• Depending on the workpiece of the soldering method, the workpiece must be fixed in a suitable
mounting device. This leaves both your hands free for the soldering process.
•
• Keep your workstation clean.
• Only work with sufficient lighting at your workstation.
• Ensure proper ventilation during soldering. Solder or solder flux can be harmful.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after working with brazing solder containing tin. This is especially
true when using leaded solder.
• Do not put brazing solder into your mouth, do not eat or drink during soldering.
• Wear suitable protective clothing and protective glasses when soldering. Liquid blazing solder,
etc. may cause serious burns or harm your eyes!
• Never use soldering flux, acid or similar aids when soldering. Such materials lead to bad solder-
ing joints and they can also damage the tip of the soldering rod. Preferably, use a tubular solder
with flux core.
• Do not touch any other area of the soldering rod than the handle when working. Risk of burns!
• Soldering must be done on non-combustible surfaces. Protect other materials nearby from
damage through heat.
• Plug in the soldering iron holder when the soldering iron is not in use.
• If the power cord is damaged, do not touch it; there is danger to life from electric shock!
First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the soldering iron is connected (switch
off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse or switch off at the corre-
sponding RCD protective switch, so that the socket is fully disconnected).
Then you can remove the mains plug from the mains socket. Do not use the product any longer,
take it to a specialised workshop or dispose of in an environmentally friendly manner.
• Any maintenance or repair work may be only performed by an authorised repair shop.
• Never use the product immediately after taking it from a cold room to a warm one. The con-
densation that forms might damage the product. Furthermore, this could cause a lethal electric
shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature, before connecting it to the power supply and
putting it into use. This may take several hours.
• Avoid the following adverse conditions at the installation location and during transport:
- Dust or flammable gases, fumes or solvents
- Strong vibrations, impacts or blows
- Strong magnetic fields such as those found in the vicinity of machinery or loudspeakers
• Disconnect the power supply from the power socket if the product will not be used for a while
(e.g. storage).
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is neither kinked nor pinched.
• Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental falls, even
from a low height.
• If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, the device must be turned off and
precautions must be taken to ensure that it is not used unintentionally. After this, arrange for an
expert to check the product.
Safe operation can no longer be assumed if:
- the device is visibly damaged,
- the device no longer works
- the device has been stored under adverse conditions for a long time
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could become a dangerous
plaything for children.
• In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Employer’s Liability Insur-
ance Association for Electrical Systems and Operating Facilities are to be observed.
• If you have any questions that are not answered in this manual, please contact our technical
service or other specialist.
Getting started
Please consult the section: “Safety Instructions”!
a) Installation
• Select a horizontal, stable and sufficiently large surface to erect the soldering station.
Protect heat-sensitive surfaces with a suitable cover. Never place the soldering station on surfaces of
valuable furniture or floors; never place it on a carpet. Keep sufficient distance to combustible or easily
inflammable objects (e.g. curtains).
• During the installation of the soldering station and soldering iron holder, the optimal location of where the
two components should be placed can be chosen.
• Remove the protective rubber on the tip of the soldering iron. It serves only as protection during transport,
it is no longer needed.
• Check whether the ridged metal nut is tightened to the soldering iron (don’t use any tool to tighten!).
• Place the soldering rod into its holder so that the soldering rod cannot fall out.
• If you want to use the dry cleaner (brass wool) to clean the soldering tip, it can be plugged from the supplied
mounting bracket into the associated opening of the soldering iron holder.
If you want to use the regular sponge for cleaning the tip, wet the sponge with clean running water and place
it into the corresponding hole of the soldering iron holder.

Intended Use
The analogue soldering station is designed for soldering tasks in the electrical and electronic sector using
different soft solders (lead/silver solder). The soldering temperature is adjustable, the soldering tip can be
replaced.
The soldering station is suitable only for operation with a mains voltage (230 V/AC, 50 Hz).
Always observe the safety instructions and all other information included in these operating instructions.
Any use other than that described above could lead to damage to this product and involves the risk of short
circuits, fire, electric shock, etc. No part of the product may be modified or converted!
This product complies with the applicable national and European requirements All names of companies and

Safety Instructions
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe these safety
instructions! We do not assume any liability for any resulting damage!
We do not assume any liability for material and personal damage caused by improper use

• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not permitted for safety and
approval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the product.
• The product is not a toy. Devices operated using mains voltage do not belong in the hands of
children. Therefore, be especially careful when children are around.
Use the product where it is out of the reach of children.
• The product is approved only for operation in dry indoor rooms.
• The design of the product complies with the safety class II.
• The mains socket into which the mains plug is plugged must be easily accessible.

• Do not use the recessed light in rooms or under adverse ambient conditions where combustible
gases, vapours or dust are or may be present! There is a risk of explosion!
• Do not fasten any items to the soldering station; never cover the soldering station; there is a risk
of fire!
• Remove soldering residue from the soldering tip by tapping not on the housing of the soldering
station, but on the soldering iron (heating element) otherwise the soldering iron can get dam-
aged.
• The soldering iron must not get damp or wet. If you want to use a damp sponge for wiping the
tip, it may only be inserted into the corresponding opening of the soldering iron holder.
• Never use the soldering rod to heat up liquids.
• Never work on electrical components that are powered up. Always switch off the power before-
hand.
Caution! Touching or soldering at condensers (or similar components) or leads/cables con-
nected to them, may result in a lethal electric shock! Condensers can be under power for hours
even after switching off the power supply!
