GENERAL SAFETY CONDITIONS

NOTE! Get acquainted with all the instructions below. Failure to observe them may lead to an electric shock, fire or injuries. The notion of electric tool used in the instructions applies to all the tools which are powered with electric current, both wire tools and wireless ones.

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS

Place of work

The place of work must be properly illuminated and clean. Disorder and poor illumination may be a cause of accidents. Do not work with electric tools in explosive environments, or those which contain inflammable liquids, gases or vapours. Electric tools generate sparks, which may cause a fire in case of contact with inflammable gases or vapours. Do not allow children and outsiders to the place of work. A lack of concentration may result in a loss of control over the tool.

Electric safety

The plug of the power supply cable must fit the mains socket. Do not modify the plug. Do not use any adapters whatsoever in order to adapt the plug to the socket. Unmodified plug which fits the socket reduces the risk of an electric shock. Avoid contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, heaters and refrigerators. Grounding of the body increases the risk of an electric shock. Do not expose electric tools to precipitation or humidity. Water and humidity which gets into the electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock. Do not overload the power supply cable. Do not use the power supply cable in order to carry the tool or to connect and disconnect the plug from the mains socket. Avoid contact of the power supply cable with heat, oils, sharp tools and moving elements. Damage to the power supply cable increases the risk of an electric shock. In case work is realised outside closed areas, it is necessary to use extension cords designed for applications outside closed areas. Using a correct extension cord permits to reduce the risk of an electric shock.

Personal safety

Commence work in good physical and psychological conditions. Pay attention to what you do. Do not work if you are tired or under effects of medicines or alcohol. Even a moment's inattention during work may lead to serious injuries. Always use individual means of protection. Always wear goggles. Using individual means of protection, such as dust-masks, protective shoes, helmets and hearing protections permits to reduce the risk of serious injuries. Avoid accidental activation of the

tool. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position, before you connect the tool to the mains. Holding the tool with a finger on the switch or connecting an electric tool when the switch is in the ON position may lead to serious injuries. Before you turn an electric tool on remove all the spanners and other tools, which have been used for adjustments. A spanner left on rotating elements of the tool may lead to serious injuries. Keep your balance. Maintain an appropriate position. It will permit to control the electric tool in case of unpredicted situations during its operation. Use protective clothes. Do not wear loose clothes or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from moving elements of the electric tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair may get caught on moving elements of the tool. Use dust extractors or dust containers, if the tool is equipped with any. Make sure they are properly connected. Using of dust extractors permits to reduce the risk of serious injuries.

Operation of the electric tool

Do not overload the electric tool. Use a proper tool for the given purpose. A correct selection of the tool for the given work will result in a more efficient and safer work. Do not use the electric tool if the switch is not functioning properly. A tool which may not be controlled by means of a switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the mains socket before any adjustment, replacement of accessories or storage of the tool. It will permit to avoid accidental activation of the electric tool. Store the tool away from children. Do not allow untrained persons to operate the tool. An electric tool may be dangerous in hands of an untrained person. Make sure the tool is properly maintained. Check the tool in order to detect any unfitting or loose moving elements. Check whether the elements of the tool are not damaged. In case any damaged elements of the tool are detected, they must be repaired before the electric tool is operated. Many accidents are caused by improper maintenance of tools.

The soldering tool may be connected solely to the 230V/50Hz mains. In order to avoid fire and burns, always use special non-flammable bases under the soldering tool. Once the soldering tool has been heated, it must be held solely by the handle. Touching of the soldering tip or other metal elements of a hot soldering tool may cause burns. Do not permit any contact of the power supply cable with hot metal elements since this might result in an electric shock. If the cable is damaged, the soldering tool must be disconnected from the power supply mains. It is prohibited to work with a soldering tool with a damaged power supply cable. A damaged cable must be replaced by an authorised service centre. Do not repair damaged electric cables of the tool. After work, the tool must be placed on the base to cool. This is the only acceptable manner of cooling the tool. Do not cool the soldering tool placing it in water, since this may cause an electric shock. The soldering tip of the soldering tool must be replaced solely when the power supply if off. The plug of the power supply cable must be disconnected from the mains. Before you proceed to replace the soldering tip, make sure the soldering tool has cooled. The soldering tip must be inserted until you feel resistance. Fasten the soldering tip in the fixture securely. Do not heat the soldering tool if a soldering tip is not installed. A lack of a soldering tip during heating may cause a premature wear of the heating element of the soldering tool. Before you proceed to heating, make sure the soldering tip is securely fastened to the soldering tool. Maintain the heating element and the soldering tip of the soldering tool clean. It is prohibited to touch electric cables insulation with a hot soldering tip. It is prohibited to use the soldering tool in high humidity conditions and in an explosive atmosphere containing gases and explosives or caustic dusts. Do not solder live element!

PREPARATION FOR WORK AND USING OF THE TOOL

Before work is commenced, make sure the body the cable with a plug and the extension cords are not damaged. If necessary, the tool must be cleaned and the ventilating holes cleared. If any damage is detected, it is prohibited to continue working! Note! All the actions related to replacement or cleaning elements of the soldering tool must be realised when the power supply of the tool is off, so before you proceed to these actions: Disconnect the plug of the power supply cable of the tool from the mains socket! Soldering must be realised by an adult acquainted with the industrial safety regulations related to soldering. Before the tool is used, make sure the parameters of the power supply mains correspond to the data presented in the rating plate. Before soldering, clean thoroughly the metal elements to be soldered as well as the soldering tip of the soldering tool. In case the soldering tip is burnt, replace it with a new one.
