EUROM Weedburner XXL Mode D'emploi page 17

 Connect the gas hose to the pressure regulator (or the hose breakage protector) and the
handle; the thread on the hose connector turns to the left.
 Check to make sure that all connections are secure and then carry out a leak test (see: GAS
LEAK TEST). If you do not find any leaks, you may start up the device.
 Make sure that all taps and valves are closed.
 First open the tap on the gas bottle.
 Now slightly open the gas supply regulator tap on the handle (turn to the left). If you open
this too far, the gas pressure will blow out your flame! Let the air escape from the hose and
device and wait until you hear the hissing sound of escaping gas.
 Now press the red ignition button to ignite the flame at the end of the lance. A yellow,
'rustling' flame will now appear (the 'break' flame).
 Increase gas pressure by further opening the regulator on the handle (to the left). The flame
will expand but stay yellow and flickering. Prevent the flame getting too large as this will
reduce effectiveness and temperature.
 Squeezing the handle will set the burner to full power and create a sleek, blue flame. The
output depends on how far the tap has been opened.
 Point the flame downwards and away from you.
 Position the flame around 10 to 15cm above the weed and heat it until it shrinks back. Move
the flame gently back and forth. This is all you need to do; the weeds will die back after a
few days. Stubborn weeds may require a second treatment.
 Release the handle to briefly interrupt work; the gas supply will reduce and the yellow 'break'
flame will return. Decrease gas pressure, if necessary, by tightening the regulator tap.
 If you wish to stop working, turn the gas bottle tap until it closes. Let the weed burner burn
off the gas from the hose and it will then go out. Now you can turn the handle to the right to
close.
 Take care! The weed burner gets very hot during use! Leave it in a safe place where it
cannot cause any damage; leave to cool before disconnecting and clearing away.
 Take care! Never leave the 'break' flame on if you are stopping work for more than a few
seconds and are setting the weed burner aside!!!
 If you stop work or take a longer break, or you need to move the device, you must
disconnect the hose from the gas bottle. Always transport a gas bottle in the upright position!
 Never try to refill a gas bottle or change it in any way!
GAS LEAK TEST
Before every use, carry out a gas leak test:
 Make sure that the gas supply is closed.
 Carry out the check with a full gas bottle.
 Make a soapy solution using one part liquid soap to one part
water.
 Apply the soap solution to the whole system, particularly
the connections, the hose connections and the possible
location of a leak, using a spray bottle, brush or cloth.
