use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved. Children must not play with the tool.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
To prevent the risk of injury, damaged mains cables may only
be replaced by the manufacturer, by customer service or by a
similarly qualified person.
Allow the soldering iron to cool down completely after use
before you put it away. WARNING! The soldering iron must
be stored in the soldering stand when not in use.
Do not use the soldering iron if the handle, the mains cable or
the mains plug are damaged. Never open the soldering gun's
housing!
Safety instructions for your soldering iron
Follow the safety instructions contained in this
manual. Failure to follow the safety warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, burns, fire or
toxic fumes.
h

05
Do not expose the soldering iron to moisture or rain.
- We recommend that you work in the vicinity of the mains socket
so that you can quickly pull the plug from the socket in the event
of an emergency.
Make sure that the tip is correctly fitted before heating the
soldering iron. The tip must be screwed in as far as it will go and
tightened by hand.
Never heat up the soldering iron without a soldering tip fitted.
- The soldering tip may only be removed or changed when it is
cold and when the soldering iron is off.
- Avoid contact between the hot parts of the soldering iron and
the plastic parts of the soldering iron stand.
- Do not touch the hot soldering iron tip, melted solder or hot
components while soldering: risk of burns! The soldering stand
can become hot when the soldering iron is placed on it. Danger
of burns!
Only use the device in well ventilated rooms. Toxic fumes can
be produced when soldering, which can lead to damage to
the mucous membranes and/or chronic respiratory illness.
Additionally, we recommend that you wear eye protection,
respiratory protection, protective gloves and protective clothing.
Solder can contain lead. Do not eat, drink or smoke while
soldering. Always wash your hands thoroughly after finishing
work.
Always disconnect the appliance from the mains after finishing
work!
Do not cool the soldering iron by rinsing it with water!

Scope of use
The soldering iron is designed for soft soldering of electrical wires and circuit boards as well
as use as a woodburning pen.
The soldering iron set may be used for only in accordance with its intended purpose. Any
other use is forbidden.

Assembling the soldering stand (fig. A/B)
Cleaning sponge and adjustable workpiece holders
3. Before use
• Fit the soldering iron holder (15) to the soldering stand (1).
• After sliding the soldering iron holder (15) as far as it will go into the hole (1), turn it
clockwise to fix it in place.
• For convenience the cleaning sponge (2) can be placed in the space provided on the
soldering stand (1). Moisten the soldering sponge (2) slightly before use.
• The soldering stand (1) is equipped with two adjustable workpiece holding clamps (3),
which are handy when working an wires and similar workpieces.
Accessory compartment
• The soldering stand is fitted with a useful accessory compartment for instance for storage
of the soldering tips.
Fitting and replacing tips (fig. C)
deCAUTION - DANGER OF BURNS!
Always allow the soldering iron to cool down completely before
changing the tip!
Select a suitable tip for your application.
• The pointed soldering tip is particularly suitable for point soldering and thin cables.
• The flat soldering tip is particularly suitable for light electrical work.
• The woodburning tips are suitable for a wide range of woodburning jobs.
The tip holder (8) and the tips (9-14) are threaded. This ensures quick and easy fitting and
replacement of the tips.
• Screw the required tip (9-14) firmly into the tip holder.

08
Switching on and off
• Connect the soldering iron to the mains to switch it on and to heat it up.
• Disconnect the soldering iron from the mains to switch it off and to cool it down.
4. Using the soldering iron
deCAUTION DANGER OF BURNS!
The soldering iron, the soldering tip and the soldering iron holder
remain hot for some time after disconnection from the mains!
Working with the device (fig. D / E)
• Connect the mains cable (6) with a suitable mains supply and store the soldering iron with
the tip in the tool holder (15) of the tool stand (1). Allow the soldering iron to heat up. This
can take approximately 3 to 5 minutes depending on the required working temperature.
• Before soldering the soldering tip has to be tinned. Heat up a new or a soldering tip that
has been cleaned with the cleaning sponge (2) and coat it by making contact with the
solder wire.
• Before starting work on the a particular workpiece and/or type of material, check for
suitability by testing the soldering iron on a similar piece of (scrap) material.
• Clean the parts you wish to join before starting to solder.
- Touch the edge of the flux-cored solder wire on to the very end of the soldering tip (6) to
melt the solder wire. The workpiece is coated with the flux, which flows out of the solder
wire, allowing the solder to join the metal.
• If the soldering iron is used for longer periods we recommend that you clean the tip
occasionally with the cleaning sponge (2) and re-tin the tip if necessary. Use a de-
soldering braid (not supplied) to clean the joint, to de-solder and to remove excess
solder from the joint. Cover the excess solder with the de-soldering braid and heat up the
soldering tip (9). The melting solder is soaked up by the de-soldering braid.

09
Woodburning pen
• Firstly, make a sketch of the desired pattern on your workpiece with a pencil or
alternatively apply a ready-made template to the workpiece.
• Types of wood with smooth surfaces are particularly suitable for marking.
• When marking wood with a rough surface, be aware that it can be difficult to guide the tip
along the line required. In this case the surface should be sanded first.
• A wide variety of patterns can be created with the marking tips and stamps supplied.
• A sooty deposit can build up on the tip or the stamp during use. Use fine sandpaper to
remove the deposits and to keep the tips clean. A clean tip is essential for precise and
accurate work.
• If the soldering iron set is not to be used keep it at a safe, cool, dry and well-ventilated
place out of the reach of children.
• Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.
Storage conditions
deCAUTION - DANGER OF BURNS! Allow the
soldering iron to cool completely before cleaning. To avoid
damage, do not use aggressive cleaning material, metal brushes
or sharp objects such as knives, etc.
• Clean the device with a soft, slightly damp cloth if required. Ensure that no moisture enters
the device.
• Clean the soldering tips with the help of the cleaning sponge included in the contents.
