The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage
resulting from misuse of the machine or
unauthorised alterations.
Safety Instructions
Caution! Risk of injury through burning.
Even after switching off, or removal, the soldering
tip / hot bar still requires a time to cool down. After
soldering, the soldered part and workpiece carrier
are still hot.
Take account of environmental inuences.
Do not use the soldering tool in a damp or
wet environment.
Do not use or place the soldering station in the
proximity of any easily ammable, ignitable or
combustible substances or gases.
Protect yourself against electric shocks.
Avoid touching earthed objects such as pipes,
heaters, cookers and refrigerators. Use a residual
current device (RCD) for additional protection.
Children and other unauthorised persons
must stay clear of the work area.
Never allow other persons to touch the soldering
tool or cable. Keep other persons away from your
workplace. The soldering tool must be used by
qualied staff only and those specically assigned
this task.

Secure the soldering tool.
Use clamping devices to hold the workpiece rmly
in position. This is a safer way to hold the workpiece
than in your hands, and also leaves both hands free
to operate the soldering tool.
Avoid unintentional starting.
When plugging into the socket, ensure that it is
switched off at the mains. Never carry a soldering
tool connected to the mains power supply.
Maintenance and Handling
Regularly inspect the station for physical damage
that may affect safety.
Do not use the station if it:
is visibly damaged-
has ceased to function-
has been stored for a long period under -
unfavourable conditions; has been subject to
heavy stresses during transportation
If suspected to be unsafe for use, the
station must immediately be switched off
and the mains plug must be disconnected
from the supply.
Before switching on, allow the station to attain
ambient room temperature.
When in use, always ensure the station is ●
sufficiently ventilated.
Place the station on a flame-resistant base-pad in ●
such a way that air can circulate freely.
The station must not be exposed to water, dust or ●
direct sunlight.
Avoid subjecting the apparatus to heavy ●
mechanical stress.
The iron attains working temperatures between ●
150°C - 450°C. Contact with any of its metallic parts
may cause serious burns to people or animals.
Before carrying out cleaning or
maintenance on the station, observe
the following Safety Instructions:
This product contains no user
serviceable parts.
Repair must only be carried out by a specialist ●
aware of the associated risks.
Always disconnect from the mains before opening ●
covers or withdrawing parts.
Even after the device has been disconnected ●
from all voltage sources, it is possible that internal
capacitors may still be charged. Unplug the station
and leave for 5 minutes before removing covers.
The DS80 is fitted with a slow-blowing 1 A fuse. ●
This must always be replaced with the same type
and value. Disconnect from the mains supply
before replacing. The fuse-holder is located on the
underside of the station.
Use a dry linen cloth to clean. Moisten very slightly ●
if necessary, ensuring that no moisture penetrates
inside the device. Do not use solvents such as
petrol or kerosene, or abrasive cleaners to clean
the unit.
Disposal
In the event that the DS80 has become
unserviceable it must be disposed of in accordance
with applicable statutory regulations.
Brief Summary of
Instructions for Use
1. Assemble the station and rest, and place the
iron on the rest, then connect the power lead to
the mains.
2. Switch on using “Power” switch.
3. Press “+”/”-“ keys to adjust the set point
temperature or select one of the programmed
temperatures by using the “T1”/”T2”/”T3” keys.
4. Modify a programmed set point temperature by
pressing “+”/”-“ whilst holding the appropriate
“T1”/”T2”/”T3” key.
Instructions for Use
1. Setting up
First set up and connect to a mains socket. Insert the
plug from the soldering iron in the DIN socket located
on the front of the station. The solder sponge must
be laid in the stand and moistened with water.
2. Switching on
Press “Power” to switch on. The processor will
perform a display test by activating all 108 segments
for approximately two seconds. The soldering
iron will then heat up to the set point temperature
when it was last used. The LCD shows the current
temperature in the main display and the “Power”
bar-chart (which can be disabled) indicates the heat
being supplied to the soldering iron; (see Figure 1).
The soldering iron tip is maintained at a constant
temperature when the set point temperature is
reached.
