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.
GB
g) Always hold the power cord away from the
working area of the appliance and run it to the
rear away from the appliance.
h) Always pull out the plug if you leave the app-
liance unattended or carry out work on the
appliance.
3. Personal safety
■
This appliance may be used by children aged
8 years and above and by persons with limited
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge, provided that
they are under supervision or have been told
how to use the appliance safely and are aware
of the potential risks. Children must not use the
appliance as a plaything. Cleaning and user
maintenance tasks may not be carried out by
children unless they are supervised.
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 influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
■
RISK OF BURNS! Do not touch the heated sol-
dering tip or the molten solder. There is a risk of
being burnt. Always allow the appliance to cool
down completely before changing components,
cleaning or checking it.
■
After work, allow the soldering iron to cool down
in the air only. Do not attempt to quench it with
water.
■
CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE! Use only the special
multi-functional holder or another fireproof
surface when putting down the soldering iron.
■
During breaks in work, the soldering iron must
be placed in the multi-functional holder.
24
■
Keep the appliance away from flammable
material.
■
Never leave a switched-on appliance unsuper-
vised.
■
CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY! Keep your hands
away from the heated workpiece. The heat can
be emitted through the workpiece. Therefore,
use the third hand to hold small workpieces.
■
Avoid contact between the hot soldering tip and
the plastic parts of the multi-functional holder.
Otherwise, the appliance might be damaged.
■
In case of danger, remove the plug from the
socket immediately.
■
CAUTION! RISK OF POISONING!
Avoid inhaling in vapours!
■
During work over an extended period in which
hazardous vapours can be created, always
ensure sufficient ventilation of the workplace.
In addition, protective gloves, a face mask and
work apron are recommended.
■
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking in rooms
where soldering work is taking place.
Otherwise, lead residues on your hands might
contaminate the food or cigarettes and be
absorbed into your body.
■
Always wash your hands thoroughly after
soldering.
■
Do not dispose of solder waste in normal house-
hold waste! Solder waste should be disposed of
with hazardous waste.
4. Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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 acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
