5. Návod k obsluze

Připravte povrch:
Apply a layer of suitable adhesive (e.g., PVA glue, static grass glue) to the area where you wish to apply static grass. Ensure the glue is wet and tacky.
Connect Grounding Cable:
Attach the crocodile clip of the grounding cable to a small nail, pin, or conductive object inserted into the glued area. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the designated port on the applicator (usually a metal stud or socket).

Popis obrázku: A conceptual image would show the grounding cable connected to both the applicator and a pin in the glued surface.
Apply Static Grass:
Hold the applicator approximately 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) above the glued surface. Press and hold the activation button. Gently shake the applicator to release the static grass fibers. The electrostatic charge will cause the fibers to stand upright as they fall onto the glue.
Popis obrázku: A conceptual image would depict the applicator being held over a glued surface, with static grass fibers falling and standing upright.
Opakujte a dokončete:
Continue applying grass until the desired density is achieved. Once finished, release the activation button. Allow the glue to dry completely before handling the grassed area. Any loose fibers can be removed with a vacuum cleaner after the glue has dried.

6. Údržba

Čištění: After each use, remove any remaining static grass from the hopper. Use a soft, dry brush to gently clean the sieve and the interior of the hopper. Do not use water or cleaning solvents.
Vyjmutí baterie: If the applicator will not be used for an extended period, remove the 9V PP3 battery to prevent leakage and damage.
Skladování: Store the applicator in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case if available.
