Footswitch

Safety precautions:
Unplug all mains power to the flash cure dryer.
If the flash cure was recently in operation ensure the unit has cooled down
before attempting to change the lamps.
The lamps are made of quartz glass and are therefore fragile –handle with
care and avoid contact with the glass.
It is important when either cleaning or changing a lamp that the quartz is not
touched by hands or fingers. If the lamps are touched then they must be cleaned
before switching on.
