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.
