Safety Instructions
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children shall be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not crimp the power cord and protect it against damage.
Warning!
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid any hazard.
Make sure that the available voltage does not exceed the voltage stated in the
specifications of this manual.
Plug the power cord into a suitable,
earthed
mains outlet.
Risk of electroshock
when opening the cover. Touching live wires can cause life-
threatening electroshocks. Do not disassemble or open the housing yourself. Have
the device repaired by qualified personnel.
Do not operate the device with wet hands.
Always disconnect mains power when the device is not in use or when servicing or
maintenance activities are performed. Handle the power cord by the plug only.
Caution!
After switching off,
leave the power cord plugged in
for a few
minutes. When you switch off the unit, the automatic cooling function blows cooling
air through the heater pipe for a short period. This protects the heater from
damage and extends its lifetime. Do not disconnect the mains plug during this
cooling process.
Indoor use only
. Keep this device away from rain, moisture, splashing and
dripping liquids. Never put objects filled with liquids on top of or close to the
device.
Do not use near inflammable products or in explosive atmospheres. Heat can cause
fire to inflammable products even when they are not in sight. Only use in properly
ventilated rooms.
Incorrect use may cause fire.
Do not touch the shafts, tips, or hot air gun as this can cause serious burns. Keep
the tips and hot air away from the body, clothes, or other flammable material. Do
not aim the hot air gun at the eyes. Use gloves and/or heat-resistant tools to pick
up the PCB assembly to prevent burns. Always return the irons and gun to their
stands between uses; always let the device cool down after use and before storage.
Place the device on a level, stable, and fire resistant working surface.
Do not inhale solder fumes. The vapours that are released during soldering are
harmful. Therefore, you shall only use the soldering station in well-ventilated areas
or under an exhaust hood (solder fume extractor). Dispose of fume filters and
solder residue in accordance with local regulations.
