Safety advice
■ CAUTION! Failure to observe the instructions and advice given below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
Do not work with the device in potentially explosive environments in which there are inflammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes.
Keep children and other people away while you are operating the electrical tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the device.
2. Electrical safety
To avoid danger to life from electric shock:
a) The mains plug on the device must match the mains socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Water entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.
c) Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if operating the electrical power tool in a moist environment is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not use the mains lead for any purpose for which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the device, to hang up the device or to pull the mains plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the device. Damaged or tangled mains leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e) Do not operate the device if the mains lead or mains plug is damaged.
WARNING! A damaged mains lead presents a serious danger to life from electric shock.
f) Always keep the mains lead out of the operating area and run it away from the rear of the device.
g) Always pull out the mains plug if you are about to leave the device unattended or wish to carry out any tasks on the device.
3. Personal safety
a) Children or persons who lack the knowledge or experience to use the device or whose physical, sensory or intellectual capacities are limited must never be allowed to use the device without supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety. Children must never be allowed to play with the device.
b) Remain alert at all times, watch what you are doing and always proceed with caution. Do not use the device if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness when using the device can lead to serious injury.
DANGER OF BURNS! Never touch the hot soldering tip or the molten solder. You could suffer burn injuries. Always let the device cool before you replace components on the device, clean it or check its condition.
■ After use let the soldering pencil cool down in air only. Under no circumstances quench the tip in water!
CAUTION! DANGER OF FIRE! Place the soldering pencil down only in the special multifunctional holder or on a fire-resistant pad.
- Place the soldering pencil in the multifunctional holder during pauses in your work.
- Keep the device away from combustible material.
■ Never leave the device switched on and unattended.
CAUTION! DANGER OF INJURY! Keep your hands away from the hot workpiece. The heat from soldering can be conducted through the workpiece. For this reason you should use the third hand to hold small workpieces.
- Avoid placing the hot soldering tip in contact with the plastic parts of the multifunctional holder. Failure to observe this advice may result in damage to the device.
If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug immediately out of the mains socket.
CAUTION! DANGER OF POISONING! Do not breathe air contaminated with soldering fumes.
When working with the device for long periods do not allow the fumes from soldering to build up. They may be hazardous to health. Always provide adequate ventilation of your working area. In addition, it is recommended that you wear protective gloves, a face mask and a protective apron.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in rooms where soldering is carried out. Otherwise your hands may transfer any adhering traces of lead via food or cigarettes into your body.
■ Always wash your hands immediately after soldering.
- Do not dispose of soldering waste with the household rubbish. Soldering waste must disposed of as special waste.
4. Careful handling and use of electrical power tools
a) When not in use always ensure that electrical power tools are kept out of reach of children. Do not let anyone use the device if he or she is not familiar with it or has not read the instructions and advice. Electrical power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people.
b) Look after the device carefully. Check for broken parts or parts that are damaged to the extent they detrimentally affect the functioning of the device. Have any damaged parts repaired before you use the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical tools.
● Original accessories/attachments
■ Use only the accessories detailed in the operating instructions. The use of attachments or accessories other than those recommended here could lead to you suffering an injury.
- Before first use
- Inserting / replacing soldering tips
CAUTION! DANGER OF BURNS! Allow the soldering pencil to heat up without a soldering tip.
■ Remove a soldering tip only when the device has been switched off and the soldering tip has cooled.
☐ Turn the soldering tip out to replace it.
You must 'tin', i.e. thinly coat with solder, the soldering tip 7 before using the soldering station for the first time and before using a new soldering tip.
To do this follow these steps:
☐ Insert the mains plug into a mains socket and press the ON / OFF switch 2 into position "1".
☐ Turn the temperature regulator 6 to 2 and allow a little solder to flow and deposit a thin continuous film over the surface of the soldering tip.
- Using the product
- Switching on / off and setting the temperature
Switching on and setting the temperature:
☐ Insert the mains plug into a mains socket and press the ON / OFF switch 2 into position "I".
☐ Turn the temperature control 6 to set the temperature you wish to have.
Problems will occur during soldering if an unsuitable solder wire used. The right soldering temperature must be achieved to produce perfect soldering. If the temperature is too low the solder does not flow enough and causes contamination of the solder at the joint, a so-called “cold joint”. At too high a temperature, the flux (flowing aid) burns and the solder does not flow. The high temperatures may also damage the workpiece.
The temperature settings suitable for most soldering tasks are given below. The precise settings may vary, depending on the solder and the manufacturer.
Level min = room temperature
Setting 1 = approx. 100 ^ - warming up stage and for solder with a low melting point
Setting 2 = 200 °C melting point of most common soft solders
Setting 3 = 300 °C normal operating temperature, e.g. for high melting point solder
Setting 4 = 400 °C high soldering temperature, e.g. for desoldering small soldered joints
Setting 5 = 500 °C maximum soldering temperature, e.g. for desoldering large soldered joints
Switching off:
Note: After use always replace the soldering pencil 1 into the holder.
☐ Press the ON / OFF switch 2 into setting "0".
If the device is not being used, pull the mains lead out of the mains socket.
Overheating protection:
This device has overheating protection. This is triggered by the device reaching too high a temperature. The flow of current is interrupted. The device switches off and the ON/OFF switch 2 light ceases to illuminate. The device is ready for use again after approximately 10 minutes. The ON/OFF switch 2 light illuminates again.
- Solder sponge
CAUTION! The hot soldering tip 7 must never be placed in contact with a dry solder sponge 5, otherwise the solder sponge may be damaged.
☐ The solder sponge 5 is used to clean soldering tips.
□ Moisten the solder sponge 5 before you use it.
Soldering
- The soldering pencil has a rated output of 48 watts and is therefore ideal for electronics soldering (see Figs. A, B).
- The design of the soldering pencil makes it especially suitable for use where access is difficult or for fine soldering work.
Using the product / Maintenance and cleaning
□ Clean the soldering tip 7 on the moist solder sponge 5
☐ After cleaning the tip 7 it must be "tinned" (coated with solder). This is done by melting solder on to the hot soldering tip 7
☐ Guide the soldering tip 7 to the intended joint site and heat the joint.
☐ Place the solder (with flux) between the joint site and the tip to melt it.
□ Continue to feed further solder until the whole joint has a covering of solder.
☐ Then quickly remove the soldering tip in order to avoid overheating the molten solder.
☐ Allow the solder to harden while not subjecting it to vibration or movement.
Note: The flux is either already contained in the solder or applied separately. Ask the advice of the retailer when buying solder in order to choose the most suitable solder for your intended purpose.
Attachments and applications:
ATTENTION! Do not carry out any special changes or repairs to the electrics or other parts. Exceptions are permitted if the person carrying out such changes or repairs is qualified or trained to do so.
