12. Commissioning
m Attention!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
m Attention!
Some smoke can come out of the device after its
first use. However, this is normal.
12.1 Connecting the cable, fig. 5
1.
Push the extension cable into the intended strain
relief (5) in the handle (4). To do this, form a loop,
guide the loop through the opening and hook it to
the other side.
2.
Fix the mains cable (7) into the intended cable clip
(6).
3.
Connect the device to a socket (230 V alternating
current) using an extension cable.
12.2 Switching the device on, fig. 7
1.
Select the desired working temperature and air
quantity using the on/off switch (2):
Switch setting 0:
Device is switched off.
Switch setting 1:
1. Level – 50°C
Switch setting 2:
2. Level – 600°C
2.
The device reaches the working temperature in a
very short time.
12.3 Switching the device off, fig. 6, 7
1.
Set the on/off switch (2) to the I position. The
device then cools down.
2.
To finally switch the device off, set the on/off switch
(2) to the 0 position.
3.
After use, always place the device with the stand
(9) on a flat, fireproof surface until the hot device
parts have cooled.
13. Weed killing
• The device is particularly suitable for the removal of
weeds.
• To remove weeds, place the cone nozzle (10) on the
plants to be treated for approx. 5-10 sec. depending
on the type of plant.
• With taller plants, first heat only the upper area of
the plant and then place the cone nozzle (10) on the
shrivelled plant for approx. 5-10 sec.
24 | GB
• Weed removal is most effective at an early stage of
vegetation growth.
• The most suitable time is spring.
• Treatment is most intensive the younger the plant
is. However, the success of the measure is not
immediately apparent.
• The visible part of the plant can also be burned due
to a long exposure time/treatment.
• The plants do not react immediately to the heat
rays at the recommended exposure duration. In
principle:
Young, smooth leaved plants are most sensitive to
the treatment. They are however no longer viable.
• Older plants with harder leaves, such as thistles,
must be treated more often at an interval of approx.
1 - 2 weeks so that they dry up.
Hard-leaved grasses are very robust and need to be
treated for longer.
• At the start, the treatment of overgrown areas
must be repeated several times at short notice so
that lasting success is achieved. Then treatment at
longer intervals is sufficient.
• Burning the plant is not absolutely necessary. When
heated up, the cells of the leaves dry up and the
weeds die.
• Repeated treatment of certain types of weeds may
be necessary.
14. Additional work examples
14.1 Defrosting of water pipes
NOTE
• PVC tubes must not be defrosted.
• Externally, water pipes are often indistinguishable
from gas pipes. If in doubt, always ask a specialist.
• Copper pipes are connected with tin and must not be
heated over 200°C.
14.2 Loosening screw connections
• Heat up the screw connection carefully with hot air.
The screws can then usually be loosened easily.
14.3 Dewaxing
• Free skis / snowboard or a candlestick from residual
wax, with the care appropriate to the product.
