for a few minutes.
When you switch off the unit, the automatic cooling function blows cooling air through
the heater pipe for a short period. This protects the heater from damage and extends
its lifetime. Do not disconnect the mains plug during this cooling process.
Indoor use only
. Keep this device away from rain, moisture, splashing and dripping
liquids. Never put objects filled with liquids on top of or close to the device.
Do not use near inflammable products or in explosive atmospheres. Heat can cause
fire to inflammable products even when they are not in sight. Only use in properly
ventilated rooms.
Incorrect use may cause fire.
Do not touch the shafts, tips, or hot air gun as this can cause serious burns. Keep the
tips and hot air away from the body, clothes, or other flammable material. Do not aim
the hot air gun at the eyes. Use gloves and/or heat-resistant tools to pick up the PCB
assembly to prevent burns. Always return the irons and gun to their stands between
uses; always let the device cool down after use and before storage.
Place the device on a level, stable, and fire resistant working surface.
Do not inhale solder fumes. The vapours that are released during soldering are
harmful. Therefore, you shall only use the soldering station in well-ventilated areas or
under an exhaust hood (solder fume extractor). Dispose of fume filters and solder
residue in accordance with local regulations.
