The soldering iron is made up of the following parts (see Figure 1):
1Electric power cable
2Handle with “pen” grip
3Heating element
4Interchangeable soldering tip

3 IMPROPER USE AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO:
Use the tool on unstable surfaces, which would be affected by heat or that are easily
flammable;
Place the soldering iron on an unsuitable stand, resulting in a risk of fire;
Allow the appliance to be used by untrained personnel and those who have not read
the instruction manual;
Use the device in climatic conditions that are not envisaged, in humid or dusty
environments and in potentially explosive atmospheres;
Use the soldering iron for a long period of time;
Use the soldering iron in the presence of children;
Replace the tips, perform inspections and maintenance without disconnecting the
power plug and when the soldering iron is still hot;
Modify and/or tamper with the device;
Use power sources other than those prescribed;
Throw water on the device and/or touch it with wet hands.
Burns
Be careful when you hold the soldering iron not to touch the tip, when still hot. You could
burn yourself!

4 HOW TO USE
4.1 Switching On and Off
Switching on and off is achieved by inserting (and removing) the
plug into a 230 V / 50 Hz socket To remove the plug, hold it by
the body and never pull the cord (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 – Removing the
plug
4.2 Using the soldering iron
Heating Precautions
Do not heat the soldering iron without the tip so as not to jeopardize the life of the
heating element. Also check that the tip is screwed on properly.
Allow the soldering iron to heat upon on a suitable support to prevent dangerous
overheating of parts that could become damaged or catch fire.
Before soldering, clean the parts to be soldered thoroughly.
Wait a few minutes before starting operation to allow the tip to heat up.
Always keep the tip clean and apply a sufficient layer of tin solder.
Only hold the soldering iron by the “pen” grip on the handle and place it on a suitable
support when not in use.
After finishing work let the soldering iron cool naturally. Never submerge it in water so as
to avoid the danger of electric shock.

5 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The purpose of this section is to provide all the information on the maintenance procedures
and frequency that the Soldering iron requires.
INTERVENTION
Frequency
Daily Weekly
1. General visual inspection X
2. General cleaning X
3. Maintenance of the tip X
1. General visual inspection: check the overall status of the device and, in particular, the
flexible power cable and the presence of any damage or missing parts.
Condition of the Power Supply Cord
The power cord will only resist contact with the hot metal parts for a brief moment. The
soldering iron can no longer be used if the cable has been damaged. Due to its special
design, the power cord can not be replaced.
2. General cleaning: cleaning is necessary to rid the soldering iron of deposits of tin, dust
or dirt which accumulate.
Risks associated with cleaning
Wait for the soldering iron to cool and gently wipe clean using a dry soft cloth. Do not use
organic solvents for cleaning.
3. Maintenance of the tip: the tip supplied is made of copper-plated metal. If it is used
properly it will have a long life:
Always keep the soldering iron tip on a suitable support after switching it off or before
storage until it reaches room temperature, only clean the tip before heating;
Do not keep the soldering iron at a high temperature for a long period of time, so as
not to damage the surface of the tip;
Remove the tip and clean it every week or every 20 hours of use and remove any
residue that forms on the stem, do not use cleaning fluids containing chlorine or acidic
fluids but rather resins or active resin fluids. Only clean the tip when it is cold, do not
ever clean it with abrasive coarse materials or with a file;
If an oxide layer has formed, it can be eliminated by gently rubbing it with No. 600-
800 sandpaper, or applying isopropyl alcohol or equivalent, and then immediately heat
and cover the tip with tin to prevent the rusting of the cleaned surface.

5.1 Replacing the tip
Burns
Only replace the tip when the metal parts are at room temperature.
Available in the Fervi catalogue there is a Soldering iron spare part tip set (art. 0033)
that you can request from your dealer.
The soldering iron must be unplugged and away from sources of heat before and during this
operation:
Manually unscrew the fastening screw support (1);
Remove the dirt that may have formed inside the
tip casing;
Put the new tip (2) into position;
Manually tighten the fastening screw support.
