Intended Use Of The Product; Technical Data; Site; Operating Instructions - Hedson IRT MiniSpot Mode D'emploi

1. Intended use of the product

The IRT MiniSpot is a handheld infrared dryer with main switch.
It can be used for the following applications:
• heating of old putty prior to removal
• heating of old paint prior to scraping
• fast-drying of putty, filler and paint
• heating of strips prior to removal
• heating of glued joints
• hardening of paint drips

2. Technical data

Short wave infrared radiators IRT MiniSpot
Supply Voltage 220 - 240 V
Frequency 50 - 60 Hz
Current 2 A
Fuse* 10 A
Output 400 W
* The dryer must be operated with the recommended fuse
rating. Electrical diagrams - see page 15.

3. Site

If the dryer is used for drying of solvent-based materials,
explosion prevention has to be guaranteed by providing
sufficient ventilation. The solvent concentration in the air must
always be below 25% of the lower explosion limit.

4. Operating instructions

Insert the plug in a grounded electrical outlet. Switch the circuit
breaker in the handle. The lamp will illuminate and full output
will be reached within a few seconds. To turn off the equipment,
switch the circuit breaker in the handle once again.
By radiating only the needed areas and not heating any air,
a lower energy consumption is achieved.
Since the reflector of IRT MiniSpot is parabolic, distance acts as
both the temperature and surface area regulator. In most cases
it is suitable to start at a distance of 30 cm from the surface to be
heated. Move the IRT MiniSpot sidewards to maintain an even
temperature.
WARNING! If a shorter distance to the object being
heated is used, the temperature of the object rapidly increases
to a very high level.
If for any reason an IR lamp should be defect, the equipment must
immediately be disconnected from the electrical outlet.

5. Hazards

Electrical equipment
The equipment operates with dangerous electrical voltage.
If maintenance on the equipment is necessary:
– Remove the plug from the wall socket.
– Contact an electrician. Only a qualified electrician may work
with the equipment.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or electrically qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.

Heating body parts (hands. face etc.) is strictly prohibited.
Never point the heater towards flammable material.
Not to be used without supervision.
Do not store, prepare or use solvent-containing materials within a
5 m/16 feet radius of the dryer. Flammable materials should not be
placed close to a drying device in use.
The dryer must not be exposed to paint fog, sanding dust or
solvents, due to fire and explosion risk. Furthermore, the lifetime
of the dryer will otherwise be reduced. Allow for sufficient cooling
time of the dryer.

damaged by heat radiation.

6. Instructions to the owner

The owner of the infrared lamp has to draw up a list of instructions
on how to use the lamp, in clear language that the user can
understand, and taking into account the manual and the prevailing
conditions at the work place. These instructions must be available,
and kept in a place known and accessible to the user.
Everyone using the infrared heater must follow the instructions for
use.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

7. Maintenance

The IRT MiniSpot does not require regular maintenance. It is
however important that the cable is not damaged through
improper use. The cable should be checked for damage before
each use (consider the advise in chapter 5!).
Use a damp rag when cleaning the equipment. Water can lead to
risk for electrical flashover.
When replacing the IR lamp, see page 10.
