Safety

  It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric shock, injury, fire or explosion.

– Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause a fire.

– The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Be sure that it is properly grounded before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.

– Do not work on electrically live parts.

– The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode. The soldering tip or nozzle, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot even when the station is turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the stand position.

– Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.

– Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflammable products to ignite.

– Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.

– Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.

– Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when working to avoid personal harm.

– Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.

– This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight and also persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience provided that they have been given adequate supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved.
