After inhalation:
. Move those affected outdoors to fresh air. Do not leave them unattended. Call a
doctor immediately.
lf it comes into contact with skin:
. Wash the affected area immediately with water and soap and rinse it well. After
contact with the molten solder, coolthe area quickly with cold water. Do not pull
the solidified solder from the skin.
lf it comes into contact with eyes:
. Rinse the eye for several minutes under running water and consult a doctor.
lf swallowed:
. Consult a doctor immediately.
lleasures to be taken in case of accidental release

Usage
Assembling and changing the soldering tips
Disconnect the machine from the mains before performing any
maintenance or adjustments
Allow the soldering iron to cool down completely before replacing the
soldering tip.
Select a suitable tip for your application.
- The pointed soldering tip is particularly suitable for spot soldering and thin
cables.
- The flat soldering tip is particularly suitable for light electrical soldering work.
Loosen the fixing screw IEI on the
heating element IIl.
Remove the soldering tip El / El from
the heating element.
lnsert the desired soldering tip into the
heating element.
Then tighten the fixing screw again.
Usage
switching on and off
. lnsert the mains plug into the socket to switch on the soldering iron.
. Disconnect the mains plug to switch off the soldering iron.

Usage
Usage
The soldering iron, the soldering tip and the soldering iron holder
remain hot for some time after disconnection from the mains!
Place the soldering iron with appropriate tip in the
holder !l of the soldering iron stand El .
Connect the mains plug to a suitable power socket
and place the soldering iron set on a suitable base
that does not heat up and a pad that can handle
the dripping tin. Allow the soldering iron to heat up
for approx. 3 - 5 minutes.
a
a
Before soldering, the soldering tip has to be tinned. To do this, heat up a new or a
soldering tip that has been cleaned using the cleaning sponge Z and coat it by
making contact with the solder wire.
Before starting work on a particular workpiece and/or type of material, check for
suitability by testing the soldering iron on a similar piece of (scrap) material.
Clean the parts to be joined before soldering.
lf possible, mechanically connect the parts to be soldered together, for e.g. by twisting
wires together. Use the two retaining clips for positioning the parts correctly.
Heat the contact surface of the parts to be soldered using the soldering iron and guide
the filled flux solder wire to the extreme end of the soldering tip E,El and melt the
solder wire. The workpiece is coated with the flux, which flows out of the solder wire,
allowing the solderto join the metal.
lf the soldering iron is used for longer periods we recommend that you clean the tip
occasionally with the cleaning sponge and re-tin the tip if necessary.
Use a de-soldering braid (not supplied) to clean the joint, to de-solder and to remove
excess solder from the joint. Cover the excess solder with the de-soldering braid and
heat up the soldering tip. The melting solder is soaked up by the de-soldering braid.
Disconnect the power cable from the mains socket after soldering.
Allow the soldering iron to cool down in the holder before cleaning and storing it.
