Guidelines for working safely 

with the SpotHeater SH1000

CAUTION:

 As with any power tool, 

it is important to folllow common 

safety precautions. Read the 

guidelines carefully for safe use 

and handling.

NOT RATED FOR CONTINUOUS DUTY:

 Use for max. 2 hrs. at a time.

• Keep the work area free of flammable materials 

and at a safe distance from flammable gases and 

liquids.

• Connect the SpotHeater to a 110V GFCI power 

outlet and set the power switch to “ON”. The IR 

tube will reach operating temperature in about 1 

minute.

• Make sure you have a firm grip. Always work with 

protective gloves. Avoid touching the SpotHeater’s 

metal parts and loosened paint, as these can be 

very hot.

• Before use, check that all parts of the SpotHeater 

are firmly intact. Should any parts be damaged, 

they should be replaced before using.

• Do not inhale fumes. Ensure good ventilation and 

always use a protective mask when removing old 

coatings.

• Keep the SpotHeater clean and dry. Dirty IR 

tubes  and  reflectors  could  lead  to  fire.  Check 

the IR tube, the protective grille, and the power 

cable regularly. Replace any damaged parts 

immediately. IR tubes should be handled with care. 

Should they be damaged, immediately turn off the 

SpotHeater, and replace with a new IR tube.

• Do not allow children or other unauthorized 

contact with the SpotHeater while it is in use.

• Do not use SpotHeater in the rain or in damp 

locations.

• Avoid body contact with grounded objects while 

using the SpotHeater (i.e.: metal pipes, radiators, 

and refrigerators).

• Heating for too long in one place can lead to fire. 

Test for optimal heating time. Ensure to have a fire 

extinguisher  within  easy  reach.  If  a  fire  occurs, 

immediately switch off the tool and place it out 

of reach of the fire. Never leave the SpotHeater 

unattended during operation or shortly after. Let 

the tool cool down before leaving it unattended.

• The power cable should always be unplugged when 

the SpotHeater is not in use. Before unplugging 

from the power outlet, always turn the power 

switch to “OFF”. Use only approved extension 

cords. Never carry the SpotHeater by the power 

cable or pull the power cable out of the outlet.

• For repair, use only original parts. Faulty parts may 

cause a risk of injury. Original parts are required 

for the warranty to apply. The SpotHeater is 

manufactured in accordance with current safety 

regulations and should only be repaired by a 

licenced specialist.
