Abstract: A device (1) for applying heat radiation to a surface, for softening and/or removing one or more coatings, includes a head assembly (2) and a handle assembly (3) connected to the head assembly. The head assembly includes at least one heat radiation element (6) arranged in a reflector unit (4), which has an aperture intended to be directed towards the surface to be radiated. The head assembly and the handle assembly are separated by a clearance and at least one heat dissipating member that spans the clearance connects a first attachment area (14) of the head assembly and a second attachment area (16) of the handle assembly. At least a portion of the heat dissipating member has a curvature such that the length of the heat dissipating member exceeds the distance between the first and second attachment areas.

Abstract: A method and a device for electrical braking of an all-mains motor by which disconnection of supplied feed current to the motor causes an electric switching operation, whereby electric current arranged to cause a reversed rotary direction for the rotor (1) of the motor is supplie. According to the invention, supplied braking power (P) is controlled and reduced on basis of the successive reduction of rotary speed for the motor until the rotor (1) of the motor has substantially completely ceased to rotate, preferably substantially corresponding to an inverted "soft start" for the motor, whereafter supplied braking current feed is interrupted. It is advantageously monitored whether or not normal start of the motor has been performed, electric switching to braking only being made possible provided that such a start sequence has been indicated.
