• After use put the appliance down according to the picture IV and let
it cool down. Only after that you can store it away.

• When the appliance is not in use, store it in a safe place protected
from dust and moisture.

• When storing the appliance, put the protective cap 1 onto the cooled
down tip 2, so that the protective cap 1 protects the switch ON/OFF
6 in position “OFF”.

• Check the appliance for damage. Do not use if damaged!

• During use, ensure adequate ventilation. Ensure that no poisonous
vapours or gases can be inhaled. Wear protective clothing (e.g. long
sleeved clothing).

• Please remove the batteries from the battery operated soldering iron,
if it is not going to be used for a longer period of time (the batteries
can leak after some time and the battery operated soldering iron will
be damaged).

• Observe national and international safety, health and work protection
regulations.

Important information before putting
the device into operation:

• Before putting the appliance into operation read the operating in­structions!

• In order to achieve best working results use alkaline batteries. To use
the battery operated soldering iron you will need 3 batteries á 1,5 V
(type AA).

• Replace the batteries only in a dry work environment. Moisture has
a negative influence on the durability of the batteries.

Putting the device into operation:

• Slide open the battery cover 4 (see picture I).

• Place 3 batteries á 1,5 V (type AA) 5 as shown above inside and re­place the battery cover 4.

• Remove the protective cap 1 from the soldering tip 2.

• Make sure the soldering tip 2 is firmly fitted.

• Slide the ON/OFF switch 6 to the position “ON”.

• Hold the battery operated soldering iron 3 like a pen (see picture II).

• Press now the round contact button 7 on the top of the ON/OFF
switch 6 and hold it pressed continuously for approximately 15 sec­onds (the current flows when the “ON/OFF switch” is in position “ON”
and the contact button is pressed at the same time - see picture II).

• After this time the soldering tip 2 has reached the working temper­ature and you can start working.

• In order to save power, only press the contact button 7 when you
are actually soldering.

• When you hold the contact button 7 pressed the function control lamp
8 is on.

• If the battery operated soldering iron is not in use, put it down only
in a vertical position with the soldering tip 2 pointing up (see picture
IV) and let it cool down completely.

Shutting down:

• After use put the ON/OFF switch 6 into position “OFF”.

• Put the battery operated soldering iron down according to picture IV
and let the soldering tip 2 cool down.

• To cool down always put the battery operated soldering iron onto a
firm, flat and heat resistant surface.

• The soldering tip 2 cools down from 480°C to about 25° within ap­proximately 10 minutes. (The ambient temperature also has an im­portant influence on the cooling down time.)

• Afterwards put the protective cap 1 onto the cooled down soldering
tip 2. The protective cap 1 protects the ON/OFF switch 6 in posi­tion “OFF”.

Repairs, maintenance and cleaning:

• Never mix old and new batteries at the same time. This would lead
to a quicker discharge of the batteries.

• Please remove the batteries from the battery operated soldering iron,
if it is not going to be used for a longer period of time. The batteries
can leak after some time and the battery operated soldering iron will
be damaged.

• If it takes longer than 30 seconds to reach the working temperature,
replace the batteries.

• In order to achieve best working results use alkaline batteries.

• Dispose of used batteries accordingly, not in the household waste.

• With 3 new batteries you can use the battery operated soldering iron
for approximately 60 minutes without an interruption.

• The soldering tip is an iron-plated long-life tip. Therefore please do
not file the tip.

• Only clean the appliance with a dry cloth or a cleaning abrasive mat
(e.g. CFH No. 52349) when it has cooled down (see picture III). A
cleaning abrasive mat is available in many building stores and can
be obtained there.

• If the appliance is damaged, or if it must be sent to the distribu­tor/producer or for a repair, please get in touch with the shop, in which
you have purchased it or with the distributor/producer.
