Notes: This kit contains electronic components that may contain hazardous
substance and may be harmful if misused. This activity is not intended for
children under the age of 12. Not to be used by children except under adult

Before You Begin
Instill good working habits. A soldering iron is not a toy.
• Prepare a clean, uncluttered workspace with no distractions.
• Verify all tools and parts.
• Review instructions. Attention to detail is critical.
Soldering
1. Insert the component leads through the
correct pads on the PCB.
2. Press the iron to the pad to heat the pad. Do
not move the iron. Instead, touch the solder
to the pad. Flow enough solder to ll the hole
and hold the component, but not too much.
3. Trim the excess lead as closely as possible to
the PCB.
Caution: Be careful when soldering and trimming
leads. Protective eyeware is recommended.
