Operation
• Unpack the soldering station and check all parts for damages. Damaged parts may not be put into
operation.
• Put the holding rack for the soldering iron sideways in the soldering station. Wet the cleaning sponge in
the sponge rack with water.
• Put the soldering iron in the holding rack.
• Place the soldering station on a solid and hard wearing surface.
• Connect the mains plug to a socket and turn on the soldering station by using the power switch (I = ON
/ 0 = OFF). When turned on, the power switch is lit.
Always put the soldering iron on the holding rack when it is heating up or during breaks
from soldering.
Make sure the contacts for soldering on the work piece are clean.
Only use solder for electronics. Acidic solder can damage the soldering tip or the work
piece.
• Regulate the desired temperature of the soldering iron with the adjusting knob. The colour-coded areas
are equal to following temperatures:
- Yellow approx. 150 °C
- Orange approx. >210° to 370 °C
- Red approx. >370° to 520 °C
For lead solder choose the start of the first red segment (approx. 270 - 360°C), for silver solder
use the beginning of the second red segment (approx. 320 - 420°C).
For larger soldering tip adjust the temperature upwards to perform the soldering as fast as pos-
sible and as long as necessary.
Lower the temperature during breaks. This saves energy and extends the durabili- ty of the
soldering tip.
• Wait about 2-3 minutes until the soldering tip reaches the adjusted temperature. Test the tem- perature
by touching the soldering tip with solder. If the solder melts away easily you can start soldering.
•
Tin the hot soldering tip with solder. Wipe off excessive solder on the wet cleaning sponge.
• Heat up the soldering location with the soldering tip and add solder.
• Let the soldering point cool down.
• Clean the soldering tip after each soldering procedure on the wet sponge.
•
After finishing the soldering, put back the soldering iron in the rack and turn off the soldering station at
the main switch.
Do not file off the soldering tip. Thus it will be damaged.
Never touch the hot soldering tip. Very hot! Danger of burns! Let the soldering iron cool
down after use.
The soldering iron may not be dunked into water.
During breaks, the soldering iron has to be placed in the holding rack.
Soldering tip change
Turn off the soldering station and let the soldering iron cool down completely.
Loose the metal nut on the tip of the soldering iron. Take the nut off and pull out the soldering tip. To remove
any dirt particles by carefully knocking out the cover of the soldering iron on a rub- ber mat.
Insert a new soldering tip and screw the nut back in place by hand.

Operating Instructions
Analogue Soldering Station ZD-99, 58 W
Item No. 588415
Intended Use
The analogue soldering station provides an adjustable maximum temperature for soldering. All soldering
work for electronic or electrical purposes using different kinds of soft solder (lead or sil- ver solder) can be
performed due to the adjustable working temperature. The soldering tip can be replaced.
The soldering station meets protection class 1 (with earth conductor) and should only be con- nected to and
used with a mains shockproof socket with a voltage of 220 - 240V~/50Hz.
Soldering on tensioned circuits etc is not allowed. Do not use in adverse ambient conditions.
Adverse ambient conditions are:
•
Wet or excessive air humidity,
•
dust or combustible gases, vapours or solvents,
•
strong vibrations.
Any use other than described above is not allowed and may cause damage to the product. Furthermore there
are dangers such as fire, short circuit, electric shock etc.
No part of the product should be modified or rebuilt!
The safety instructions must be observed thoroughly!

•
The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the product is inadmissible because of
safe- ty and approval reasons. Damaged power cables or cables to the soldering rod must
only be replaced by qualified personnel.
• The construction of the soldering station meets protection class 1. Ensure the earth conductor
is not disconnected and the product is only connected to earthed sockets.
•
Keep electrical appliances and accessories away from children! They are not toys.
•
Never use the product immediately after it has been brought in from the cold into a warm
room. Condensation that forms might destroy your device. Wait until the product is at room
tempera- ture before use.
•
Never touch the appliance with damp or wet hands. There is the risk of a dangerous electrical
shock.
•
Make sure to have sufficient ventilation while soldering. Solder or solder flux can be harmful.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after working with solder containing lead. Do not let solder con-
taining lead cross your lips; do not eat during the works.
•
The power cables (power cable and cable to the soldering iron) have to be protected against
heat and sharp edges.
•
Wear appropriate protective clothing and safety goggles while soldering.
•
Do not touch any other area of the soldering iron than the handle when working. Very hot!
Danger of burns!
•
Do not leave children alone in the presence of the soldering iron!
•
Soldering must be done on non-combustible surfaces. Make sure any material in the vicinity
can- not be damaged by the heat.
•
