Safety advice
Safety advice
CAUTION! Failure to observe the instructions and ad-
vice 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
socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do
not use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a
protective earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets re-
duce the risk of electric shock.
b) Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Water en-
tering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.
Safety advice

9GB/IE
Safety advice
Safety advice
c) Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if
operating the electrical power tool in a moist environ-
ment 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.
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) This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved. Children
shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user main-
tenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
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,

10 GB/IE
Safety advice
alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness when
using the device can lead to serious injury.
DANGER 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.
After use let the soldering pencil cool down in air only. Under no
circumstances quench the tip in water!
CAUTION! DANGER OF FIRE! Place the soldering pencil down
only in the special multifunctional holder or on a fire-resistant pad.
Place the soldering pencil in the multifunctional holder during
pauses in your work.
Keep the device away from combustible material.
Never 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.
Avoid 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.
If 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.
When 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 ventilation of your working area. In ad-
dition, it is recommended that you wear protective gloves, a face
mask and a protective apron.
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.
Safety advice

11GB/IE
Safety advice
Safety advice
Always wash your hands immediately after soldering.
Do 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.
Q
Original accessories/attachments
Use 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.

Q
Inserting/replacing soldering tips
CAUTION! DANGER OF BURNS! Never allow the soldering pencil
to heat up without a soldering tip.
Remove a soldering tip only when the device has been switched
off and the soldering tip has cooled.
Turn the soldering tip out to replace it.
You must ‘tin’, i.e. thinly coat with solder, the soldering tip 7before
using the soldering station for the first time and before using a new
soldering tip.
To do this follow these steps:
Insert the mains plug into a mains socket and press the ON/OFF
switch 2into position “I”.
Turn the thermostat 6to 3 and wait until the device has heated up.
Then let something solder until a thin cohesive film melts off the sol-
dering tip.

Switching on/off and setting

Switching on and setting the temperature:
Insert the mains plug into a mains socket and press the ON/OFF
switch 2into position “I”.
Using the product

13GB/IE
Before first use/Using the product
Using the product
Turn the temperature control 6to set the temperature you wish
to have.
Problems will occur during soldering if an unsuitable solder wire used.
The right soldering temperature must be achieved to produce perfect
soldering. If the temperature is too low the solder does not flow enough
and causes contamination of the solder at the joint, a so-called “cold
joint”. At too high a temperature, the flux (flowing aid) burns and the
solder does not flow. The high temperatures may also damage the
workpiece.
The temperature settings suitable for most soldering tasks are given
below. The precise settings may vary, depending on the solder and the
manufacturer.
Level min = room temperature
Setting 1 = approx. 100°C – warming up stage and for solder with a
low melting point
Setting 2 = 200°C melting point of most common soft solders
Setting 3 = 300°C normal operating temperature, e.g. for using
lead-free solder
Setting 4 = 400°C high soldering temperature, e.g. for desoldering
small soldered joints
Setting 5 = 500°C maximum soldering temperature, e.g. for desolder-
ing large soldered joints
Switching off:
Note: After use always replace the soldering pencil 1into the holder.
Press the ON/OFF switch 2into setting “0”.
If the device is not being used, pull the mains lead out of the mains
socket.

Q
Solder sponge
CAUTION! The hot soldering tip 7must never be placed in
contact with a dry solder sponge 5, otherwise the solder sponge
may be damaged.
The solder sponge 5is used to clean soldering tips.
Moisten the solder sponge 5before you use it.
Q
Soldering
If inhaled, vapours may cause headaches and fatigue as
well as other symptoms.
— The soldering pencil has a rated output of 48watts and is therefore
ideal for electronics soldering (see Figs. A, B).
— The design of the soldering pencil makes it especially suitable for
use where access is difficult or for fine soldering work.
Clean the soldering tip 7on the moist solder sponge 5.
After cleaning the tip 7it must be “tinned” (coated with solder).
This is done by melting solder on to the hot soldering tip 7.
Guide the soldering tip 7to the intended joint site and heat the joint.
Place the solder (with flux) between the joint site and the tip 7
to melt it.
Continue to feed further solder until the whole joint has a covering
of solder.
Then quickly remove the soldering tip in order to avoid overheating
the molten solder.
Allow the solder to harden while not subjecting it to vibration or
movement.
Note: The flux is either already contained in the solder or applied
separately.
