• For all work on the soldering station, 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not immerse the unit in liquids of any kind.

• Do not use the unit to heat plastic or liquids.

• Never use the device on live electronic circuits. Make sure power to the work piece is cut and capacitors are discharged.

• Incorrect use may cause fire.

• Do not touch the shafts, tips, or hot air gun as this can cause serious burns. Keep the tips and hot air away from the body, clothes, or other flammable material.4

• Always let the device cool down after use and before storage.

• Place the device on a level, stable, and fire resistant working surface. Immediately unplug the soldering gun in case of

• The soldering gun is overheated.

• Malfunction of the mainsplug, socket or damaged cables.

• Smoke or smell caused by scorched insulation. During first time use the soldering iron may produce some smoke, this is grease used in manufacturing burning off. 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. Mains connection Only use earthed sockets with earthing wire connected per the regulations. Replacing cables or plugs Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones.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 mm2. When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely. The extension cords you use must always be earthed.

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

• Mount the iron holder (5) onto the station and put the soldering iron (3) in its holder.

• Lightly moisten the sponge [8] with some tap water.

• Mount the appropriate soldering tip (1) according to the soldering job (see below Replacing the Tip).

• Place the station onto a heatproof, flat and solid surface. Connect the soldering station to the mains and switch on with the on-off switch (4).

• Turn the temperature adjustment knob (7) to the desired temperature setting (ranging from 160°C to 500°C)

• Wait until the soldering tip has reached the selected temperature. Test the tip temperature by touching it with solder. The tip is hot enough when the solder melts away easily.

• 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.

• Clean the soldering tip on the sponge after each soldering.

• Place the soldering iron back in its holder, switch off and unplug from the mains after use.

• Let the soldering iron cool down, store away in a dry place.

Warning: This tool must be placed on its

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!

• Switch off the soldering station and disconnect from the mains. Let the soldering iron and tip cool down to room temperature before handling.

• Unscrew the fixing nut (2). Pull out the tip (1) from the soldering iron (3) and remove any oxide that may have formed on the barrel. Be careful to avoid getting dust in your eyes.

• Replace the tip (1) with another tip and screw the fixing nut (2) assembly onto the iron (3) using only hand pressure to tighten. Do not apply excessive pressure to avoid damage.

4. WORKING INDICATIONS

• 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).

• 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.6

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.
