OPERATION
• Assemble the soldering iron stand and moisten
the cleaning sponge with water.
• Insert the soldering iron into the stand.
• Place the soldering station on a stable and dry surface.
• Connect the soldering station and turn it on (I=ON/0=OFF).
• Adjust the temperature using the dial.
• Test the temperature by touching the tip of
the soldering iron with solder. If the solder melts easily,
you can begin soldering.
• Tin the hot tip of the soldering iron with solder;
wipe off excess solder with the damp cleaning sponge.
• Heat the soldering tip with the soldering iron
and add solder.
• Wait for the solder to cool down.
• Clean the tip with the wet sponge
after each soldering operation.
• Place the soldering iron in the stand to cool down
 afternishingworkandturnoffthesolderingstation.
• For larger solder joints, increase the temperature
to achieve a better soldering result.
• Lower the temperature during breaks to save energy
and extend the life of the soldering tip.
• Donotlethesolderingtip,asitwilldamageit.
• Always place the soldering iron in the stand
while heating up or during breaks.
• Use only special electronics solder.
• Always unplug the device before cleaning.
TIP REPLACEMENT
Note: Tip replacement or cleaning should only be done when
the soldering tip is at room temperature or cooler.
• The tip can be replaced or removed by simply
unscrewing the knurled nut.
• The station must be turned off and cooled before
and during this process, as the system can be damaged
if left on without the tip inserted.
• After removing the tip, remove any oxide dust that has
accumulated in the tip‘s retaining area.
Be careful not to get dust in your eyes.
• Reinsert the tip and hand-tighten the knurled nut
onto the cylinder.
• Only use pliers to tighten the nut if the soldering tip has
 comeloosewhilehottoavoidburningyourngers.
• Do not overtighten the nut, as this would damage
the soldering iron.
GENERAL CLEANING
• The outer casing of the soldering iron or station can be
cleaned with a damp cloth and a little liquid detergent.
• Never immerse the device in liquid or allow liquid
to enter the station‘s housing.
• Do not use solvents for cleaning.

the device.
• Pleasenotethatanytechnicalmodicationsto
the device will immediately void its approval.
• Keep the user manual for the device.
• Duringtherstuse,thesolderingironmayproduce
smoke; this is only the burning of the grease used in its
manufacturing. It is not harmful to the product or the user.
• Do not leave the device unattended when it is turned on.
• Protect your eyes and body from hot solder splatters by
wearing appropriate protective gear.
• The fumes produced during soldering are harmful in the
long term. Therefore, soldering work should only be done
in well-ventilated rooms or under suitable extraction.
• Soldering work should only be performed on de-energized
and voltage-free components.
• For using the soldering station in industrial settings,
adhere to the respective legal regulations for
accident prevention.
• Soldering irons can reach temperatures of over 160°C.
This can cause severe burns. The soldering iron should
never be immersed in water to cool down.
• When soldering cables and contacts, ensure that
conductive, bare metal parts are protected against contact
through suitable measures
 (usingnon-ammablematerial).
• Placethesolderingstationonastable,atsurface.
• Turn off the device and unplug it when not in use
or before cleaning.
• Do not pull on the power cord; always grip the plug directly.
• Let the device cool down before cleaning or storing it.
• Do not drop the device; it could get damaged upon
impact on a hard surface.
• Do not leave packaging materials lying around;
 plasticlms/bags,Styrofoamparts,etc.,couldbecomea
dangerous toy for children.
• The device is not intended for children; it is not a toy!
