WARNING: This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to

the state of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. This also applies to lead based solders. Extension Cords An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of performance. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation and defective fittings. Make any needed repairs or replace the cord if necessary. To determine the minimum size required, refer to the chart below: Polarized Plug This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other ). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

WARNING: Allow tips to cool before

changing and before storing tips. Knife Point Assembly

WARNING: Cut hazard. Knife blade is

razor sharp. Use extra care when handling knife blade at all times. Note: Knife blade is replaceable through your local hobby and art supplies stores. Refer to figure 5 for the assembly of the hot knife point. Place the knife into the holder, then place the holder into the sleeve. Carefully thread the assembly onto the Craft Iron handle. 3rd Hand Grippers and Sponge Fig. 6 Your Craft Iron includes two flexible arm grippers which are helpful when working with small items. Note that the alligator clips which grip the item being heated may become quite hot. Allow ample time for the clips to cool before touching the grips or storing the Craft Iron. The sponge located in the base of the Craft Iron is helpful in keeping the interchangeable tips clean. CAUTION: Sponge must be thoroughly dampened before use and checked frequently to make sure that it has not dried out. Do not touch a dry sponge with a hot iron point. Avoid hot tip contact with plastic parts of base.

Assembly Insert the coiled spring support into the Craft Iron (figure 1) base by aligning the protrusions on the support with the slots in the opening. Push the support straight in until it “clicks” into place. Operation

WARNING: Be aware that this product may

ignite material. Where this is a concern, test a piece of scrap material. Also protect what is under the workpiece with a heat resistant material to avoid heat damage to a table. etc. Turning The Unit On Note: The channel around the bottom of the base serves as a cord wrap for the cord. To turn the Craft Iron On, plug the cord into an appropriate 120V outlet. The tip will begin to heat up as soon as the Craft Iron is plugged in. Push the switch shown in figure 2 to select either the LOW (I) setting or HIGH setting (II). Use the HIGH setting (II) for woodburning and soldering applications and the LOW setting (I) for iron-on/plastics, paper and fabric. Ready For Use Indicator A “ready for use” indicator shown in figure 3 is built-in to the handpiece of the Craft Iron. The indicator starts out solid gray at room temperature. When the window shows solid yellow the tip has reached the LOW (I) temperature (approximately 5 minutes). When the window shows solid red the tip has reached the HIGH (II) temperature.

632901-00 Iron 10/24/05 12:37 PM Page 45 Basic Soldering Tips Note: The process of “tinning” the soldering tip is helpful to insure a good soldering joint. A tinned tip has a thin layer of solder applied to it and is free of solder flux. “Flux” is the chemical contained in most solder wire which helps to clean the area about to be joined. When purchasing solder check to see that it contains flux or else apply flux to the joint area as directed.

1. Set Craft Iron to Hi (II) and wait until Ready to Use Indicator shows

solid “RED” indicating iron has reached desired temperature.

2. When working with small pieces, use the 3rd hand grippers to

arrange the 2 pieces being soldered so they are in contact. Insure that the material under the grippers is heat resistant and will not be harmed by any excess solder. For larger pieces, insure that your workpiece is resting on a heat resistant surface to avoid heat damage to a table. etc.

3. Wipe the tip on the moistened sponge to remove old solder.

4. Touch solder to the hot tip to just coat or tin the tip.

5. Hold the soldering tip against the larger workpiece near the joint

area. The objective is to heat the 2 work pieces until they are hot enough to melt the solder. In stained glass work, lightly touch the tip of the iron to the copper foiled seam.

6. Hold the solder against the workpiece near the joint, but not

touching the soldering tip.

7. When the workpiece is hot enough, the solder will flow into the

8. Remove the Craft Iron as soon as the solder flows.
