Safety instructions

Follow the safety instructions contained in this manual. Failure to follow the safety warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, burns, fire or toxic fumes.

  • This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the tool. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
  • To prevent the risk of injury, damaged mains cables should only be replaced by the manufacturer, by customer service or by a similarly qualified person.
  • Allow the soldering iron to cool down completely after use before you put it away.

WARNING

The soldering iron has to be placed in the stand when not in use.

  • Do not use the soldering iron if the handle, the mains cable, or the mains plug are damaged. Never open the device!
  • Do not expose the soldering iron to moisture or rain.
  • We recommend that you work in the vicinity of the main socket so that you can quickly pull the plug from the socket in the event of an emergency.
  • Before heating, check if the solder tip is seated properly and tighten the screws if necessary.
  • Never heat up the soldering iron without a soldering tip fitted.
  • The soldering tip may only be removed or changed when it is cold and when the soldering iron is off.
  • Avoid contact between the hot parts of the soldering iron and the heat-sensitive objects in the surroundings.
  • Do not touch the hot soldering iron tip, melted solder, or hot components while soldering: risk of burns! The soldering stand can become hot when the soldering iron is placed on it. The danger of burns!
  • Only use the device in well-ventilated rooms. Toxic fumes can be produced when soldering, which can lead to damage to the mucous membranes and/ or chronic respiratory illness. Additionally, we recommend that you wear eye protection, respiratory protection, protective gloves, and protective clothing.
  • Solder can contain lead. The supplied soldering tin is lead-free but contains rosin as a flux and may cause allergic reactions. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while soldering. Always wash your hands thoroughly after finishing work.
  • Always disconnect the appliance from the mains after finishing work!
  • Do not cool the soldering iron by rinsing it with water!

Intended Use

The soldering iron is intended exclusively for private use in the hobby and do-it-yourself sector for the following purposes:

  • For soft soldering, e.g. on electrical connections or wires.
  • To join metallic materials using a molten solder, for example in model building.
  • Almost all metals and metal alloys, such as brass, copper or iron, can be soldered.
  • All other applications are expressly ruled out and are considered as unintended use. The manufacturer or dealer shall not accept any liability for injuries, loss or damage caused by misuse or improper use.

Before use

Preparing the stand

  • Bend the inner part of the stand upwards as shown.
  • Check whether the soldering iron is stable when placed. Change the slope of the stand if necessary.

CAUTION

Perform the above test only after switching off the soldering iron and it has cooled down. Replacing the soldering tip Spare soldering tips can be purchased from the manufacturer. If the solder tip needs to be replaced, proceed as follows:

  • Loosen the two screws by about half to one turn using a Phillips screwdriver.
  • Pull the soldering tip out of the tip holder.
  • Insert the new soldering tip into the tip holder.
  • Then tighten the screws again.

CAUTION

Disconnect the soldering iron from the mains before replacing the tip and let it cool down completely!

Use

Switching on and off

  • Insert the mains plug into the socket to switch on the soldering iron.
  • Disconnect the mains plug to switch off the soldering iron.

CAUTION

  • The soldering iron, the soldering tip, and the stand continue to be hot for some time after disconnection from the mains!

Soldering

  • Check if the soldering tip is seated properly. If necessary, retighten the two screws.
  • Connect the mains cable to a suitable mains socket and place the soldering iron on the stand. Allow the soldering iron to heat up for about 2.5 – 3 minutes.The correct working temperature is reached when the soldering tin begins to melt as soon as it comes into contact with the soldering tip. The soldering iron reaches the maximum temperature after about eight minutes.
  • Before soldering the soldering tip has to be tinned. Heat up the new soldering tip or cleaned tip and wet it with the soldering tin.
  • Before starting work on the a particular workpiece and/or type of material, check for suitability by testing the soldering iron on a similar piece of (scrap ) material.
  • Clean the parts to be joined before soldering.
  • If possible, mechanically connect the parts to be soldered together, for e.g. by twisting wires together.
  • Heat the contact surface of the parts to be soldered with the soldering iron and touch the soldering tin to the outermost end of the soldering tip. The soldering tin melts and can join the metal.
  • If the soldering iron is used for longer periods we advise to you clean the tip occasionally and re-tin the tip if necessary.
  • You can use a de-soldering braid (not supplied) to clean the joint, to de-solder and to remove excess solder from the joint. Cover the excess solder with the de-soldering braid and heat up the soldering tip. The melting solder is soaked up by the de-soldering braid.

Maintenance & cleaning  storage and transport

WARNING

The soldering iron, the soldering tip, and the stand continue to be hot for some time after disconnection from the mains!

Maintenance

The soldering iron is virtually maintenance-free. However, the tip wears out after some time and needs to be replaced, as described in the chapter

“Replacing the soldering tip”.  Only use spare parts/accessories from the manufacturer. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified technicians or by an authorized service center. Qualified technicians must have relevant training and experience, be familiar with the design and construction requirements of the soldering iron, and understand and follow the safety regulations.

Cleaning

  • Clean the device with a soft, slightly damp cloth if required. Ensure that no moisture enters the device.
  • Clean the soldering tips after each use.

CAUTION

  • Allow the soldering iron to cool down completely before cleaning.
  • To avoid damage, do not use aggressive cleaning agents, metal brushes and sharp objects such as knives, etc.
  • Make sure that liquids do not get inside the soldering iron.

Storage

  • Clean the soldering iron before storage.
  • Keep the soldering iron and accessories after they cool down in a safe, cool, dry, and well-ventilated place in its original packaging, out of the reach of children when it is not being used.

Transport

  • Use the original packaging and secure the soldering iron in place during transport.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Solution
The soldering iron does not heat up. No power supply. Check that the mains

supply (socket) functions correctly. Ask a qualified person for advice if necessary.
The main cable or plug is defective.| Get the mains cable replaced by the manufacturer or the manufacturer’s representative.
The temperature of the soldering tip is too low.| The soldering tip is loose.| Disconnect the mains plug from the socket. Allow the device to cool down. Fix the soldering tip by tightening the two screws.
The soldering iron has not yet reached the operating

temperature.

| Allow the soldering iron to heat up for some more

time.

The solder does not run smoothly on the soldering

iron.

| The soldering tip is not hot enough.| Wait until the soldering iron is hot enough.
Allow the soldering iron to cool down completely and check if the tip is loose.
