Draper Weed Burner - 2000W

The Draper Weed Burner uses intense heat (thermal shock) to rupture the plant cells of weeds. This causes the weed to wilt and die within a few days without the need for chemicals. You do not need to burn the weed to a crisp, just wilt it.

No, this weed burner is designed for outdoor use only and should never be used in wet conditions or rain. Always ensure the area is dry before operation to prevent electrical hazards and reduce fire risk.

The two heat settings provide versatility. The lower setting might be suitable for lighter weed wilting or more delicate areas, while the higher 2000W setting delivers maximum heat for stubborn weeds or for quickly lighting charcoal.

You switch functionality by changing the nozzle. The product comes with an interchangeable nozzle specifically designed for charcoal lighting. Ensure the unit is cool before changing nozzles and follow the instructions for secure attachment.

Extreme caution should be exercised when using near desired plants or lawns. The concentrated heat can damage any vegetation it comes into contact with. Always maintain a safe distance and consider using a protective barrier if working close to plants you want to keep.

The Draper Weed Burner comes with a 1.7-meter (approximately 5.6 feet) power cable, providing a decent reach for most outdoor tasks. For larger areas, a suitable outdoor-rated extension cord may be required.

After ensuring the unit has completely cooled down, detach the handle for more compact storage. Store the burner and its accessories in a dry, safe place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and out of reach of children and pets.

Check if the power cable is securely plugged into a functioning 230V outlet. Ensure the selected heat setting is appropriate (check if it's on a low setting). Allow a few moments for the element to heat up fully after switching on.

Ensure you are applying the heat directly to the base of the weed for a sufficient duration (typically a few seconds until wilting). For larger or more resilient weeds, a slightly longer application or a higher heat setting may be required. Consider repeating the treatment after a few days if necessary.

Ensure the nozzle and burner head are clean and free from debris. Follow the specific instructions in your user manual for attaching and detaching nozzles. Do not force it; apply gentle pressure and twist if required.

Always allow the burner to cool down completely on its fixed stand after use. This can take several minutes. Once cool, detach the handle for compact storage as designed by the manufacturer.
