• The unauthorised conversion and/or modifi cation of the product is not allowed for
safety and approval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the product!
• The product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children! Danger of
burning!
Do not leave children alone in close proximity to the product.
Keep the product in a place inaccessible to children!
• The product may only be operated on the mains voltage (see section „Technical
Data"). Never try to operate the product at another voltage as this will cause its
destruction.
• The device is designed according to safety class I. It may be connected and used
only at an earthed mains socket.
• The product is only intended for use in dry, indoor locations.
• The sponge, which can be inserted into a dedicated sponge holder on the right side
of the soldering station, may be moistened only with clean, cold water. The sponge
can later be used to clean the soldering tip from fl ux residues.
Never clean the soldering tip with a dry sponge!
Do not knock of fl ux residues of the soldering tin using the housing of the soldering
station!
Never pour water directly into the sponge holder of the soldering station. Take the
sponge out and then moisten it with water. After that, put it back into the sponge
holder.
• Do not use the soldering station in spaces or in adverse ambient conditions, where
combustible gases, vapours or dust are or may be present! There is a risk of explo-
sion!
• Do not fasten any items to the soldering station; never cover the soldering station;
there is a risk of fi re!
• Never use the soldering rod to heat up liquids.
Version 06/12
• Never work on electrical components that are powered up. Always switch off the
°
power beforehand.
Caution! Touching or soldering at condensers (or similar components) or leads/
cables connected to them, may result in a lethal electric shock! Condensers can be
under power for hours even after switching off the power supply!
• Depending on the workpiece of the soldering method, the workpiece must be fi xed
in a suitable mounting device. This leaves both your hands free for the soldering
process.
• Keep your workstation clean.
• Only work with suffi cient lighting at your workstation.
• Ensure proper ventilation during soldering. Solder or solder fl ux can be harmful.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after working with brazing solder containing tin.
Do not put brazing solder into your mouth, do not eat or drink during soldering.
• Wear suitable protective clothing and protective glasses when soldering. Liquid
blazing solder, etc. may cause serious burns or harm your eyes!
• Never use soldering fl ux, acid or similar aids when soldering. Such materials lead
to bad soldering joints and they can also damage the tip of the soldering rod. Pref-
erably, use a tubular solder with fl ux core.
• Do not touch any other area of the soldering rod than the handle when working.
Risk of burns!
• Soldering must be done on non-combustible surfaces. Protect other materials
nearby from damage through heat.
• The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, strong vibrations or
heavy mechanical stress.
• Protect all cables from heat, sharp edges or other damage.
• Do not pull the power plug from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
• If you have reason to assume that safe operation is no longer possible, disconnect
the product immediately and secure it against inadvertent operation. After this, ar-
range for an expert to check the product.
A safe operation can no longer be assumed, if:
- the product shows visible signs of damage,
- the product does not work at all or well (leaking smoke or fuming smell, audible
cracking noises, discolouration of the product or the adjacent surfaces)
- the product was stored under unfavourable conditions
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around since it could become a
dangerous plaything for children.
• The accident prevention regulations of the association of compensation insurers
must be followed when using all electrical facilities and equipment in commercial
locations!
