are damaged. Never open the soldering iron's housing!

- Do not expose the soldering iron to moisture or rain.

- We recommend that you work in the vicinity of the mains socket
so that you can quickly pull the plug from the socket in the event
of an emergency.

- Never heat up the soldering iron without a soldering tip fitted.

Make sure that the tip is correctly fitted before heating the
soldering iron. The tip must be screwed in as far as it will go and
tightened by hand.

soldering iron is off. Screw the new soldering tip into the soldering
iron as far as it will go and tighten it by hand. Do not use
unnecessary force.

- This appliance may be used by children aged from 8 years
and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards

Scope of use

The soldering iron is designed for soldering of electrical wires and circuit boards as well as
use as a wood burning pen.

The soldering iron set may be used for its intended purpose. Any other use is forbidden. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by use the soldering
iron for other than its intended purpose.

Only accessories that are suitable for the soldering iron may be used. Non-observance of

3. Before using the tool

Assembling the soldering stand (fig. A/B)

• Fit the soldering iron holder (15) to the soldering stand (1) before you use the soldering

iron for the first time. Start by inserting the soldering iron holder's (15) locating pin into the
the slot provided in the stand's housing.

• After sliding the soldering iron holder (15) as far as it will go into the slot (1), turn it

clockwise to fix it in place.

Cleaning sponge and adjustable workpiece holders

• For convenience the cleaning sponge (2) can be placed in the space provided on the

soldering stand (1). Moisten the soldering sponge (2) slightly before use.

• The soldering stand (1) is equipped with two adjustable workpiece holding clamps (3),

which are useful when working an wires and similar workpieces.

Fitting and replacing soldering and burning tips (fig. C)

de

CAUTION - DANGER OF BURNS! Ensure that the

soldering iron is disconnected from the mains and allow it to cool
down completely before changing the tip.

Select a suitable tip for your application.

• The pointed soldering tip is particularly suitable for point soldering and thin cables.

• The flat soldering tip is particularly suitable for light electrical work.

• The wood burning tips are suitable for a wide range of wood burning jobs.

The tip holder (8) and the tips (9-14) are threaded. This ensures quick and easy fitting and
replacement of the tips.

• Screw the required tip (9-14) in to the tip holder as far as it will go and tighten it by hand.

10

Accessory compartment

• The soldering stand is fitted with a useful accessory compartment for storage of spare

soldering tips etc.

4. Using the device

Switching on and off

• Connect the soldering iron to the mains to switch it on and to heat it up.

• Disconnect the soldering iron from the mains to switch it off and to cool it down.

de

CAUTION DANGER OF BURNS!

The soldering iron, the soldering tip and the
soldering iron holder remain hot for some time after
disconnection from the mains!

Working with the device (fig. D / E)

• Connect the mains cable (6) with a suitable mains supply and place the soldering iron

with the tip in the tool holder (15). Allow the soldering iron to heat up. This can take
approximately 3 to 5 minutes depending on the required working temperature.

• The correct working temperature is reached when the solder begins to melt as soon as it

comes into contact with the soldering tip.

• Before soldering the soldering tip must be tinned. Heat up the new soldering tip (or first

clean an existing tip with the soldering sponge) and coat it by applying solder wire to the
tip.

• Before starting work on the a particular workpiece and/or type of material, check for

suitability by testing the soldering iron on a similar piece of (scrap) material.

• Clean the parts you wish to join before starting to solder.

• Touch the edge of the flux-cored solder wire on to the very end of the soldering tip (6) to

melt the solder wire. The workpiece is coated with the flux, which flows out of the solder
wire, allowing the solder to join the metal.

• If the soldering iron is used for longer periods we recommend that you clean the tip

11

occasionally with the cleaning sponge (2) and re-tin the tip if necessary. Use a de­soldering braid (not supplied) to clean the joint, to de-solder and to remove excess
solder from the joint. Cover the excess solder with the de-soldering braid and heat up the
soldering tip (9). The melted solder is soaked up by the de-soldering braid.

Additional information on soldering

Solder and flux

Solder for the DIY market is almost exclusively produced in the form of wire.

There are two types of solder wire on the market:

1. Simple, unfilled solder wire - additional use of a suitable flux is required.

2. Solder wire with flux core.

Wood burning pen

• Firstly, make a sketch of the desired pattern on your workpiece with a pencil or

alternatively apply a ready-made template to the workpiece.

• Types of wood with smooth surfaces are particularly suitable for burning.

• When burning wood with a rough surface, be aware that it can be difficult to guide the tip

along the line required. In this case the surface should be sanded first.

• A wide variety of patterns can be created with the marking tips supplied.

• A sooty deposit can build up on the tip or the stamp during use. Use fine sandpaper to

remove the deposits and to keep the tips clean. A clean tip is essential for precise and
accurate work.

Storage conditions

• If the soldering iron set is not to be used keep it at a safe, cool, dry and well-ventilated

place out of the reach of children.

• Allow the appliance to cool down completely before storage.

12

Cleaning

de

CAUTION - DANGER OF BURNS! Allow the

soldering iron to cool completely before cleaning. To avoid
damage, do not use aggressive cleaning material, metal brushes
or sharp objects such as knives, etc.

• Clean the device with a soft, slightly damp cloth if required. Ensure that no moisture enters

the device.

• Clean the soldering tips with the help of the cleaning sponge included in the pack

contents.
