Installation And Operation - TOOLCRAFT ST-100HF Bedienungsanleitung

7. Installation and operation

Follow the information in the "Safety information".
• Place the soldering station and soldering iron stand on a flat, stable and sufficiently large surface away from flam-
mable objects.
Do not place the soldering iron stand on top of other devices. If there is too much solder on the soldering
tip, it may drip onto or into the device when you remove or replace the soldering iron.
Soldering residue may also fall off the dry metal cleaner/wet sponge into the device when you are cleaning.
This can cause a short circuit.
• Protect heat-sensitive surfaces with a suitable cover. Never place the soldering station and the soldering iron stand
on valuable furniture or floors or on a carpet/rug. Maintain a sufficient distance from combustible or flammable
objects (e.g. curtains).
• If there is a piece of protective rubber (or other similar material) on the soldering tip, remove it before first use. This
is designed to protect the soldering tip during transport and is not required.
• Ensure that the screw (16) for the soldering tip is securely in place (do not use a tool to tighten the screw!).
• Insert the soldering iron into the soldering iron holder (11).
• Place the dry metal cleaner into the container on the soldering stand. Alternatively, insert the wet sponge after
dampening it slightly with water.
When using the dry metal cleaner, place the protective cover (12) onto the soldering iron stand. The protec-
tive cover holds the metal cleaner in place and prevents solder from splashing onto the sponge.
Dampen the wet sponge with water before use. It must not be too wet; squeeze it to remove any excess
water before use. Dampen the sponge from time to time to prevent it from drying out. Wash the sponge
occasionally in fresh water.
• Insert the soldering iron connector (18) into the corresponding socket (4) on the soldering station. The connector
only fits in one position; do not use any force when inserting it into the socket. Tighten the round cap nut on the
connector (do not use any tools!).
• The soldering station features an ESD socket (3) for use on an ESD workstation. Use a suitable cable to connect
the ESD workstation to the socket on the soldering station.
• Use the mains cable to connect the power-in socket (6) to a standard earthed mains socket.
