Hold wires to be heated with tweezers or clamps.
■
Never use the soldering iron to heat up liquids.
■
Never solder live electrical components or parts. There is an increased risk of electrical
shock. Always switch off the power before soldering.
■
Capacitors can have residual charge. Touching capacitors can result in fatal electric
shocks. Discharge capacitors before soldering.
■
The hot soldering tip or barrel can ignite flammable surfaces and objects.
– Place the soldering iron on the stand when not in use (if provided).
– Always solder on non-flammable surfaces.
– Do not cover, wrap around, or fasten objects to the soldering iron.
■
Do not operate the product/appliance unattended. Disconnect the product/appliance from
