Safety advice
Safety advice
½
CAUTION! Failure to observe the instructions and advice given
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy or
poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
b)
c)
Do not work with the device in potentially
explosive environments in which there are
inflammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical
power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes.
Keep children and other people away
while you are operating the electrical tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of the device.
2. Electrical safety
To avoid danger to life from electric shock:
a) The mains plug on the device must match the mains sock-
et. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not
use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a protec-
tive earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the
risk of electric shock.
b) Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Water
entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.
GB/IE/CY

Safety advice
c) Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if
operating the electrical power tool in a moist envi-
ronment is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
d)
Do not use the mains lead for any purpose for
which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the
device, to hang up the device or to pull the
mains plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains
lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts
of the device. Damaged or tangled mains leads increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) Do not operate the device if the mains lead or mains plug is
damaged.
WARNING!
A damaged mains lead presents a serious
danger to life from electric shock.
f) Always keep the mains lead out of the operating area and run it
away from the rear of the device.
g) Always pull out the mains plug if you are about to leave the device
unattended or wish to carry out any tasks on the device.
3. Personal safety
a) Children or persons who lack the knowledge or ex-
perience to use the device or whose physical, sensory
or intellectual capacities are limited must never be
allowed to use the device without supervision or in-
struction by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must never be allowed to play with the device.
b) Remain alert at all times, watch what you are doing
and always proceed with caution. Do not use the
device if you are tired or under the influence of

Safety advice
drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness
when using the device can lead to serious injury.
DANGER OF BURNS! Never touch the hot soldering
tip or the molten solder. You could suffer burn injuries.
Always let the device cool before you replace components
on the device, clean it or check its condition.
½
½
½
After use let the soldering pencil cool down in air only. Under no
circumstances quench the tip in water!
CAUTION! DANGER OF FIRE! Place the soldering
pencil down only in the special multifunctional holder
or on a fire-resistant pad.
½
Place the soldering pencil in the multifunctional holder during
pauses in your work.
½
½
Keep the device away from combustible material.
Never leave the device switched on and unattended.
CAUTION! DANGER OF INJURY! Keep your hands away
from the hot workpiece. The heat from soldering can be conducted
through the workpiece. For this reason you should use the third
hand to hold small workpieces.
½
½
Avoid placing the hot soldering tip in contact with the plastic parts
of the multifunctional holder. Failure to observe this advice may
result in damage to the device.
If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug immediately
out of the mains socket.
CAUTION! DANGER OF POISONING! Do not breathe air
contaminated with soldering fumes.
½
When working with the device for long periods do not
allow the fumes from soldering to build up. They may
be hazardous to health. Always provide adequate
ventilation of your working area. In addition, it is recommended
that you wear protective gloves, a face mask and a protective
apron.

Safety advice
½
Do not eat, drink or smoke in rooms where soldering is carried
out. Otherwise your hands may transfer any adhering traces of
lead via food or cigarettes into your body.
½
½
Always wash your hands immediately after soldering .
Do not dispose of soldering waste with the household rubbish.
Soldering waste must disposed of as special waste.
4. Careful handling and use
of electrical power tools
a) When not in use always ensure that electrical power
tools are kept out of reach of children. Do not let any-
one use the device if he or she is not familiar with it
or has not read the instructions and advice. Electrical
power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced
people.
b) Look after the device carefully. Check for broken
parts or parts that are damaged to the extent they
detrimentally affect the functioning of the device.
Have any damaged parts repaired before you use
the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly main-
tained electrical tools.

Soldering

The soldering pencil has a rated output of 30watts and is there-
fore ideal for electronics soldering.
The design of the soldering pencil makes it especially suitable for
use where access is difficult or for fine soldering work.
To achieve the best results use electronics solder 1.0 (10g elec-
tronics solder with integrated flux is included) or 1.5mm diameter
100% Sn. We recommend the use of soldering paste (not solder-
ing grease or soldering fluid) as a flux.

Clean the soldering tip

After cleaning the tip
it must be “tinned” (coated with solder).
This is done by melting solder on to the hot soldering tip

Place the solder (with flux) between the joint site and the tip
to melt it.

.
˽
˽
Guide the soldering tip
to the intended joint site and heat the joint.

˽
˽
Continue to feed further solder until the whole joint has a covering
of solder.
Then quickly remove the soldering tip in order to avoid overheating
the molten solder.
Allow the solder to harden while not subjecting it to vibration or
movement.
Note: The flux is either already contained in the solder or applied
separately. Ask the advice of the retailer when buying solder in or-
der to choose the most suitable solder for your intended purpose.
Attachments and applications:
ATTENTION! Do not carry out any special changes or repairs to the
electrics or other parts. Exceptions are permitted if the person carrying
out such changes or repairs is qualified or trained to do so.

Operation/Maintenance and cleaning
You can fashion and decorate various materials with your soldering
pencil. Remove the parts of the surface or engrave design elements
into it (see Fig. D).
You can carry out these decorations in, for example, wood, leather,
paper, papier mâché, smooth fabrics, thin plastics or candle wax.
Try every application out on surplus material and see if you get the effect
you wish to have. This means you will avoid damaging the item you
wish to work on.
