On first use the soldering iron may produce smoke, this is just grease used in
manufacturing burning off, it is not harmful to the product or user.
Safety Instructions
The construction of the soldering station meets Protection Level I. Ensure the
earth conductor is not disconnected and the product is only connected to
earthed sockets.
Keep electrical appliances and accessories away from children! They are not
toys.
Never use the product immediately after it has been brought in from the cold
into a warm room.
Condensation might destroy your device. Wait until the product is at room
temperature before use. Never touch the appliance with damp or wet hands
there is the risk of a dangerous electrical shock.
Make sure to have sufficient ventilation while soldering; solder or solder flux
can be harmful.
Wash your hands thoroughly after working with solder containing lead; do not
let solder containing lead cross your lips; do not cat during the work.
The power cables (power cable and cable to soldering iron) have to
be protected against heat and sharp edges.
Wear appropriate protective clothing and safety goggles while soldering.

Do not touch any other area but the handle when the soldering iron is working.
It is very hot!
Do not leave children alone in the presence of the soldering iron.
Soldering must be done on non-combustible surfaces. Make sure any material
in the vicinity can not be damaged by the heat.
When the device can no longer be operated safely, disconnect it immediately
and secure it against being operated unintentionally.
It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:
•the device exhibits visible damage;
•the device no longer works;
•it has been stored for a long lime under unfavorable conditions;
•the device was exposed to extraordinary stress caused by transport.
Operation
Unpack the soldering station and check all parts. Damaged parts may not be put
in to operation.
Put the holding rack for the soldering iron sideways in the soldering station,
wet the cleaning sponge in the sponge rack with water.
Put the soldering iron tin the holding rack.
Place the soldering station on a solid and dry surface.
Connect the mains plug to a socket and turn on the soldering station by using
the power switch (I=ON / 0=OFF). When turned on, the power switch is lit.

Always put the soldering iron on the holding rack when it is heating up or
during breaks from soldering.
Make sure the contacts for soldering on the work place are clean.
Only use solder for electronics. Acidic solder can damage the soldering tip or
the work piece.
Regulate the desired temperature of the soldering iron with the adjusting knob.
For larger soldering tip adjust the temperature up wards to perform the
soldering as fast as possible and as long as necessary.
Lower the temperature during breaks, this saves energy and extends the
durability of the soldering tip.
Wait about 2-3 minutes until the soldering tip reaches the adjusted temperature,
test the temperature by touching the soldering tip with solder, if the solder
melts away easily you can start soldering.
Tin the hot soldering tip with solder; wipe off excessive solder on the wet
cleaning sponge.
Pleat up the soldering location with the soldering tip and add solder.
Let the soldering point cool down.
Clean the soldering tip on the wet sponge after each soldering.
After finishing the soldering, put back the soldering iron in the rack and turn off
the soldering station.
Do not file off the soldering tip, or it will be damaged.
Never touch the hot soldering tip.
Let the soldering iron cool down after use.
The soldering iron may not he dunked into water.
During breaks, the soldering iron has to be placed in the holding rack.

CAUTION!
Handle the heated soldering iron with extreme care, as the
high temperature of the iron can cause fires or painful bums.
The first time you use the soldering iron, it may smoke
slightly as the heating element dries out. This is normal and
should onty last for approx. 10 minutes.
Never file the specially-plated tip.
MAINTENANCE
This tool must be placed on its stand when not in use.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
TIP REPLACEMENT
Note: Tip replacement or cleaning should be done only when the iron is at room
temperature or below. The tip can be changed or replaced simply by
unscrewing the knurled nut barrel assembly. The station must be switched off
and allowed to cool down before and during this operation, as damage may
occur if the system is left on without the tip inserted. After removing tip
remove any oxide dust that may have formed in the tip retaining area of the
barrel. Be careful to avoid getting dust in your eyes. Replace the tip and screw
the retaining knurled nut barrel assembly using only hand pressure to tighten.
Pliers should only be used to tighten the nut if loosening occur when the iron is
hot to avoid burning your fingers. Do not over tighten as this would damage the
element.
