3. Safe and correct soldering
Caution:
Incorrect soldering can cause dangers through fires and heat. Avoid
these dangers by reading and following the directions given in the
chapter Safety instructions.
 Use a soldering iron with temperature control, which you set to
approx. 300 °C.
 Only use electronic solder with a flux.
 Never use soldering water or soldering grease when soldering
electronic circuits. These contain an acid that destroys components
and conductor paths.
 Insert the connecting wires of the components as far as possible
through the holes of the board without using force. The body of the
component should be close above the board.
 Make sure that the polarity of the components is correct before
soldering them.
 Solder quickly: soldering for too long can cause pads or tracks to
become detached or even destroy components.
 Hold the soldering tip on the soldering point in such a way that it
touches the component wire and the pad at the same time. Add (not
too much) solder simultaneously. As soon as the solder begins to
flow, remove it from the soldering point. Then wait a moment for the
solder to flow well before removing the soldering iron from the
soldering joint.
 Do not move the component you have just soldered for about 5
seconds.
 A clean, non-oxidised (scale-free) soldering tip is essential for a
perfect soldering joint and good soldering. Therefore, before each
