ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency, before operating the tool. Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The tool has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

1. Work area safety.
   a. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
   Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
   c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
   Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
   a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
   Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
   b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
   There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
   Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
   Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety
   a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
   A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
   Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
   Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   g. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4. Power tool use and care
   a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate at which it was designed.
   b. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   c. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   d. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   e. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
   f. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

SETUP & PREPARATION

ASSEMBLY

Setting Up The Stand
The metal stand provides a safe and secure way to rest the tool during and after use while the tip is hot.
WARNING! DO NOT LEAVE THE TOOL PLUGGED IN AND UNATTENDED. ALLOW IT TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE STORAGE.

1. Bend the center part of the stand upwards.
   

2. Rest the metal part of the tool in the channel on the stand when taking a break.
   

Changing Tips

WARNING! ENSURE THE TOOL IS UNPLUGGED AND COMPLETELY COOLED DOWN BEFORE CHANGING THE TIPS.
The pointed soldering tip is great for detailed soldering work such as on circuit boards or general soldering applications.
This can be swapped out with the angled tip for projects with thicker wires or larger surface areas.

1. Use a screwdriver (not supplied) to loosen the clamping screws.

2. Remove the soldering tip.
   

3. Insert the desired soldering tip into the barrel.

4. Tighten the clamping screws to secure the tip in place.

WARNING! ENSURE THE SOLDERING TIP IS SECURE AND THE CLAMPING SCREWS ARE COMPLETELY FASTENED BEFORE USING THE TOOL.

OPERATION

SOLDERING

Soldering

1. Rest the soldering iron on the stand.
   

2. Plug the power cord into a mains socket and allow the tool to heat up.

3. Use the soldering tip to heat the workpiece up.
   

4. Hold the solder wire against the heated workpiece. The workpiece should be sufficiently heated that the solder melts and flows into the join.
   Note: If the solder wire doesn’t melt when touched to the workpiece, then the workpiece has not heated sufficiently. Remove the solder wire and allow the soldering iron to continue heating up the workpiece.

5. Once enough solder has melted into the join, remove the solder wire and then the soldering tip from the workpiece.

6. Allow the solder to cool and solidify.

Usage Tips

1. Ensure the solder used is appropriate for the application.

2. Press the hot soldering tip into a damp sponge occasionally to remove any excess solder that may have accumulated on the tip. Do not hold it there for too long as this can burn the sponge.
   WARNING! DO NOT HOLD THE SPONGE. PLACE THE SPONGE ON THE TABLE AND WIPE THE SOLDERING TIP AGAINST IT.

3. Soldering provides an electrical connection between parts, it does not provide a strong mechanical joint. When soldering wires ensure that they are joined properly by twisting the exposed wires around each other before soldering.

4. Use the soldering iron to heat the workpiece, not the solder wire.
   Pressing the soldering tip against the solder wire will cause the solder to melt onto the tip instead of the workpiece.

5. Do not use more solder than required. Use just enough to make contact between the workpieces.

6. Clean the workpiece with steel wool or fine sandpaper if it is not clean. This provides a better surface for the solder to adhere to and better electrical contact between parts.
