TOOLCRAFT ZD-8908 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 22

• Keep your workplace clean.
• Work only with enough lighting of the workplace.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation while soldering. Solder and flux agent vapours may be harmful to health.
The same applies if the product is used as a hot-air blower (e.g. to shrink shrink hoses); this may also
lead to the production of toxic or harmful gases.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after working with lead-containing solder.
• Do not put solder into your mouth, do not eat or drink while soldering.
• Wear suitable protective clothing and goggles when soldering. Liquid solder, solder splashes, etc. may
cause severe burns or eye injury!
• Never use soldering grease, acids or similar aids when soldering. They cause a bad soldering point.
Preferably use a soldering wire with flux agent core (core solder) or the corresponding SMD solder.
• Do not touch the hot-air nozzle by the tip. Danger of burns!
• Replace the nozzle only when the hot-air nozzle has completely cooled off.
• Only solder on non-flammable surfaces. Observe adjacent materials, since they may be damaged by
the heat.
• Only operate the product in moderate climate, never in tropical climate. For more information on accept-
able environmental conditions, see the chapter "Technical Data".
• Never operate the device immediately after it has been taken from a cold room to a warm room. The re-
sulting condensation may lead to malfunctions or damage! Moisture on the hot air soldering/unsoldering
system, the mains cable or mains plug also poses a danger of potentially fatal electric shock!
Let the product reach room temperature before taking it into operation again. This may take several
hours!
• When secure operation is no longer possible, shut off the product and protect it from inadvertent use.
Secure operation is no longer warranted if the product:
- has visible damage,
- no longer works properly,
- was stored under detrimental ambience conditions for an extended period or
- was subjected to considerable transport strain.
