Safety
It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric
shock, injury, fire or explosion.
- Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause fire.
- The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Be sure that it is properly grounded
before use. When removing it, hold the plug, not the wire.
- The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use. The metal part of the tool and the stand
may still be hot even when the station is turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the
stand position.
- Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
- Do not cover the ventilation grills.
- Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite even when out of sight.
- Use a “non residue” classified flux and avoid contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
- Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.

working to avoid personal harm.
