   • Securely attach the main unit to the telescopic pole.
   • Attach the guide wheels to the main unit if desired for easier maneuverability during weed killing.
   • Select the appropriate nozzle (conical for weeding, flat for other uses) and attach it firmly to the hot air outlet.

Operating Instructions

Weed Killing Operation

1. Preparation: Ensure the device is properly assembled and connected to a suitable power outlet (2000W).
2. Power On: Switch on the device. The heating element will reach its operating temperature of 650°C in less than 1 minute.
3. Application:
   • Position the conical nozzle directly over the weed.
   • If using the guide wheels, roll the device slowly over the weeds, ensuring the nozzle maintains the ideal distance from the ground.
   • Apply the hot air jet to the weed for a few seconds. The goal is to heat the plant abruptly, destroying its cellular structure, not necessarily to burn it to ash.
   • Even if the leaves remain green initially, the weed's internal structure will be damaged, leading to its death within hours.
4. Post-Treatment: After a few hours, the treated weeds can be easily swept away.

Other Applications (with Flat Nozzle)

The Hammersmith Bionic Burner can also be used for other tasks:

• Grill and Fireplace Lighter: Use the flat nozzle to quickly ignite charcoal or wood. Direct the hot air stream onto the fuel until it catches fire.
• Paint and Varnish Removal: The hot air can soften old paint and varnish, making it easier to scrape off. Exercise extreme caution to avoid overheating surfaces or creating hazardous fumes.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, ensure the device is unplugged and completely cooled. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Nozzle Care: Periodically check the nozzles for any debris or blockages. Clean as necessary, ensuring the device is cool.
• Storage: Store the Bionic Burner in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Use the foldable stand for stable storage.
