SOLDERING IRON

POWX1381

1 APPLICATION

A soldering iron is a hand tool most commonly used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt

the solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces.

Soldering irons are most often used for installation, repairs and limited production work.

High-volume production lines use other soldering methods.

WARNING! For your own safety, read this manual and the general safety

instructions carefully before using the appliance. Your power tool should

only be given to other users together with these instructions.

 Before heating up make sure the bit is properly in position, the clamp screw must be

tighten.

 Connect to appropriate main current.

 The bit can only be removed when the soldering iron is switched off and without

using force. Bit to be inserted till stop.

 Do not heat up soldering iron without bit.

 After use let the soldering iron cool down in the air. ( do not cool off in water).

 After use put the iron only down on a holder

 The cable of the soldering irons is a special high quality cable. It is resistant against

short-time contact with hot metal parts. In case of damage the cable can not be

exchanged due to the special construction of the soldering iron. The iron can then no

longer be used according to the safety prescriptions.
