Explanation of the symbols

In accordance with essential applicable safety standards of European directives

Class II machine – Double insulation – You don't need any earthed plug.

Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of non-observance of the instructions in this manual.

Indicates electrical shock hazard.

Immediately unplug the plug from the mains electricity in the case that the cord gets damaged and during maintenance

Specific safety instructions

Safe handling of the machine is only possible when you read the safety and operating instructions thoroughly and rigorously follow the instructions which are included inside.

• For all work on the soldering gun, pull the plug out of the socket.
• The power supply lead and the plug must be in perfect condition. Always keep the power supply lead away from the area of work.
• Do not drill into housing of the machine, as otherwise the double insulation will be broken (use adhesive shields).
• The voltage of the electric power source must tally with the instructions on the type plate of

the appliance.

• Always fasten the nut tightly when attaching the tip. This ensures a good electric connection.
• Ventilate the place of work sufficiently in order to take unwanted vapours quickly away from melting material.
• During use, the soldering gun should be left off.
• The mains power supply lead for the soldering gun may only be replaced by a specialist electrician.
• Use only original accessories which are supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.

Immediately unplug the soldering gun in case of

• The soldering gun is overheated.
- Malfunction of the mainsplug, socket or damaged cables.
- Brokenswitch.
- Smoke or smell caused by scorched insulation.

Electrical safety

When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions.

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

The machine is double insulated in accordance with EN60335-1:1994; therefore no earth wire is required

Replacing cables or plugs

Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.

Using extension cables

Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm^2 . When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely.

3. Operating

Use this appliance only for work which is included in the established operative range.

Soldering gun

Fig. A

• Switch-on: press switch 4 and leave pressed. Status indicator 3 lights up when the appliance is switched on.
• Switch-off: release switch 4.
• The duration of the current supply determines the heat of the solder (longer current supply = higher solder temperature). While soldering, do not keep the switch pressed for too long. Determine the necessary duration for current supply in practice through control of the temperature of the solder. In order to achieve a constant temperature, avoid constant current for more than 12 seconds and cutoff current of over 48 seconds. As soon as you release the switch, the temperature of the solder is automatically reduced. A subsequent turning on of the switch ensures a fast increase in temperature. Constant solder temperature guarantees optimum solder quality, avoids running the soldering tip at temperatures which are too high and extends the service life of the appliance.

Soldering iron

• Plug in the soldering iron. Insert the plug into the socket (with connection to earth). After a short heating time, the soldering iron is ready to use.
• Press the terminal pin strongly against the parts which are to be soldered so that these are heated. Ensure that the pin presses against the greatest possible surface area of the parts. Heat transfer is then at its greatest.
• Hold the tin solder wire at a safe distance so that you do not burn your fingers. Then pass the tin solder wire between the tip and the parts which are to be soldered.
• If the parts have been heated sufficiently, melt the tin solder and run it into the space between the parts which are to be joined together.
• Remove the pin from the parts which are to be joined together but without moving these and wait until the joint has cooled down and set (approx. 10 seconds.).
• If the joint has been soldered well, then you will obtain a polished, shiny surface.

Warning: This tool must be placed on its stand when not in use.

Below, we give you some examples of poorly soldered joints:

• If the soldering tin is tear-shaped, the soldering coagulate was too cold.
• If the soldering tin is dull and slightly porous or crystalline, the parts were probably moved during the cooling process.
• If too little soldering tin has been left in the joint, the soldering was too warm or the soldering tin was not melted sufficiently.
• If the soldering tin is yellow or black, this means that too much soldering paste has been used or that the inner core of the tin solder wire has become overheated during soldering. You must avoid this above all in electronic circuits since most acid pastes are corrosive and reduce the service life of electronic wiring.

Replacement of the soldering tip

Pull out the mains plug!

• tip and housing of the soldering gun are connected by means of a contact piece so that the soldering gun can be comfortably repaired and changed. Wear and tear of the tip after longer periods of use make replacement necessary at regular intervals.
  • To replace the soldering tip:
• Unscrew the 2 fixing screws, which hold the tip and the housing together, and remove the old tip.
• Put in the new tip 1 and tighten up the two screws 2 again. The appliance is now ready for work again.

4. Working indications

For good soldering

• The soldering joint must be reguline. Remove oxidation, grease and so forth by means of mechanical (abrasive paper, brushes, file) or chemical cleaners (alcohol, fluxing agent).
• The soldering tip
• Give a good plating of soldering tin.

• Never work on it with a file.

• Pretinplating of the parts which are to be tinplated makes the soldering easier and ensures a perfect electrical contact.

• Ensure that the wires are mechanically connected before soldering (twist together, hook into place, attach round eyelets).
• First heat up the soldering joint and then melt the solder over the soldering joint and allow it to flow in.
• Melt as little solder as possible.
• Keep the heat load (soldering time) as short as possible.
• A perfect soldering joint is shiny and smooth. The edge shows a clean, bonding join to the metal.

Soldering tin solder

Soldering tin is essentially an alloy of tin and lead. The designation of 60/40 means a combination of 60% tin with 40% lead. For electrically soldered joints, use only non-acid solder and fluxing agent. For information on special solder for specific work, consult the manufacturer.

Flux

The melting of the solder is improved with the use of flux while, at the same time, impurities such as grease or metal oxide are removed and evaporate during soldering.

• Organic fluxing agents like colophonium and resins for acid-free soldering.
• Inorganic fluxing agents, which are highly effective these are effective but corrosive.

Use only for larger joints and clean the soldering joint thoroughly afterwards.

Printed circuits

The strip conductors and the miniature component parts are very temperature-sensitive and can therefore be easily damaged. Pay attention to the following:

• Prepare the soldering work well.
• Pre-assemble the component parts.
- Secure the printed circuit board or soldering joint against shifts.
- Use only first class solder with anticorrosive flux.
- Do not apply any surplus solder.
- Keep the soldering time (heat load) as short as possible.

Handling of plastic

As it is used for many household items, flooring materials and toys, plastic can be worked on with the soldering gun. The shape of the cutting point is specially designed for this.

• Warm up the cutting point carefully and check until the material becomes pasty.
• Temperatures which are too high will harden or burn the material. Plastic may therefore separate or a point of rupture join together again.

Burning work on wood or leather

If you enjoy burning work, then the cutting point offers you a special accessory specially prepared for engraving. The rapid adaptation of the working temperature to the material allows for work without interruptions.

5. Service & maintenance

Repairs may only be carried out by a qualified electrician or at a service workshop!

These machines have been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper machine care and regular cleaning.

Cleaning

Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine. Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts.

Lubrication

The machine requiers no additional lubrication.

Faults

Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please contact the service address on the warranty card.

Environment

To prevent damage during transport, the appliance is delivered in a solid packaging which consists largely of reusable material. Therefore please
