Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always unplug the stand from the station and the tool.

• Use a damp cloth to clean the stand. Alcohol can be used only when cleaning metal parts.
• Check periodically that the metal parts of the tool/stand are clean so that the station can check the tool’s status.
• Periodically check all cables and tube connections.
• Replace any defective or damaged parts. Use original JBC spare parts only. Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.

Safety

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

• Do not use the stand for any purpose other than soldering or rework.

• 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.

• The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode.
  The soldering tip, 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.

• Avoid the contact of flux 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.
