13. Replacing the fuse
The fuse protects the device against overload. The fuse should not be triggered during normal use.
The fuse may be triggered by a fault in the soldering iron or a short circuit in the cable between the soldering iron and
the soldering station. The fuse may also be triggered by a fault in the soldering station.
Follow the steps below to replace a defective fuse:
• Switch off the soldering station. If the soldering iron is still hot, allow it to cool down completely.
• Disconnect the soldering station from the mains voltage (remove the plug from the mains socket). Then disconnect
the mains cable from the soldering station.

screwdriver.
• Remove the fuse from the fuse holder.
• Check the fuse, e.g. with an appropriate meter (digital multimeter).
If the fuse is defective, replace it with a new fuse of the same type (see “Technical data” at the end of these operat-
ing instructions).

• Insert the new fuse into the fuse holder. Insert the fuse holder back into the soldering station until it clicks into place.
• Connect the soldering station to the mains and switch it back on.
If the fuse blows again, disconnect the soldering station from the mains and ask a technician to conduct a
comprehensive check.
