Read the owner's operation manual carefully. Learn its
applications and limitations as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this desoldering gun.
2. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Don't use desoldering gun in damp or wet locations or expose
it to rain, including outside. Never use it in an explosive
atmosphere. Normal sparking of the motor and heat from
heater could ignite fumes. Keep the work area well lit.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY FROM THE
DESOLDERING GUN.
Do not let bystanders contact the desoldering gun. All
bystanders should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
4. PROPERLY STORE THE DESOLDERING GUN WHEN NOT IN USE.
When not in use, the desoldering gun should be stored in a
dry and high or locked-up place in the carrying case provided.
Keep out of reach of children.
5. USE FOR THE RIGHT JOB.
Your desoldering gun is an electrical tool used to remove
solder in order to free components from printed circuit boards.
Do not use the desoldering gun for any purpose not intended.
For example: the desoldering gun should never be used to
vacuum up water or similar liquids.
6. WEAR PROPER APPAREL AND SAFETY GLASSES.
Do not wear loose clothing such as a necktie. Tie up long hair.
Clothing or hair can burn by contacting the nozzle tip and other
heated parts of the desoldering gun.
7. CONNECT TO A CORRECT AC POWER SUPPLY.
(The Input Voltage is listed on the Name label of your
desoldering gun.)
Your desoldering gun has a precision built electric motor. Do
not operate this desoldering gun on direct current (DC).
8. DON'T ABUSE THE POWER CORD AND
INSPECT IT PERIODICALLY.
Never carry your desoldering gun by its power cord or yank
the power cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the
power cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Never use the desoldering gun if the power cord is damaged
as this may result in fire or electric shock.
9 USE A SUITABLE STAND.
Your desoldering gun is designed so that the nozzle tip does
not contact the surface if you lay it on a flat workbench. If a
stand is necessary, be sure to use a general soldering iron
stand that provides goot ventilation. Using a poorly ventilated
stand will melt the plastic parts of your desoldering gun. We
recommend goot MODEL : ST-76
10. TURN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SCREW WITH CARE.
Do not turn the temperature control screw past the 250˚C
(482˚F) and 450˚C (842˚F) temperature settings when setting
the nozzle tip temperature. This could result in the temperature
control screw breaking.
11. CONCERNING THE NOZZLE TIP.
Do not use your desoldering gun without the nozzle tip or the
heating element and temperature sensor will be damaged.
After unplugging, cool the nozzle in natural air. Never use any
other method to cool it down. For example: water should never
be poured or sprinkled on the nozzle to cool it down.
