Safety advice
Safety advice
JCAUTION! Failure to observe the instructions and advice given
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy or
poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
b) Do not work with the device in potentially
explosive environments in which there are
inflammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical
power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other people away
while you are operating the electrical tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of the device.
2. Electrical safety
To avoid danger to life from electric shock:
a)
The mains plug on the device must match the mains sock-
et. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not
use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a protec-
tive earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the
risk of electric shock.
33381_Content_LB6.indd 9 08.06.09 13:08

10 GB/IE/CY
Safety advice
b) Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Water
entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.
c) Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if
operating the electrical power tool in a moist envi-
ronment is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
d) Do not use the mains lead for any purpose for
which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the
device, to hang up the device or to pull the
mains plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains
lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts
of the device. Damaged or tangled mains leads increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) Do not operate the device if the mains lead or mains plug is
damaged.
WARNING! A damaged mains lead presents a serious
danger to life from electric shock.
f) Always keep the mains lead out of the operating area and run it
away from the rear of the device.
g) Always pull out the mains plug if you are about to leave the device
unattended or wish to carry out any tasks on the device.
3. Personal safety
a) Children or persons who lack the knowledge or ex-
perience to use the device or whose physical, sensory
or intellectual capacities are limited must never be
allowed to use the device without supervision or in-
struction by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must never be allowed to play with the device.
33381_Content_LB6.indd 10 08.06.09 13:08

11GB/IE/CY
Safety advice
b) Remain alert at all times, watch what you are doing
and always proceed with caution. Do not use the
device if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness
when using the device can lead to serious injury.
JDANGER OF BURNS! Never touch the hot soldering
tip or the molten solder. You could suffer burn injuries.
Always let the device cool before you replace components
on the device, clean it or check its condition.
JAfter use let the soldering pencil cool down in air only. Under no
circumstances quench the tip in water!
JCAUTION! DANGER OF FIRE! Place the soldering
pencil down only in the special multifunctional holder
or on a fire-resistant pad.
JPlace the soldering pencil in the multifunctional holder during
pauses in your work.
JKeep the device away from combustible material.
JNever leave the device switched on and unattended.
CAUTION! DANGER OF INJURY! Keep your hands away
from the hot workpiece. The heat from soldering can be conducted
through the workpiece. For this reason you should use the third
hand to hold small workpieces.
JAvoid placing the hot soldering tip in contact with the plastic parts
of the multifunctional holder. Failure to observe this advice may
result in damage to the device.
JIf a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug immediately
out of the mains socket.
CAUTION! DANGER OF POISONING! Do not breathe air
contaminated with soldering fumes.
JWhen working with the device for long periods do not
allow the fumes from soldering to build up. They may
be hazardous to health. Always provide adequate
33381_Content_LB6.indd 11 08.06.09 13:08

12 GB/IE/CY
Safety advice
ventilation of your working area. In addition, it is recommended
that you wear protective gloves, a face mask and a protective apron.
J
Do not eat, drink or smoke in rooms where soldering is carried
out. Otherwise your hands may transfer any adhering traces of
lead via food or cigarettes into your body.
JAlways wash your hands immediately after soldering .
JDo not dispose of soldering waste with the household rubbish.
Soldering waste must disposed of as special waste.
4. Careful handling and use of electrical
power tools
a) When not in use always ensure that electrical power
tools are kept out of reach of children. Do not let any-
one use the device if he or she is not familiar with it
or has not read the instructions and advice. Electrical
power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced
people.
b) Look after the device carefully. Check for broken
parts or parts that are damaged to the extent they
detrimentally affect the functioning of the device.
Have any damaged parts repaired before you use
the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly main-
tained electrical tools.

Safety advice/Before first use
Q Original accessories / attachments
JUse only the accessories detailed in the operating instructions. The
use of attachments or accessories other than those recommended
here could lead to you suffering an injury.
QBefore first use
Q Fitting the helical spring
jInsert the narrower end of the helical spring 4into the opening
of the multifunctional holder 7. Ensure that the outwardly bent
end of the helix points upwards and insert it into the recess provid-
ed for it in the multifunctional holder 7(see arrow in Fig. C).
jPush the helical spring 4into the opening as far as it will go.
jTurn the helical spring 4clockwise to fix the multifunctional
holder 7in place.
Q Inserting / replacing soldering tips
CAUTION! DANGER OF BURNS! Allow the soldering
pencil to heat up without a soldering tip.
1. Insert a soldering tip 2into the soldering pencil 1to a depth of
half of its shaft length.
2. Tighten the clamp screw 3using a Phillips screwdriver.
jRemove the soldering tip only when the device has been switched
off and the soldering tip 2has cooled.

Operation
QOperation
The mains voltage must correspond with that shown on the sander rat-
ing plate. Equipment labelled as 230V may also be used with 220V.
Q Switching on and off
Switching on:
jInsert the mains plug into a suitable mains socket.
Switching off:
jPull the plug out of the mains socket to switch off the device.
Q Third hand
CAUTION! DANGER OF BURNS! The clips 5on the
third hand 6can become hot while you are soldering the
workpiece.
1. Fold out the third hand 6upwards.
2. Rotate the clips 5until they are oriented in the required direction.
3. Clamp the workpiece between the two clips 5.
Q Solder sponge
CAUTION! The hot soldering tip 2must never be placed in
contact with a dry solder sponge 8, otherwise the solder sponge
may be damaged.
jThe solder sponge 8is used to clean soldering tips.
jMoisten the solder sponge 8before you use it.

Operation/Maintenance and cleaning
Q Soldering
— The soldering pencil has a rated output of 30watts and is there-
fore ideal for electronics soldering.
— The design of the soldering pencil makes it especially suitable for
use where access is difficult or for fine soldering work.
— To achieve the best results use electronics solder 1.0 (10 g elec-
tronics solder with integrated flux is included) or 1.5mm diameter
60% Sn. We recommend the use of soldering paste (not soldering
grease or soldering fluid) as a flux.
jClean the soldering tip 2on the moist solder sponge 8.
jAfter cleaning the tip 2it must be “tinned” (coated with solder).
This is done by melting solder on to the hot soldering tip 2.
jGuide the soldering tip 2to the intended joint site and heat the joint.
jPlace the solder (with flux) between the joint site and the tip 2
to melt it.
jContinue to feed further solder until the whole joint has a covering
of solder.
jThen quickly remove the soldering tip in order to avoid overheating
the molten solder.
jAllow the solder to harden while not subjecting it to vibration or
movement.
jNote: The flux is either already contained in the solder or applied
separately. Ask the advice of the retailer when buying solder in or-
der to choose the most suitable solder for your intended purpose.
QMaintenance and cleaning
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY! Before you carry out any work
on the device always pull the mains plug out of the mains socket and
allow the device to cool.
