Replacing The Fuse - BASETech 1460697 Notice D'emploi

9. Replacing the fuse

The fuse protects the device from overload. The fuse should not trip in normal use.
The fuse may, however, trip in case of a defective soldering gun or short circuit in the cable between the soldering gun
and the soldering station. The fuse may also trip if there is a defect in the soldering station.
Proceed as follows to replace a defective fuse:
• Switch off the soldering station. If the soldering gun is still hot, let it cool off entirely.
• Disconnect the soldering station from the mains supply, pull the mains plug from the mains socket.
• Turn the soldering station around so that you see the rear. Turn the fuse holder out entirely with a suitable cross-
head screwdriver (turn to the left, counter-clockwise).
• Take the fuse out of the fuse holder.
• Check the fuse, e.g. with a suitable meter (digital multimeter).
If the fuse is defective, replace it with a new fuse of the same build (microfuse 5 x 20 mm, 250 V, 1 A, quick-acting
tripping characteristics).
Never use a fuse with any other specifications. Never bridge a defective fuse!
There is a danger of fire!
• Plug the new fuse into the fuse holder. Attach the fuse holder back into the soldering station and screw it back on.
• Take the soldering station into operation again.
If the fuse trips again after activation, have the entire soldering station checked by a specialist.
