| Read and understand this manual and all safety signs before using this appliance.
| Indoor use only. Keep this device away from rain, moisture, splashing and dripping liquids. Never put objects filled with liquids on top of or close to the device.
****| Always disconnect mains power when the device is not in use or when servicing or maintenance activities are performed. Handle the power cord by the plug only.

Caution! After switching off, leave the power cord plugged in for a few minutes. When you switch off the unit, the automatic cooling function blows cooling air through the heater pipe for a short period. This protects the heater from damage and extends its lifetime. Do not disconnect the mains plug during this cooling process.

****| Do not crimp the power cord and protect it against damage.

Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid any hazard.

Make sure that the available voltage does not exceed the voltage stated in the specifications of this manual.

Plug the power cord into a suitable, earthed mains outlet. Risk of electroshock when opening the cover. Touching live wires can cause life- threatening electroshocks. Do not

disassemble or open the housing yourself. Have the device

repaired by qualified personnel.

Do not operate the device with wet hands.

****| Never use the device on live electronic circuits. Make sure power to the work piece is cut and capacitors are discharged.
| Do not use near inflammable products or in explosive atmospheres. Heat can cause fire to inflammable products even when they are not in sight. Only use in properly ventilated rooms.
| Incorrect use may cause fire.

Do not touch the shafts, tips, or hot air gun as this can cause serious burns. Keep the tips and hot air away from the body, clothes, or other flammable material. Do not aim the hot air gun at the eyes. Use gloves and/or heat- resistant tools to pick up the PCB assembly to prevent burns. Always return the irons and gun to their stands between uses; always let the device cool down after use and before storage.

Place the device on a level, stable, and fire resistant working surface.

| WARNING! – This tool must be placed on its stand when not in use; do not leave the tool unattended when switched on.
| Do not inhale solder fumes. The vapours that are released during soldering are harmful. Therefore, you shall only use the soldering station in well-ventilated areas or under an exhaust hood (solder fume extractor). Dispose of fume filters and solder residue in accordance with local regulations.

Use the soldering iron on a heatproof workbench.
Place the soldering iron in its holder after use.
Let a hot soldering iron cool down naturally and do not immerse in water.

General Guidelines

Refer to the Velleman® Service and Quality Warranty on the last pages of this manual.

If you are desoldering a printed circuit board: place the board on a flat, dry surface with the component side face-up. Make sure the board lies perfectly flat. The heat gun can also melt solder on nearby components you were not planning to remove. If the board is not perfectly flat, these components can get dislodged from their positions as their solder softens.
Do not keep the heat gun on and pointed at the components for more than one minute at a time, as the heat may damage the board and components.

Operation

Plug the power cord into a power source.
Allow the nozzle to warm up for approx. 5 min.
Press the plunger [1] until you hear a clicking sound.
Place the tip of the nozzle against the solder you wish to remove.
When the solder melts, press the button [2] on the handle and the solder will be absorbed.

Cleaning and nozzle replacement

Turn off the power and wait until the unit has completely cooled before removing the solder waste or replacing the nozzle.
To clean the unit, push [1] the plunger slightly in the direction of the button and remove it from the grip [2].
Remove the solder waste around the tip and inside the plunger.
To replace the nozzle, turn it anticlockwise with a pair of pliers and remove from the handle.
