damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them.
This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the charger from the mains socket during storms.
• Caution, risk of burning! The soldering tip becomes very hot. Do touch it.
• Always allow the soldering iron to cool down to room temperature on a heat-
resistant surface after use.
• Do not inhale any vapours. Vapours are harmful. Only work with a flue.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the
appliance.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician

Operation
Also refer to the "Safety instructions"!
a) Charging the Rechargeable Battery
1 Place the charging station on a clean, even, secure, stable and heat-resistant working
surface.
2 Insert the correct end of the soldering iron into the charging station. The on/off switch must
be switched to 0 (off).
3 Connect the charger's round plug to the charging station's connection socket.
4 Connect the charger's power plug to a suitable power outlet. The LED on the charger lights
up red to indicate the rechargeable battery-operated soldering iron is charging. Charging
takes approx. 3-4 hours depending on the charge state of the rechargeable battery. The
LED on the charger lights up green when the rechargeable battery is fully charged.
5 Unplug the charger's power plug from the power outlet.
b) Handling
1 Remove the soldering iron from the charging station. Switch the on/off switch to I to unlock
the soldering iron.
2 Press the on/off switch to heat up the soldering tip. The tip takes about 15-25 seconds to
heat up. To solder, hold the soldering iron like a pencil while pressing the on/off switch. The
red power indicator by the on/off switch and the white working light near the soldering tip
light up. The soldering tip is heated as long as you press the on/off switch.
3 Release the on/off switch during short pauses while soldering. During longer pauses, switch
the on/off switch to 0.
4 Place the soldering iron on a heat-resistant surface while it is cooling down.
5 After the product has cooled down to room temperature, replace it on the charging station.
Observe the correct position of soldering tip and contacts.
