3. Commissioning

Bend the soldering iron stand using the enclosed bending template. Place the soldering iron
in the safety stand. Ensure that there are no combustible objects in the immediate vicinity
of the soldering iron. Check whether the mains voltage matches the connected load of the
soldering iron. Insert the mains plug of the soldering iron into the mains socket. When the
necessary heating-up time has elapsed, wet the soldering tip with a little solder. You can
then begin soldering.
Fig.: Bending instructions and bending template see page 42 + 43.

4. Important

Do not allow the soldering tip to become seized up. Applying a thin layer of graphite to the
end of the soldering tip and frequent withdrawal of the soldering tip prevents unwanted sei-
zing up. The soldering tip should be cleaned using a water-soaked cleaning sponge. When
the soldering iron is not in use, always place the soldering iron in the original stand. Ensure
that the soldering tip is well tinned during breaks between soldering.
Do not pick the heating element up using pliers or tap it clean. Attaching the sleeve nut by
hand (when the soldering iron is cold) is sufficient to secure the soldering tip.
