D) Operation - TOOLCRAFT ST-100HF Bedienungsanleitung

• Do not place any containers, vases or plants that contain liquid on or next to the soldering station or
mains cable.
If liquid enters the soldering station, it may destroy the soldering station and cause a fatal electric shock
or fire.
If liquid does enter the soldering station, switch off the mains voltage to the socket containing the mains
plug (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the fuse, and then switch off at the cor-
responding RCD protective switch). You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket.
Discontinue use immediately and take the product to a specialist repair shop, or dispose of it in an envi-
ronmentally friendly manner.

d) Operation

• Do not use the soldering station in rooms or in adverse conditions where flammable gas, vapours or dust
may be present, as this may cause an explosion.
• Do not cover or fasten any items to the soldering station, as this constitutes a fire hazard.
• Before switching on the soldering station, ensure that you connect the soldering iron to the soldering
station.
• Ensure that the soldering tip on the soldering iron is attached correctly. Never use the soldering iron
without the soldering tip, as this will damage the heating element and temperature sensor and void the
warranty/guarantee!
• Turn the soldering station off before connecting it to the mains. The soldering station is designed to be
powered by a mains voltage (230 V/AC, 50 Hz). Always connect the soldering station to a standard
earthed mains socket (via the mains cable) that is connected to the public grid.
• The base of the soldering iron holder features a small container that you can use to store the metal
cleaner or wet cleaning sponge. The wet cleaning sponge must be dampened with water.
You can then use the dry metal cleaner or the wet sponge to remove flux residue from the hot soldering
tip.
Never clean the hot soldering tip with a dry sponge, as this will damage the sponge!
The dry metal cleaner cleans the soldering tip gently and ensures a longer lifespan, as there is no tem-
perature shock from cold water. A small amount of solder will remain on the tip.
• Before first use, the hot soldering tip must be coated with tin. Place a small amount of tin solder (solder
wire with flux) onto the soldering tip (the top 5 mm) to cover it with an even film of solder.
• Do not brush solder residue on the soldering tip onto the housing of the soldering station!
• Never use the soldering iron to heat up liquids.
• Never solder live electrical components or parts. Always fully disconnect the device containing the parts
that you want to solder from the power supply. After disconnecting it from the power supply, check the
voltage with a suitable measuring device and take measures to prevent unauthorized use (e.g. use a
warning sign).
Caution!
Touching or soldering capacitors (or similar components) or leads/cables that are connected to capaci-
tors may cause a fatal electric shock! Capacitors may stay charged for several hours after you switch
off the power supply!
