c) Electrical
• Never operate the product above the rated voltage, and disconnect from the power supply
when not in use.
• The product is built according to protection class I. It must be powered by a standard earthed
mains socket.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Never pull the mains plug from the socket by pulling at the cable. Always pull it from the mains
socket using the intended grips.
• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not use the device for an extended
period of time.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket in thunderstorms for reasons of safety.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not squeezed, bent, damaged by sharp edges or put under
mechanical stress. Avoid excessive thermal stress on the mains cable from extreme heat or
cold. Do not modify the mains cable. Otherwise the mains cable may be damaged. A damaged
mains cable can cause a deadly electric shock.
• Do not touch the mains cable if it is damaged. First, power down the respective mains socket
(e.g. via the respective circuit breaker) and then carefully pull the mains plug from the mains
socket. Never use the product if the mains cable is damaged.
• A damaged mains cable may only be replaced by the manufacturer, a workshop commis-

result in scratch marks, pressure points, discolouration or burn marks.
•
Ensure that there is sufficient lighting.
• Keep your work area clean and tidy.
• Always operate the solder bath in a well ventilated area as the release fumes can be harmful.
Proper attention should be given to solder used and the ventilation required to exhaust any
fumes.
•
To prevent toxic or excess fumes always use lead-free solder bars and do not use flux core
solder wire.
• Do not operate the solder bath in the presence of water and/or combustible & heat sensitive
materials.
•
Do not place the product in the direct path of airflow from an air conditioner or furnace vent
e)
Risk of Burns
• Never leave a solder bath unattended unless it is unplugged and completely cooled down.
When cooling, solder will solidify on surface, but will remain molten beneath the surface for
an extended period of time!
f) Personal Safety
• Always wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when operating the solder bath. This
includes safety glasses, protective gloves, and sleeves (if necessary) to cover your body.
Splashing “spitting” solder may cause serious burns or eye damage.
