Before first use

- Unpacking the product

1. Take the product out of the packaging and remove all packaging materials and plastic wrappings.
2. Check to make sure that all listed parts are included (see "Scope of delivery").
3. Check whether the product and all parts are in good condition, if any damage or defect is detected, do not use the product, but follow the procedure described in chapter "Warranty".

NOTE

The soldering in 5 was checked for proper function at the end of the manufacturing process. It is therefore possible that the soldering iron may have a slight discolouration. This does not constitute a defect. The originally packaged product is brand new.

● Preparation

● Soldering iron stand

■ The soldering iron stand 11 is pre-assembled.
☐ Use the soldering iron stand 11 to lay down the soldering iron 5 safely during work breaks.

Do not allow the mains cd 1 to hang down. Otherwise the soldering iron stand 11 could tip over due to the weight of the soldering iron 5.

☐ Securing the soldering iron stand 11 (optional): Use the opening in the centre of the soldering iron stand to screw it to the worktop (mounting material is not included).

- Inserting/replacing the soldering tip

CAUTION! Risk of burns!

Before inserting/replacing the soldering 9 14:
-Switch off the soldering iron 5.
- Disconnect the mains plug 1 from the socket-outlet.
- Allow the soldering iron 5 including the soldering tip 9 14 to cool down completely.

▶ Never heat up the soldering in 5 without the soldering tip 9 14 inserted.

NOTE

Before first use and when using a new soldering 9, 14: The soldering tip must be tinned first (see “Soldering”).

1. Unscrew the fixing ring 7.
2. Pull off the sleeve 8.
3. Pull the soldering tip 9 14 out of the holding fixture 6.
4. Push the desired soldering tip 9 14 into the holding fixture 6 until it stops.
5. Push the sleeve 8 over the soldering tip 9 14 until it stops.
6. Tighten the fixing ring 7.

Operation

- Switching on/off

Switching on

1. Connect the mains plug 1 to a suitable socket-outlet.
2. Press and hold the on/off switch ② for approx. 2 seconds. The LED indicator ③ lights up.

LED indicator 3	Meaning
Lights up red	The soldering iron 5 is heating up.
Lights up green The	set temperature is reached. The soldering iron 5 is ready for use.
Off	The soldering iron 5 is switched off.

Switching off

NOTE

After each use: Put the soldering in 5 into the coil spring 10 of the soldering iron stand 11.

1. Press the on/off switch 2. The LED indicator 3 goes out.
2. After use: Disconnect the mains plug 1 from the socket-outlet.

- Setting the working temperature

NOTE

A prerequisite for flawless soldering is the use of a suitable soldering tin. Perfect solder joints can only be achieved if the correct soldering temperature is reached. If the soldering temperature is too low, the soldering tin does not flow sufficiently and causes unclean solder joints (so-called cold solder joints). If the soldering temperature is too high, the soldering flux burns and the soldering tin does not flow. In addition, the materials to be processed can be destroyed.
The following table lists the temperature settings for the most common applications. Deviations are possible depending on the soldering tin/manufacturer.

Temperature Application
approx. 200 °C	Melting point of the most frequently used soft solders
approx. 300 °C	Normal operation, e.g. when using lead-free soldering tin
approx. 400 °C	High soldering temperature, e.g. for desoldering small solder joints
approx. 480 °C	Maximum soldering temperature, e.g. for desoldering large solder joints

☐ Rotate the temperature control 4 until the ▽ mark points to the desired temperature.

- Sponge

⚠️ NOTICE! Risk of product damage!

Do not allow the hot soldering 9 14 to come into contact with a dry sponge 12. Otherwise, the sponge can be damaged.

☐ Use the sponge 12 to clean the soldering tip 9 14.

Before use:

-Slightly moisten the sponge ^12 .

-If the sponge ^12 is too moist: Wring out the sponge away from the soldering iron ^5 .

Soldering

CAUTION!

Inhaling vapours can lead to headaches and symptoms of fatigue, among other things.

NOTE

The soldering in 5 is ideal for soldering electronics.

NOTE

Due to its design, the soldering in 5 is especially suited for hard-to-reach areas and fine soldering work.
For extensive soldering work, we recommend cleaning the soldering tip 9 14 occasionally and re-tinning it if necessary.
Use the tweez 17 18 to precisely grip and hold small objects such as wires, chips or other electronic components. The tweezers are protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD).
The straight tweez ^17 are suitable for small to medium-sized objects.
The angled tweez 18 are suitable for hard-to-reach areas and for soldering work on circuit boards or for soldering jewellery.

1. Clean the soldering tip 9 14 on the moist sponge 12.
2. Tinning the soldering tip 9 14 (before starting the soldering work):
3. Heat up the unused or cleaned soldering tip 9 14.
   -Tin the soldering tip 9 14 through contact with the soldering tin 15.
4. If possible, connect the parts to be soldered together mechanically, e.g. by twisting wires into each other.
5. Guide the soldering tip 9 14 to the solder joint and heat it.
6. Melt the soldering tin 15 between the solder joint and soldering tip 9 14.

7. Add more soldering tin 15 until the entire solder joint is covered.

8. Remove the soldering tip 9 14 immediately so as not to overheat the molten solder.

9. Allow the solder to harden. Avoid any knocks or vibrations.

Stripping knife

NOTE

Use the stripping kr16 to expose the cable strands.

1. Insert your cable into the appropriate recess on the blade of the stripping knife 16.
2. Carefully cut into the cable insulation by pressing the movable part of the stripping knife 16 onto the blade and rotating it around the cable.

For thinner cables, use the blade at the tip of the stripping knife 16.

1. Pull off the insulation.

Desoldering

NOTE

▶ Use the desoldering br19 to soak up excess soldering tin 15.
Use the desoldering pur13 to desolder faulty solder joints. The desoldering pump extracts the liquid solder.

Desoldering braid

☐ Heat the desoldering braid 19 together with the workpiece. When the temperature is reached, the desoldering braid absorbs the excess soldering tin 15.

Desoldering pump

1. Press the pump plunger down until you hear it click into place.
2. Guide the soldering tip 9 14 to the faulty solder joint and heat it.
3. As soon as the metal has melted:

–Guide the desoldering pump ^13 directly to the melting point.

-Press the red suction button so that the soldering material is extracted and the area is desoldered.
