- Soldering means fusing metallic materials by means of molten solder. Almost all metals and metal
alloys can be soldered, especially brass, copper and iron etc. A distinction can be made between soft
soldering and hard soldering (brazing).
- Hard soldering (brazing) is performed at temperatures over 450 degrees. Hard solders and silver
brazing solders
are made of metal alloys that melt only at temperatures which cannot be achieved using an electric
soldering iron. Soft soldering is performed at temperatures under 400 degrees. Soldering performed
with a soldering iron is soft soldering.
- Make certain that the rated power stated on the machine’s rating plate (230-240 V) agrees with the
local mains voltage before connecting the machine to the mains.
- Make sure that the tip is correctly fitted before heating the soldering iron It must be fastened tightly
with the clamping screw.
- We recommend that you work in the vicinity of the mains socket so that you can quickly pull the plug
from the socket in the event of an emergency.
- Be sure to disconnect the machine from the mains after finishing work.
- Allow the machine to cool down completely before storage! Rest the device on the stand provided or
on a non-flammable surface during breaks or after finishing work. Do not leave the soldering
unsupervised until it has cooled down completely.
- Do not use the soldering iron if the handle, the mains cable or the mains plug are damaged. Send the
device to an authorised workshop for repair. Never open the device yourself.
- Do not expose the device to water or moisture.
- The device may only be used indoors.
- Make sure that no liquids can enter the device.
- The soldering tip may only be removed when it is cool and when the soldering iron is off. Slide the new
soldering tip into the soldering iron as far as it will go and fasten it with the clamping screw. Do not use
unnecessary force.
- Never heat up the soldering iron without a soldering tip fitted.
- Do not touch the tip while operating the machine. Danger of burns!
- Use the device only in well ventilated rooms. Toxic fumes can be produced when soldering which can
lead to damage to the mucous membranes and/or chronic respiratory illness..
- Do not eat or drink whilst soldering as solder can contain lead. Always wash your hands thoroughly
after finishing work.
- The soldering iron is fitted with a special mains cable, which may not be damaged. When working,
take care not to touch the mains cable with the hot soldering iron. Damaged mains cables can not be
replaced. Never operate the soldering iron if the mains cable is damaged. Instead, dispose of it safely
as described in the ‘Recycling’ section of this manual.
- 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 should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

FEATURES
Model: HS-060A-15, HS-060A-25, HS-060A-40, HS-060A-60 HS-060A-80, HS-060A-100
Rated voltage
230-240 V~ / 50 Hz
Rated power:
15 W, 25 W, 40 W, 60 W, 80 W, 100 W
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The machine is designed for use with single phase alternating current 230-240 V AC / 50 Hz and is double-
insulated. Make certain that the rated voltage stated on the soldering irons’s rating plate matches the local
mains voltage.
If the work area is not close to the mains outlet, use an extension cable with sufficient conductor diameter
(min. 1.5 mm
2
).
The extension cable used should be as short as possible.
CONNECTING TO THE MAINS
The soldering irons are designed for joining metallic workpieces by means of molten solder.
Almost all metals and metal alloys can be soldered, especially brass, copper and iron etc.
Soldering performed with a soldering iron is soft soldering. Soft soldering is performed at temperatures
under 400 degrees.
SCOPE OF USE
The applicator wand is switched ON as soon as the plug (5) is connected to the mains.
Disconnect the machine from the mains to switch it OFF.
