1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS.
USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY, AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices.
A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected
by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances
and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2.
and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is
damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a)Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b)Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d)After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly
connected, that the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the
restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket
with your electrician.
1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use
of 2.5mm² section cable.

Wear appropriate protective clothing.
Remove ill fitting clothing, ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
Ensure the workpiece is adequately held before operating the soldering iron.
Always use the stand provided for the soldering iron, so that the tip cannot make contact with the work surface.
Ensure that when the soldering iron is put down during use, that the tip is not near to, or in contact with any material that may burn or melt,
including the products own supply lead.
Remove excess solder from the soldering iron by wiping the tip on a damp sponge.
 DO NOT attempt to remove excess solder from the soldering iron by shaking it, as hot solder may become airborne and land on skin
causing burns and blisters.
 DO NOT allow children or pets into the area where the soldering is taking place.
 DO NOT attempt to cool the soldering iron with water.
WARNING! Disconnect the soldering iron from the mains supply and allow it to cool before changing tips.
 DO NOT operate the soldering iron when you are tired, under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.

3. OPERATION
3.1. The soldering iron is primarily intended for the soldering of electrical joints such as the attachment of components to printed
circuit boards and the connection of leads to plugs and sockets used in electronics. (Where delicate electronic components are
concerned that may be damaged by excessive heat, the wire being soldered should be held with a pair of thin nosed pliers on the
opposite side of the board so that some of the heat generated by the soldering process is transferred to the pliers.)
3.2. Before using the soldering iron, set up the metal stand provided by bending the centre section upwards so that it is at an angle of
nearly 90° to the rest of the stand (fig.1). Rest the soldering iron on the stand. Plug the iron into the mains supply and slide the switch
to either position 'I' or 'II', for the desired wattage setting. Leave the iron on the stand, for it to heat up.
3.3. When the iron is up to temperature, “tin” the tip by melting a thin layer of solder over the end of it. If any difficulty is experienced in
getting the solder to take to the tip, use a proprietary tip cleaner/tinning product.
3.4. The items to be soldered must be perfectly clean and free from grease. Ideally, the two items to be joined (such as the end of a wire
and a switch terminal) should be individually tinned before being brought together to ensure a good joint.
3.5. Ensure that the items to be soldered are accessible and are securely held together.
3.6. Bring the tip of the soldering iron and the solder to the joint simultaneously. Leave the iron on the joint just long enough to melt
the solder so that it flows onto the two parts to be joined. Replace the soldering iron on the stand. Leave the joint to cool. When
finished working, slide the switch to the '0' position and unplug the iron from its supply. Allow it to fully cool before storing it away.
3.7. Do not allow solder to accumulate where the tip enters the iron as this may make the tip difficult to remove. Do not get
solder deposits on the tip retaining screw as it may prevent a screwdriver fitting into the cross head. Periodically loosen the tip
retaining screw and rotate the tip in the iron to prevent it seizing into the body. Use a proprietary tip cleaner/tinner to keep the tip clean
and correctly tinned.

environmentally protective way.
3.8. When the soldering iron is not in use but still hot, ensure that when it is put down, the tip is not touching, or close to, any material that
will melt or is inflammable.
3.9. After a prolonged period of service the tip may become pitted and need replacing. Disconnect the soldering iron from the mains
supply and wait until the iron has completely cooled down. Loosen the tip retaining nut and pull out the old tip with a pair of pliers. (If
the old tip is difficult to remove, grip it with a pair of pliers and pull it out. Do not use pliers to insert the new tip as the plating may be
damaged.) Insert the new tip and twist it into the orientation you require. Lock the tip in place by tightening the retaining screw (fig.2).
