[. . . ] C) Keep children and other people away while you are operating the electrical tool. To avoid danger to life from electric shock: a) The mains plug on the device must match the mains socket. Do not use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a protective earth. D) Do not use the mains lead for any purpose for which it was not intended, e. [. . . ] Do not let anyone use the device if he or she is not familiar with it or has not read the instructions and advice. Electrical power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people. Check for broken parts or parts that are damaged to the extent they detrimentally affect the functioning of the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical tools. Safety advice / Before first use The use of attachments or accessories other than those recommended here could lead to you suffering an injury. Remove a soldering tip only when the device has been switched off and the soldering tip has cooled. Thinly coat with solder, the soldering tip 7 before using the soldering station for the first time and before using a new soldering tip. To do this follow these steps: Insert the mains plug into a mains socket and press the ON / OFF switch 2 into position "I". Turn the temperature regulator 6 to 2 and allow a little solder to flow and deposit a thin continuous film over the surface of the soldering tip. Using the product Switching on / off and setting the temperature Switching on and setting the temperature: Insert the mains plug into a mains socket and press the ON / OFF switch 2 into position "I". Turn the temperature control 6 to set the temperature you wish to have. Problems will occur during soldering if an unsuitable solder wire used. the right soldering temperature must be achieved to produce perfect soldering. If the temperature is too low the solder does not flow enough and causes contamination of the solder at the joint, a so-called "cold joint". At too high a temperature, the flux (flowing aid) burns and the solder does not flow. 100 °C ­ warming up stage and for solder with a low melting point Setting 2 = 200 °C melting point of most common soft solders Setting 3 = 300 °C normal operating temperature, e. For desoldering large soldered joints Switching off: Note: After use always replace the soldering pencil 1 into the holder. If the device is not being used, pull the mains lead out of the mains socket. The device switches off and the ON / OFF switch 2 light ceases to illuminate. The hot soldering tip 7 must never be placed in contact with a dry solder sponge 5 , otherwise the solder sponge may be damaged. The design of the soldering pencil makes it especially suitable for use where access is difficult or for fine soldering work. After cleaning the tip 7 it must be "tinned" (coated with solder).
