• The soldering station must not get moist or wet. If you use a moist
sponge to wipe off the soldering tip, it must only be inserted into the
corresponding opening of the soldering gun system.
•
Never use the soldering gun to heat liquids.
• Never perform soldering work on live components or elements. Switch
off the voltages fi rst.
Caution! Touching or soldering capacitors (or similar components) or
connected lines/conductors may cause potentially fatal electric shock!
Capacitors may be charged even hours after the operating voltage was
switched off!
• Depending on workpiece or soldering process, the workpiece must be
fastened with suitable clamps. This will leave both of your hands free
for soldering.
• Keep your workplace clean.
• Work only with the workplace suffi ciently illuminated.
• Ensure suffi cient ventilation while soldering. Solder and fl ux agent va-
pours may be harmful to health.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after working with solder. This is particu-
larly important when using lead-containing solder.
Do not put solder into your mouth, do not eat or drink while soldering.
• Wear suitable protective clothing and goggles when soldering. Liquid
solder, solder splashes, etc. may cause severe burns or eye injury!
• Never use soldering grease, acids or similar aids when soldering. They
cause a bad soldering point and may damage the soldering tip. Prefer-
ably use a soldering wire with fl ux agent core (core solder).
