FAQs

Does this burner kill the roots of the weeds?

By destroying the plant's cell structure, it effectively stops the plant from growing and eventually kills it, though deep-rooted perennials may require repeated treatment.

Can I use this on wooden decking?

No, it is not recommended to use this tool on wooden decking or near any flammable surfaces, as the intense heat poses a significant fire risk.

How long does a gas cylinder last?

Usage depends on the intensity of the flame set, but the adjustable valve is designed to provide economical consumption for extended operation.

Is the handle adjustable?

The burner has a fixed length of 80cm to maintain the ergonomic posture for the user.

What type of gas cylinder does it take?

It is designed to be compatible with standard gas cylinders that fit the proprietary locking system; verify your local cylinder specifications against the device connection.

Troubleshooting

The device will not ignite

Ensure the gas cylinder is properly installed and that the gas flow valve is slightly open. Check if the piezo ignition is producing a spark.

Weak flame or low heat output

The gas cylinder may be running low. Check the cylinder and replace if necessary. Also, ensure the nozzle is clear of obstructions.

Gas smell during operation

Immediately shut off the flame and turn the gas supply valve to the off position. Check that the cylinder is locked correctly and verify the seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the burner is straightforward: ensure the gas control valve is firmly in the 'off' position before attaching your gas cylinder to the locking mechanism. Always verify that the connection is secure before igniting. To maintain the device, keep the burner nozzle free from dirt and debris. After every use, disconnect the gas cylinder from the unit and store it in a cool, well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Regularly inspect the hose or connection point for any signs of wear or degradation. Avoid using the device on excessively windy days, as the flame may become unstable, reducing its effectiveness and increasing safety risks.
