only.
2. Keep your work area in proper order.
Always return the soldering tool to its original holder when not in use. Do not bring combustible
materials near the hot soldering tools.
3. Take care for the surroundings.
Don't use the soldering tool in a moist or wet environment.
4. Protect yourself against electrical shocks.
Avoid touching grounded parts with your body, e.g. pipes, heating radiators, stoves,
refrigerators.
5. Keep children at a distance.
Don't allow other persons to touch or disturb the soldering tool or cord. Keep other persons
away from your work area.
6. Store your soldering tool in an appropriate place
Unused soldering tools should be stored in a dry location which is out of the reach of children
(some place high or in a locked cabinet). Switch off all unused soldering tools.
7. Do not overload your soldering tool.
Use the soldering tool only with the specified voltage or specified pressure and pressure
range.
8. Use the appropriate soldering tool.
Don't use a soldering tool whose performance is not adequate for your work. Never use the
soldering tool for purposes for which is was not designed.
9. Wear suitable work cloths.
There is a danger of burning yourself with liquid solder. Wear the corresponding protective
clothing in order to protect yourself against burns.
10. Protect your eyes.
Wear protective eyewear. When working with bonding agents, it is particularly important to
observe the warning notices of the bonding agent manufacturer. Protect yourself against
spattering solder. There is a danger of burning yourself with liquid solder.
11. Use a soldering vapour suction device
If devices for solder vapour suction are available, ensure that these are connected and correctly
used.

Never carry the soldering tool by the cord. Don't use the cord to pull the power plug from the
socket. Protect the cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
13. Protect the work piece.
Use clamping devices to hold the work piece in place. This is more secure than using your

Set-up your work place with proper ergonomics. Avoid bad posture when working. Always
use the suitable soldering tool.
