WARNING: Only use soldering iron stands suitable for the wattage of your soldering iron. Do

not use high wattage irons with light small soldering iron stands. IMPORTANT: Use soldering irons safely. Use promptly when the soldering iron has reached the required temperature and switch off immediately after use.• Soldering appliances become extremely hot during use. Do not touch any part of the appliance other than the handle

• Switch ‘OFF’ and allow the appliance to cool completely before attempting to change any ttings
• Do not leave this appliance unattended whilst hot• Heat may be conducted to hidden areas or materials near to the work area.
