Depending on the workpiece or soldering/desoldering method, the workpiece must be fixed in place with
a suitable clamping device. This enables you to use both hands for the soldering/desoldering process.
• Always keep the soldering iron and the soldering tweezers in the corresponding holder when they are
not in use.
• Keep your work area clean.
•
Ensure that there is sufficient lighting.
•
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when soldering. Solder and flux vapours can be harmful to your
health.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after working with solder.
• Do not put solder into your mouth or eat or drink when you are soldering.
• Wear suitable protective clothing and safety goggles when soldering/desoldering. Liquid/splashing solder
may cause serious burns or eye damage.
•
Never use soldering flux, acid or similar aids when soldering. These chemicals can cause a poor solder
-
ing joint. For best results, use a solder wire with a flux core or a suitable SMD solder.
• Never touch the tip of the soldering iron or the soldering tweezers. Burn hazard!
• Only replace the soldering tip when it has cooled down completely.
•
Always solder on non-flammable surfaces. Ensure that there are no neighbouring materials that may be
damaged by the heat generated from the soldering iron.
• Only use the product in temperate climates. It is not suitable for use in tropical climates. Refer to the
“Technical data” section for information on the permitted ambient conditions.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one. This may
generate condensation, which can cause the product to malfunction or damage the interior components.
Moisture on the soldering station, mains cable or power adapter may also cause a fatal electric shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature before using it. This may take several hours.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, stop using it and prevent unauthorised use. Safe
operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stress.
•
A defective fuse must be replaced with a new fuse with the same specifications (see “Replacing the
fuse”). Do not repair or bridge a defective fuse, as this may cause a fire or a fatal electric shock.
