1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and all
electrical connections for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical
products. You may obtain an RCD by contacting your local Sealey dealer.
If the soldering iron is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable
Appliance Test) tested.
Electrical safety information, it is important that the following information is read and understood.
1.1.1. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.
1.1.2. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.
Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is tted with the correct
fuse - see fuse rating in these instructions.
8DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable. Remove the plug from the socket by maintaining a rm grip on the plug.
8DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or replaced immediately by a
qualied electrician.
1.1.3. This product is tted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.
If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and remove from use.
Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualied electrician.
Class II products are wired with live (brown) and neutral (blue) only are marked with the Class II symbol;
A) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
B) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
C) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires and ensure that all wires have been
correctly connected.
Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
8DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this
equipment.
9Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards of the soldering iron.
9Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9Locate in a suitable work area, keep the work area clean and tidy, and free from unrelated materials. Ensure there is adequate lighting.
9Keep the soldering iron clean for best and safest performance.
9Ensure there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.
9 Wear approved safety eye protection (standard spectacles are not adequate).
9 Wear appropriate protective clothing.
9 Remove ill tting clothing, ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
9Ensure the work piece is adequately held before operating the soldering iron.
9Always use the stand provided for the soldering iron, so that the tip cannot make contact with the work surface.
9Ensure 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,
9including the products own supply lead.
9Remove excess solder from the soldering iron by wiping the tip on a damp sponge.
8DO 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.
8DO NOT allow children or pets into the area where the soldering is taking place.
8DO 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.
8DO NOT operate the soldering iron when you are tired, under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.

8DO NOT leave a hot soldering iron unattended.- If leaving the work area, even for a short period of time, switch it off and allow to cool.
8DO NOT use the soldering iron for any purpose other than that for which they have been designed.
8DO NOT touch the work piece immediately after working on it, as it will be very hot. Allow it to cool.
8DO NOT allow untrained persons or children to operate the soldering iron.
8DO NOT operate the soldering iron if damaged.
8DO NOT hold the work piece by hand.
9 When finished working, store the soldering iron in a safe, dry, childproof location.

4. OPERATION
4.1. 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.)
4.2. 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.
4.3. 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.
4.4. 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.
4.5. Ensure that the items to be soldered are accessible and are securely held together.
4.6. 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.
4.7. DO NOT allow solder to accumulate where the tip enters the iron as this may make the tip difficult to remove.
4.8. 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.
4.9. 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.
Insert the new tip and twist it into the orientation you require. Lock the tip in place by tightening the retaining screw (fig.2).
4.10. Sealey Part No’s for Replacement tips: Model No. SD1530 - SD1530/T, Model No. SD4080 - SD4080/T.
