Items supplied
Soldering gun
2 soldering tips
1 plastic tip
Solder wire
Plastic case
Use
The soldering gun is designed for light-duty
soldering jobs, soldered electric connections,
model-making and poker-work.
Additional safety information
Hold the heated soldering gun only by its
handle. Risk of burns!
Put down the heated soldering gun only on
non-combustible and heat-resistant surfaces.
Risk of fire!
The soldering tip coupling has to be secure.
Check before beginning your work.
Keep the power cable away from the solde-
ring tip at all times.
The ON/OFF button must not be secured/fixed in the ON position.
In view of the high working temperatures
involved, you should use a suitable fixture to
secure the workpiece in position.
The soldering tip becomes hot during use
and may cause burn marks, scorch marks
and - in the worst case - burn wounds and
fires if used without proper care.
Never dip the soldering tip into water, and
never hold the soldering tip under flowing
water.
Wear safety goggles during soldering work.
Tin and flux spatter may cause eye injuries.
Some flux materials give off unpleasant
vapors when heated. Make sure the work
area is well ventilated.
Operating instructions
Every heating phase of a maximum 12
seconds must be followed by an OFF inter-
val of at least 48 seconds. In other words,
the soldering gun may only be used in inter-
mittent mode.
Make sure that the parts to be soldered are
clean. Clean them in advance with steel wool
or fine sanding paper.
Make sure that the soldering tip is tinned; if not
then use the supplied solder wire. Never use
a file to clean the soldering tip.
Wipe the soldering tip on a silicon sponge
and then tin it.
Heat the joint and not the solder. Touch with
the soldering tip the parts you want to solder
so that both parts are uniformly heated. Add
a little tin solder to the joint.
Withdraw the soldering gun carefully and
quickly without moving the parts you are sol-
dering.
Do not use too much solder. Use only as
much solder as necessary.
Take care not to overheat electric and elec-
tronic components.
If you want to join wires together by solde-
ring, you should first tin their ends. Twist the
strands together, heat them and add a little
tin solder.
The plastic tip can be used to repair objects
made of thermoplastic material (children’s
toys).
The standard soldering tip can be used for
poker-work (burning motifs on wood and lea-
ther).
