2 Safety Notes

The appliance corresponds to the directive for electro-
magnetic compatibility 89/336/EEC and the low volt-
age directive 73/23/EEC.
This unit uses dangerous mains voltage (230 V~).
To prevent a shock hazard do not open the cabinet.
Leave servicing to authorized skilled personnel only.
Also any guarantee claim expires if the unit has
been opened.
For the operation also watch in any case the following
items:
•
The unit is only suitable for indoor use.
•
Avoid excessively warm locations for the unit or high
humidity (permissible operating temperature range
0-40°C).
•
Keep the unit away from children!
•
To avoid a fire or other damage by the hot soldering
iron, place the soldering iron in the support or on a
fire-proof base only.
•
The heated-up soldering iron must only be touched
at the handle. If metal parts of the soldering iron are
touched, there is the danger of burning. After finish-
ing the work, have the soldering iron only cool down
in the air, by no means chill it in water.
•
Do not take the unit into operation and immediately

3 Setting into Operation

IMPORTANT! To avoid overheating damage, the sol-
dering station must not be operated without soldering
tip.
1) Connect the soldering iron with the soldering sta-
tion. For this plug the 5-pole angle DIN plug of the
soldering iron into the jack (6).
2) Slide the soldering iron support (1) into one of both
slots (2).
3) Connect the soldering station with the mains plug
to a socket (230 V~/50 Hz).
4) To switch on the station, press the toggle switch
(7). The POWER LED (5) and the HEATER LED
(4) light up.
5) Set the desired temperature (150–420°C) with the
rotary control (8). The temperature LEDs (3) show
the heating-up temperature resp. the temperature
of the soldering tip. While heating up, the HEATER
LED is lighting. It expires as soon as the adjusted
temperature will be reached.
The following table may serve for choosing the
suitable soldering temperature:
Melting point of the standard
soldering tin (60 % tin / 40 % lead):
Standard soldering temperature:

6) To switch off the station, press the toggle switch.
4 Replacement of the Soldering Tip
1) Prior to replacing the soldering tip, switch off the
station with the toggle switch (7) and disconnect
the station from the mains. Have the screw sleeve
(9) and soldering tip (10) cool down to room tem-
perature.
2) Screw off the screw sleeve with the fingers from
the soldering iron tube.
3) Remove possible oxide residues from the solder-
ing iron tube. While blowing oxide particles out of
the tube, provide a corresponding eye protection.
