5. Operation
• Plug the device to the mains outlet.

Notes
• Dry woods, leaves, pine needles and dry grasses may catch fire. Watch the treated
plants for some time after treatment.
• The best time to treat sprawl is in the spring. The results are not visible
immediately.
• Older plants with hard leaves, such as thistles, dry earliest after repeated
treatment at intervals of one to two weeks. Some types of grasses are extremely
robust and require a longer exposure to heat.
• The weed needs only be heated. Burning is not necessary. The cells of the leaves
dry out in this way and the weed dies.
• Certain weed species require repeated treatment.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

• The mains plug must be disconnected:
- When faults occurring during operation
- Before performing any cleaning
