General power tool safety warnings

WARNING!

▶ Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Before use, read the manual!

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded/ mains adapter) power tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with

earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

g) Always hold the power cord away from the working area of the appliance and run it to the rear away from the appliance.

h) Always pull out the plug if you leave the appliance unattended or carry out work on the appliance.

CAUTION! RISK OF POISONING! Avoid inhaling vapours!

During work over an extended period in which hazardous vapours can be created, always ensure sufficient ventilation of the workplace. In addition, protective gloves, a face mask and work apron are recommended.

Avoid eating, drinking and smoking in rooms where

soldering work is taking place.

Otherwise, lead residues on your hands might contaminate the food or cigarettes and be absorbed into your body.

Always wash your hands thoroughly after soldering.

Do not dispose of solder waste in normal domestic waste! Solder waste should be disposed of with hazardous waste.

4. Power tool use and care

a) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

b) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

c) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Always ensure that the power plug or the power cord is replaced only by the manufacturer of the appliance or by an approved customer service provider. This will ensure that the safety of the appliance is maintained.

• Insert the roller frame(12) opening into the groove on the back of main body(6)
• Push the roller frame(12) down to hear a 'click'
• Make sure the limiting bump engage into the plastic slot.

Feeding/changing the solder wire (Fig. 1, 5)

Feeding the solder wire

• Unplug the device.
• Unpack the solder wire (8) from the solder wire roller (10).
• Use one hand to insert the solder wire (8) into the solder wire guide cone(13) and another hand to keep squeezing / releasing wire feeding trigger(5) until the solder wire(8) get into the wire feeding system.
• Free one hand and keep squeezing / releasing wire feeding trigger(5) until the solder wire (8) come out from the solder wire guide tube(4).

Note

The solder wire (8) could only go forward to protect the internal solder wire feeding system, use plier to cut off the extra solder wire(8) or pull out the last solder wire after the feeding system.

Change the solder wire

• Unplug the device
• For short solder wire change
  cut off solder wire (8) on the back and remove the solder wire (8) from solder wire roller (10) and solder wire guide tube (4)
  Wind new solder wire (8) on solder wire roller (10) and feed solder wire(8) for operation.
• For complete solder wire roller change
• Unscrew and remove shaft fixing screw (11)
  Remove old solder wire roller (10) and roller shaft (9) from roller frame (12)
  Put new solder wire roller (10) and roller shaft (9) into roller frame (12)
