GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
SOLDERING IRON WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b.Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
WARNING! The appliance is not to be used by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

Usage Tips
1. Ensure the solder used is appropriate for the application.
2. Press the hot soldering tip into
a damp sponge occasionally
to remove any excess solder
that may have accumulated on
the tip. Do not hold it there for
too long as this can burn the
sponge.
WARNING! DO NOT HOLD THE SPONGE. PLACE THE
SPONGE ON THE TABLE AND WIPE THE SOLDERING
TIP AGAINST IT.
3. Soldering provides an electrical connection between parts, it
does not provide a strong mechanical joint. When soldering
wires ensure that they are joined properly by twisting the
exposed wires around each other before soldering.
4. Use the soldering iron to heat the workpiece not the solder wire.
Pressing the soldering tip against the solder wire will cause the
solder to melt onto the tip instead of the workpiece.
5. Do not use more solder than required. Use just enough to make
contact between the workpieces.
6. Clean the workpiece with steel wool or fine sandpaper if it is not
clean. This provides a better surface for the solder to adhere to
and a better electrical contact between parts.
Soldering
1. Rest the soldering iron on the
stand.
2. Wet the sponge and squeeze
out any excess liquid. Place the
damp sponge in the tray on the
work station.
3. Plug the power cord into a mains socket and allow the tool to
heat up.
4. Use the clamps on the work
station to hold your workpieces
steady.
5. Use the soldering tip to heat the
workpiece up.
6. Hold the solder wire against
the heated workpiece. The
workpiece should be sufficiently
heated that the solder melts and
flows into the join.
Note: If the solder wire doesn’t
melt when touched to the
workpiece, then the workpiece has not heated sufficiently. Remove
the solder wire and allow the soldering iron to continue heating up
the workpiece.
7. Once enough solder has melted into the join, remove the solder
wire and then the soldering tip from the workpiece.
8. Allow the solder to cool and solidify.
