Brief instructions 6. Error diagnosis and remedy 6.1 General Errors If the soldering station does not operate as expected, check the following items: 6.2 • Is main voltage present? Correctly connect the mains lead to the device and socket. • Is the fuse defect? The fuse can be found at the rear side of the device in the mains connecting socket. • Note that a defective fuse may also indicate a deeper cause of error. Simply changing the fuse therefore generally does not suffice.
