persons to operate the tool. An electric tool may be dangerous in hands of an untrained person. Make sure the tool is
properly maintained. Check the tool in order to detects any unfi tting or loose moving elements. Check whether
the elements of the tool are not damaged. In case any damaged elements of the tool are detected, they must
be repaired before the electric tool is operated. Many accidents are caused by improper maintenance of tools. Cut-
ting tools must be sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools are easier to control during work. Use electric
tools and accessories in accordance with the aforementioned instructions. Use the tool in accordance with its
purpose, taking into account the kind and conditions of work. Should the tool be used for other applications than
the ones it has been designed for, the risk of a dangerous situation increases.
Repairs
The tool may be repaired only by authorised service centres, which must use solely original spare parts. It will
guarantee a proper level of safety of operation of the electric tool.
SAFETY USE INSTRUCTIONS
The soldering tool may be connected solely to the 230V/50Hz mains. In order to avoid fi re and burns, always use special
non-fl ammable bases under the soldering tool. Once the soldering tool has been heated, it must be held solely by the
handle. Touching of the soldering tip or other metal elements of a hot soldering tool may cause burns. Do not permit
any contact of the power supply cable with hot metal elements since this might result in an electric shock. If the cable is
damaged, the soldering tool must be disconnected from the power supply mains. It is prohibited to work with a solder-
ing tool with a damaged power supply cable. A damaged cable must by replaced by an authorised service centre. Do
not repair damaged electric cables of the tool. After work, the tool must be placed on the base to cool. This is the
only acceptable manner of cooling the tool. Do not cool the soldering tool placing it in water, since this may cause an
electric shock. The soldering tip of the soldering tool must be replaced solely when the power supply if off . The plug of
the power supply cable must be disconnected from the mains. Before you proceed to replace the soldering tip, make
sure the soldering tool has cooled. The soldering tip must be inserted until you feel resistance. Fasten the soldering tip
in the fi xture securely. Do not heat the soldering tool if a soldering tip is not installed. A lack of a soldering tip during
heating may cause a premature wear of the heating element of the soldering tool. Before you proceed to heating, make
sure the soldering tip is securely fastened to the soldering tool. Maintain the heating element and the soldering tip of the
soldering tool clean. It is prohibited to touch electric cables insulation with a hot soldering tip. It is prohibited to use the
soldering tool in high humidity conditions and in an explosive atmosphere containing gases and explosives or caustic
dusts. Do not solder live element!
PREPARATION FOR WORK AND USING OF THE TOOL
Before work is commenced, make sure the body the cable with a plug and the extension cords are not damaged. If nec-
essary, the tool must be cleaned and the ventilating holes cleared. If any damage is detected, it is prohibited to continue
working! Note! All the actions related to replacement or cleaning elements of the soldering tool must be realised when
the power supply of the tool is off , so before you proceed to these actions: Disconnect the plug of the power supply
cable of the tool from the mains socket! Soldering must be realised by an adult acquainted with the industrial safety
regulations related to soldering. Before the tool is used, make sure the parameters of the power supply mains correspond
to the data presented in the rating plate. Before soldering, clean thoroughly the metal elements to be soldered as well as
the soldering tip of the soldering tool. In case the soldering tip is burnt, replace it with a new one. Before soldering, clean
the surface to be soldered of any foreign matter, particularly grease. Do not ever grind the soldering tip with abrasive
paper, since it would damage the soldering tip coating.
Replacement of soldering tip
A used, narrow or dirty soldering tip must be replaced.
Loosen the screw at the soldering tip, and then remove it and replace with a new one. Make sure the soldering tip
touches the heating element, and then tighten screw.
Replacement of the heating element
Replacement of the heating element is complex and it requires adequate knowledge and authorisation. The heating
element must be replaced by qualifi es personnel in an authorised service centre.
Guidelines and recommendations regarding soldering
Select a soldering tool, whose power corresponds to the kind of work to be realised. Power 30 W: soldering of elements
on integrated circuit boards, soldering of small electronic elements. Power 60 - 80 W: Soldering of electronic and electric
elements (e.g. switches and contacts). Make sure the soldering tip is clean and properly fi xed in the soldering tool. Place
