliance just let go of the ON/OFF switch 1.
- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
- Close the protective cover 0 by lifting the lever 7 from below with your foot. Tip the appliance backwards slightly to make it easier to close the protective cover 0.
The protective cover 0 closes.
- After use, always park the appliance on a flat, fireproof surface until the hot parts of the appliance have cooled down.
After use, the protective cover 0 and the heating element 9 remain very hot
for some time.
Allow the appliance to cool down for about 20 minutes. Do not leave the
appliance unat-tended during this cool-down phase.
Cleaning
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY! Always pull the mains plug out of the mains outlet and let the appliance cool down before you carry out any work on the appliance.
- Use a cloth or soft brush to clean the appliance.
- Never use petrol, solvents or cleaning agents that can damage plastic.
