STARTING THE INFRARED WEEDER

CAUTION: Only turn 'ON' and use the device

outdoors. Always keep the device away from

people and animals.

- Holding the handle of the device with the burner just

above a non-flammable floor turn the valve on the

handle fully to the "ON" position (Fig 9 or 10).

- Wait approximately 20 seconds for the low pressure

gas to travel to the burner, then ignite the gas by

pressing the red piezo ignition button until you hear the

'click' then release the button. You may hear a sound

when the gas ignites and this is quite normal.

- If you do not hear any sound of the gas ignition and

the burner does not appear to get hot after a few

seconds then press the ignition button again to repeat

the ignition process.

- If you lift the burner vertically keeping the burner plate

facing towards the ground and look underneath you

will see the colour glow of the burner approximately a

minute after the gas has ignited (Fig 12).

- If you try several times to ignite the gas without

success, turn the gas valve on the handle to the 'OFF'

position. Wait until the gas has dispersed into the

atmosphere (5min) and then turn on the valve and try

the ignition again.

- After ignition the burner will take up to 1 minute to get

to an adequate operating temperature from cold.

CAUTION: Do not shake the device and keep the

burner plate facing towards the ground when

the gas is on, because a large flame may form.

Removing weeds

CAUTION: Accessible parts may become very

hot. Keep young children and pets away from

the appliance. We recommend wearing protective

clothing to avoid possible burns.

- Place the Infrared Weeder directly on top of the weed

and wait a few seconds.

- You do not need to apply any additional downward

force during the weeding.

- Avoid placing the burner surface on any raised solid

objects that could damage the grill underneath the

burner.

- Smoke may be emitted from the product during

weeding. This is normal, it is an indicator that the

weeding is done correctly (Fig. 11)

- On patios and driveways, the Infrared Weeder can be

moved slowly on its wheel over the weeds and pausing

for longer as needed on any more stubborn weeds.

- This wheel is not intended to allow the weeder to

stand alone unattended for safety reasons.

- Heat the weed for a few seconds, the plant cells will

dry out and the weeds are destroyed in 2 to 3 days.

Several treatments spaced in time may be needed on

resistant and tenacious weeds.

WARNING: Fire Hazard surface in heavy dry soil.

- The heating torch must be used away from

flammable materials and kept 2m from walls and

ceilings.

- Keep the Infrared burner pointing downwards level

with the ground, for safety as excessive flames may

result and to help prevent the wind blowing out the

flame.

- If using a gas hose and adaptor avoid twisting the

hose and check that connections remain tight during

use.

After use

- At the end of work and if using a gas cartridge, turn

the valve of the product to the 'OFF' position to shut the

flame off (Fig 13).

- When the product is new there can be some smoke

seen emanating from the product in the area of the

burner after the valve on the handle has been turned

'OFF'. This is quite normal and will cease to occur after

a few uses.

- Unscrew the gas cartridge clockwise, when viewed

from above the handle. Never store the device with

the gas cartridge connected (Fig 13). We recommend

that you do not throw away the cap protecting the gas

cartridge and that you put it back on after each use of

the cartridge to prevent dust from affecting the gas

flow.

-If you have used a gas bottle, ensure the gas is turned

off at the gas bottle first, then when the flame goes out

turn off the valve on the Infrared Weeder (Fig 14).

- The gas containers should only be changed in a well-

ventilated location, preferably outside, away from any

sources of ignition, such as naked flames, pilot lights,

electric fires and away from other people.

CAUTION: Product external surfaces can remain

very hot for up to 15 minutes after the gas is

turned 'OFF' therefore rest the weeder on a

surface that will not burn. Store, pack or transport the

product once it has cooled.

- Store the device and the gas container in a cool, dry,

and well-ventilated place.
