- When not soldering and after finishing your work, make sure there is no flammable material near the hot soldering tool.
- Be careful not to touch the soldering tip when using the gun and afterward; only hold the gun by its handle.
- If possible, do not hold the soldered part with your hands; place it in clamps or on a stand instead.
- Keep in mind that overheating can also damage the parts or connectors you are soldering.
- Only work in a room with good ventilation, and do not inhale the poisonous smoke emitted during soldering.
- Do not leave the warm soldering gun unattended after using it.
- Do not remove the soldering tip while still hot as this can decrease the stub’s lifetime.
- Always let the gun cool off by itself.
- The power cord must not touch the gun’s hot metal parts.
- Always unplug the tool before doing any maintenance (replacing the soldering tip or cleaning it), and after finishing your work.
- Protect the gun from direct heat, water, humidity, and dust.
- For indoor use only under dry circumstances.
- If the power cord or the cover is damaged, unplug the gun immediately, and consult a technician.

OPERATION
- The surface to be soldered needs to be cleaned thoroughly.
- After 3-4 minutes of heating, dip the soldering tip into the soldering tin. The soldering iron is now ready for use.
- Only use as much soldering tin as necessary.
- During soldering always place the hot device on the included stand.
- The worn-out tip can be exchanged by loosening the screw at its base. When using for the first time, immerse the solder tip in solder resin and coat it with tin. This significantly increases the life of the soldering tip. During proper usage, the burning of the soldering tip is natural wear and tear consequence, and as such should be replaced regularly.
