Initial Operation
The soldering tip (1) has to be
mounted before initial use.
Installing/replacing
the soldering tip
Make sure that the soldering
iron is turned off and cold.
Position
O
on the on/off switch (4).
Hold the soldering iron tightly and
unscrew the soldering tip that is al-
ready inserted, if there is one. Now
screw the new soldering tip (1) into
the holder (14).
Switching on and off
Make sure that the mains
voltage matches the details
on the type plate.
Caution, danger of
burns! Do not touch the
hot soldering tip (
1).
When starting work:
1. Move the power switch (
4)
to the
I
position.
2. Hold the soldering iron in your
hand like a pen ( ).
3. Press the heating button (
6)
in order to heat up the soldering
tip ( 1).
4. The indicator light ( 5) changes
after approx. 30 seconds from
red to green; now the soldering
tip has reached a working tem-
perature of approx. 300°C.
The soldering iron heats up for
as long as you hold down the
heating button ( 6), up to a
maximum temperature of 470°C.
Hold down the heating button
( 6) while you are working with
the soldering iron.
Switching off:
5. Move the off switch (
4) to
the
O
position.
6. Make sure that the hot soldering
tip ( 1) does not touch
anything until it has cooled down.
Operation
Working Instructions
• In order to obtain a perfect sol-
dering point, the soldering point
must be completely clean and
free of grease.
• Before initial use, the soldering
tip has to be tin-coated, i.e.
coated with soldering tin. Only
good tin coating ensures perfect
soldering and heat transfer.
• Make sure that the soldering
tip is always clean and free of
scaling and excess soldering tin.
Clean the soldering tip regularly
with a wet sponge. Never use a
fi le for this purpose.
• Before soldering, establish a me-
chanical connection between the
metals which are to be connected
together if possible. For example,
twist the wires together so that
Special safety
instructions
Caution! Risk of fi re!
When putting the solde-
ring iron down, make sure
that the hot tip does not come
into contact with combustible
materials. Do not leave the
device unattended while it is
hot. Allow it to cool down be-
fore you store it away.
The soldering tip reaches
temperatures of over
400°C. Touching the metal
parts can cause severe burns.
The device must always
be placed on a
non-combustible surface when
it is not in use. There is a po-
tential fi re hazard
• Always turn the device on
before it comes into contact
with the material that is to
be worked on.
• Vapours which are harmful
to health are produced
during the soldering process
and when working on pla-
stics. Ensure good ventilation
or suitable vapour removal.
• Protect your eyes with safety
goggles and your body with
suitable working clothes
against solder splashes and
corrosive vapours.
• The device must never be
used for heating up liquids
or plastics.
• Never leave the device
unattended when it is
switched on.
• CAUTION! This tool must
be placed on its stands
when it is not in use.
• Ask our service centre to
carry out any work that is
not described in these in-
structions. Use only original
parts.

• Operate the charger only
with the appropriate orig-
inal batteries.
Charging
other batteries may result in
injuries and risk of fi re.
• Avoid mechanical damage
to the charger.
This can re-
sult in internal short circuits.
• Do not operate the charger
on a combustible surface
(e.g. paper, textiles).
Risk of
fi re due to heating during
charging.
• If the power cable for this
equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer
service agent of the same or
a similarly qualifi ed person
in order to prevent hazards.
• The battery is only partially
pre-charged upon delivery
and must be fully charged
up before being used for the
fi rst time. For the fi rst charge
it is recommended that the
battery should be charged
up for approximately 3
hours. Insert the soldering
iron into the base and
connect the charger to the
mains.
• Remove the mains plug when

and disconnect the charger
from the device. The charging
time is about 3 hours.
• Do not use the charger to
charge non-rechargeable
batteries. The device could
become damaged.
•
Do not connect a damaged
cord to the power supply.

Trouble Shooting
they do not slip. In this way you
will obtain stable soldering points
and avoid heat damage through
excessive soldering.
• For the soldering of two metals,
hold the soldering tip on the
connection point and briefl y add
some solder. The solder melts
and fl ows into the soldering
point. If the tin has spread,
remove the soldering iron and
allow the soldering point to cool
down without vibrations. Never
heat solder directly and do not
use too much solder.
• In the case of electronic compo-
nents, the parts to be soldered
must not be heated too much in
order to avoid damage.
• Place the soldering iron on a he-
at-resistant surface to cool down
or insert it into the charging
station.
Cleaning/
maintenance
Ask our service centre to carry
out any work that is not descri-
bed in these instructions.
Use only original parts.
Before you begin any work
on the device, move the on/
off switch ( 4) to the
O
position.
Risk of burns and electric shock
The following cleaning and ser-
vicing should be done regularly.
This will ensure a long and reliable
service life.
Cleaning
Do not spray the appli-
ance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
Electric shock hazard!
Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents. You may otherwise
irreparably damage the appliance.
• Wipe off the warm soldering tip
( 1) after use on a damp sponge.
• Never scrape or fi le any solder
residues off the soldering tip with
hard objects, as this will damage

on a heater.
Heat damages
the battery and there is a
risk of explosion.
d) Allow a hot battery to cool
before charging.
e) Do not open up the battery
and avoid mechanical dam-
age to the battery.
Risk of
short circuit and fumes may
be emitted that irritate the res-
piratory tract. Ensure fresh air
and seek medical assistance
in the event of discomfort.
f) Do not use non-rechargea-
ble batteries!
