Safety Notes and Operation
Please also observe the safety notes of the soldering station, article
no. 379081 as well as article no. 285767.
Work only in well ventilated areas because hot solder and flux can
emit hazardous fumes.
Do not lead the power cord over sharp edges or hot surfaces. If the
soldering iron or the power cord becomes damaged, do not use the
unit further more and have it repaired by a professional.
Do not immerse the unit in liquids of any kind. Do not touch the unit
with wet hands. Do not solder on voltage-carrying components.
Turn off the soldering iron and pull the power plug while cleaning or
when not in use. Do not pull on the power cord, always grasp the
plug itself. Allow the soldering iron to cool down completely before
cleaning, storing or replacing the soldering tip.
Operation
1. Plug the power plug of the soldering iron into the jack of the
soldering station. When not in use, place the soldering iron on a
heat-resistant surface or, preferably, use a suitable support. The
soldering iron heats up with a heating power of approx. 48 W.
2. Before the first use, the soldering tip must be tinned. Allow some
solder to melt on the hot soldering tip and let it to melt into a thin
film which covers the entire soldering tip.
3. When soldering, hold the soldering tip lightly
tilted, as shown in the figure.
4. After work, allow some solder to melt on the
soldering tip to protect it against corrosion
during the period of disuse. Excess solder can
be wiped off with a damp sponge after the
soldering tip has heated up for the next use.

tions, damage or physical injury:
