Specific Safety
Electric Soldering Safety
WARNING:
This appliance must be placed on its stand when not in use
WARNING:
Do not hang the soldering iron vertically during use. This will cause heat to
rise, which could make the handle too hot to touch and in extreme circumstances soften or melt
the handle. Allowing the iron to hang down will also place additional strain on the power cable
mounting.
WARNING:
Only use soldering iron stands suitable for the wattage of your soldering iron. Do
not use high wattage irons with light small soldering iron stands.
IMPORTANT:
Use soldering irons safely. Use promptly when the soldering iron has reached the
required temperature and switch off immediately after use.
• Soldering appliances become extremely hot during use. Do not touch any part of the appliance
other than the handle
• Switch off and allow the appliance to cool completely before attempting to change any fittings
• Do not leave this appliance unattended whilst hot
• Heat may be conducted to hidden areas or materials near to the work area. Ensure that there are
no flammable materials in the vicinity of the work area
• Residual heat may cause waste material to ignite, even after the appliance has been
disconnected from the power supply
• Never use these appliances near any kind of fuel tank or gas cylinder
• Soldering with certain materials may result in toxic fumes. Always allow adequate ventilation. Do
not use in confined spaces
• Some types of solder may contain high proportions of lead. Molten lead emits toxic fumes,
always wear good quality appropriate breathing protection
• Lead fumes are especially toxic to children, pregnant women and people with high blood
pressure. People at high risk should not be allowed near to the work area
• Always dispose of waste material responsibly
