OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Warning!
Soldering guns and irons are very hot and
can cause burns. Lead solder and its fumes are toxic.
Do not leave soldering guns/irons unattended when switched on.
Keep soldering equipment away from children and animals
Use appropriate personal protection equipment.
Concentrate
Routine and repetition can lead to mistakes. Remember
that a slight lack of concentration can result in serious
injuries in a split second.
Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
Consider the work environment
Do not expose power tools to rain or use them in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use
power tools in the presence of flammable liquids, vap-
ours or gases.
Guard against electric shock
This unit contains dangerous voltages. Use a RCD (resi-
dual current device) to provide protection against elec-
trical shock. Prevent body contact with grounded sur-
faces (e.g. pipes, radiator, ranges or refrigerators).
Keep children and pets away
Do not let children or pets come into contact with the
tool, extension cable or work area.
Do not force the tool
It will work better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
Use the right tool
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes for which
they were not intended; for example do not use a circular
saw for cutting trees or logs.
Do not abuse the cable
Never carry the tool by the cable or pull it to disconnect
it from the power socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Do not touch the metal plug pins
when connecting or removing the plug.
Secure work
Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It is safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
Do not over-reach
Keep a proper footing and balance at all times.
Disconnect tools from power supply
When not in use, before servicing and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
Always switch off and unplug the soldering gun/iron
from the power supply before making adjustments
or changing tips.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Ensure that they are removed from the tool before swit-
ching on.
Avoid unintentional starting
Do not carry plugged in tools with your finger on the
switch. Check that the switch is off before plugging in to
socket.
Extension cables
Use only three core earthed extension cables suitable
for the power input of the tool (minimum cable size
1.5mm
2
). Plug into an earthed socket only.
When using a cable reel unwind it fully. Do not use long
extension cables.
Outdoors use
If the tool is suitable to be used outdoors, only use an
extension cable intended for outdoor use and marked
accordingly. Use a RCD (residual current device) to pro-
vide protection against electrical shock. Do not use in
rain or damp conditions.
Connect a fume extraction device
Make sure you use fume extraction device when solde-
ring.
Use recommended accessories
The use of any other accessory or attachment other than
recommended in the instructions or catalogue may pre-
sent a risk of personal injury. Do not use long extension
cables with the soldering gun/iron.
