General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING
Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical data which
come with this power tool. Failure to heed the following instructions can lead to
electric shock, fi re and/or severe injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Untidiness or poorly lit working areas can
lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmod-
ifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. ifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. ifi ed plugs and matching outlets will
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not misuse the connecting cable to carry or hang up the power tool or
to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the connecting cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts. Damaged or knotted cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the infl u-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your fi nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety meas-
ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Use power tools, accessories and insert tools etc. according to these
instructions. Take the working conditions and activity being performed into
consideration. The use of power tools for purposes for which they are not
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
g) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles prevent
safe handling and control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Safety Notes for Electric Soldering Device
WARNING
Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical data which
come with this electrical device. Failure to heed the following instructions can
lead to electric shock, fi re and/or severe injuries.
Keep all safety notes and instructions for the future.
● Only connect the electrical device of protection class I to a socket/extension
lead with a functioning protective contact. There is a danger of electric shock.
● The electrodes reach a working temperature of approx. 900°C. Therefore,
never touch the electrodes not the tongs nor the workpiece during and
after soldering! Touching the hot parts causes severe burns. These hot parts
need a longer time to cool down.
● Protect persons accompanying the work from hot parts. This reduces the
risk of injury.
● Make sure, when setting down the tongs (4) after soldering, that the still
hot, front area of the tongs does not come into contact with infl ammable
material. This reduces the fi re risk.
● Check the electrodes and holders from time to time for wear and damage
and replace them if necessary. Only use genuine spare parts. This ensures
that the safety of the electrical device is maintained.
● Do not use the electrical device if it is damaged. There is a danger of accident.
● Work only in a well aired environment! Do not inhale fumes that are produced
during soldering. The fumes can be harmful to health.
● Never let the device operate unattended. Switch off the device during longer
work breaks, pull out the mains plug and remove all plugs if necessary.
Electrical devices can cause hazards which lead to material damage or injury
when left unattended.
● Children and persons who, due to their physical, sensory or mental abilities
or lack of experience and knowledge are unable to operate the electrical
device safely may not use the electrical device without supervision or
instruction by a responsible person. Otherwise there is a risk of operating
errors and injuries.
● Only allow trained persons to use the electrical device. Apprentices may only
operate the electrical device when they are older than 16, when this is necessary
for their training and under the supervision of a trained operative.
● Check the power cable of the electrical device and the extension leads
regularly for damage. Have these renewed by qualifi ed experts or an authorised
REMS customer service workshop in case of damage.
● Only use approved and appropriately marked extension leads with a suffi cient
cable cross-section. Use extension leads up to a length of 10 m with cable
cross-section 1.5 mm², from 10 – 30 m with cable cross-section 2.5 mm². cross-section 1.5 mm², from 10 – 30 m with cable cross-section 2.5 mm². cross-section 1.5 mm², from 10 – 30 m w
