Accessories
The Seal is meant to prevent undesirable flux vapors or particles from entering inside the tool. Its
usage is highly recommended for intensive applications when soldering in exposed to FOD environ-
ments or for applications where the soldering iron works close to vertical position.
Replacing Seals
Before replacing the seal, unplug the power supply and make sure the device is not hot.
Note the Seal mounting posi-
tion. The chamfered side has
to be positioned towards the
Handle.

Notes
- Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause fire.
- The power cable must be plugged into approved bases. Make sure that it is properly grounded
before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.
- Do not work on electrically live parts.
- The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode.
The soldering tip, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot after the station
is turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the stand position.
- Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
- Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite.
- Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation
- Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.
- Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when
working to avoid personal harm.
- Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.
