Safety Guidelines
The following are safety precautions that personnel must understand and follow when using or servicing this
product.
1. POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD - Repair procedures on PACE products should be performed by Qualified
Service Personnel only. Line voltage parts may be exposed when the equipment is disassembled.
Service personnel must avoid contact with these parts when troubleshooting the product.
2. All handpiece heaters and installed tips are hot when the handpiece is powered on and for a
period of time after power off. DO NOT touch either the heater or the tip. Severe burns may
result.
3. PACE Tip & Tool Stands and handpiece cubbies are designed specifically for use with the
associated handpiece and houses it in a manner that protects the user from accidental burns.
Always store the handpiece in its holder. Be sure to place the handpiece in its holder after use and
allow heater / tip to cool before storing.
4. Always use PACE systems in a well ventilated area. A fume extraction system such as those
available from PACE are highly, recommended to help protect personnel from solder flux
fumes.
5. Exercise proper precautions when using chemicals (e.g., solder paste). Refer to the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) supplied with each chemical and adhere to all safety precautions
recommended by the manufacturer.
