14. Changing the fuse
The fuse protects the device against overload. The fuse should not be triggered during normal use.
The fuse may be triggered by a short circuit in the cable between the soldering iron/soldering tweezers and the solder-
ing station. The fuse may also be triggered by a fault in the soldering station.
Follow the steps below to replace a defective fuse:
• Switch off the soldering station. Allow the product to cool down completely.
• Disconnect the soldering station from the mains voltage (remove the plug from the mains socket). Disconnect the
mains cable from the soldering station.
• Remove the fuse holder (see diagrams in chapter 7, position 11) above the mains socket. This can be carefully
prised out of place with a flat screwdriver.
• Remove the fuse from the fuse holder.
• Perform a continuity test on the fuse, e.g. with an appropriate meter (digital multimeter).
• If the fuse is defective, replace it with a new fuse of the same type (see “Technical data” at the end of these operat-
ing instructions).
Never use a fuse with other specifications. Never bridge a defective fuse!
This may cause a fire or a fatal electric shock!
• Insert the new fuse into the fuse holder. Insert the fuse holder back into the soldering station in the correct orienta-
tion until it clicks into place.
• Connect the soldering station to the mains and switch it back on.
If the fuse blows again, disconnect the soldering station from the mains and ask a technician to conduct a
thorough inspection.
15. Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be placed in household waste. At the end of its
service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations.
