Adult supervision during
assembly and soldering!
General: This soldering kit is intended as a simple introduction to the basics of soldering.
It is ideal for guided soldering courses in school and workshops. The water tube torch can further be used in holiday programmes,
school camps and other events related to soldering.
After soldering and installing the board inside the water tube it can be used as a solar-powered torch for near range applications.
The solar panel collects the required energy, which is then stored in the storage battery. So simply place in the sun to charge the
storage battery.
Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference! They contain important information.
If the storage battery is defective, only replace it with a new storage battery with the same specifications. (400 mAh / 3.2 V)
This kit is only intended for battery operation.
The soldering iron, the solder and the components being soldered become very hot during soldering. Be very careful!
Always use a soldering base when soldering! This will prevent the components and the board from slipping.
We recommend a soldering iron stand to hold the soldering iron safely during assembly.
Never connect the kit to 230 V mains voltage! Acute danger to life!

Less is more! – this frequently also applies to gluing. The kit includes a paper clip to ensure you do
not apply too much glue. Simply bend it open. It helps with dispensing the glue. Squeeze a few
drops of glue from the tube onto a suitable surface (e.g. paper, scrap piece of wood from the kit)
and dip in the tip of the paper clip.
You can now use the glue on the paper clip to apply the dots of glue. If glue dries on the paper clip,
simply remove the glue with a tissue and add more to the tip.

If necessary, use a larger soldering tip!
