5.3 Electrical connection
The mains socket must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
Never pull the mains plug from the socket by pulling at the cable. Always pull it from the
mains socket using the intended grips.
For safety reasons, always unplug the device during thunderstorms.
Make sure that the mains cable is not squeezed, bent, damaged by sharp edges or sub-
jected to mechanical stress. Avoid excessive thermal stress on the mains cable from ex-
treme heat or cold. Do not modify the mains cable. Failure to adhere to these instructions
may lead to damage of the mains cable. A damaged mains cable can cause a deadly
electric shock.
Do not touch the mains cable if it is damaged. First, power down the respective mains
socket (e.g. via the respective circuit breaker) and then carefully pull the mains plug from
the mains socket. Never use the product if the mains cable is damaged.
To prevent risks, damaged power cables may only be replaced by the manufacturer, a
professional workshop appointed by the manufacturer, or a similarly qualified person.
Never connect or disconnect power plugs when your hands are wet.
Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. Risk of
injury.
5.4 Usage
Never touch the barrel or tip of the soldering iron during use. There is a risk of burns!
Never use the soldering iron to heat up liquids.
Never solder live electrical components or parts. Always switch off the power before-hand.
Do not cover or fasten any items to the soldering iron. Otherwise there is a risk of fire.
Touching or soldering capacitors (or similar components) or leads/cables that are con-
nected to capacitors may cause a fatal electric shock! Capacitors may stay charged for
several hours after you switch off the power supply!
Always solder on non-flammable surfaces. Protect other materials nearby from damage
through heat.
Risk of fire or explosion! Do not use around or near explosive or flammable materials.
Turn the power off and place the soldering iron on the stand while taking breaks or
not using the device.
5.5 Work safety
Only work with sufficient lighting at your workstation.
Ensure proper ventilation during soldering. Solder or solder flux can be harmful.
Wash your hands thoroughly after working with solder. This is particularly important when
using lead-based solder.
Do not put soldering alloys into your mouth. Do not eat or drink during soldering.
Wear suitable protective clothing and safety goggles when soldering. Liquid/splashing sol-
der may cause serious burns or eye damage.
For installations in industrial facilities, follow the accident prevention regulations for electri-
cal systems and equipment of the government safety organization or the corresponding
authority for your country.
6 Soldering stand
Do not overbend or adjust the height too many times as this may break the metal.
7 Cleaning and care
Always keep the tip tinned before switching off or storing for any period of time.
Never clean the tip with coarse, abrasive materials like files.
If oxide forms on the soldering tip, rub it lightly with sandpaper, wipe it clean and heat it
again immediately. Then, tin the tip to prevent re-oxidation of the wettable surface.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as
they can cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
