Take Adequate Safety Precautions
1. Make sure your work area is un-cluttered and well-lighted.
2. Make sure your work area is well-ventilated while soldering.
Do not breathe
soldering fumes.
Use a fan to blow the fumes away from your face while you are
working or use appropriate safety equipment such as a fumes extractor or hood.

worth the loss of your vision.
4. Ensure that your soldering iron is placed in a non-flammable stand when not in
use.
