Introduction
Please make sure you familiarise yourself fully with the way
the device works before you use it for the first time and that
you understand how to handle it correctly. Please read the
operating instructions below. Be careful to keep these advice notes and
if necessary pass them on to a third party.

Proper use
The device is intended for soldering tasks in a DIY environment. Soft solder-
ing takes place at temperatures below 450°C. Suitable solders have typical
melting temperatures around 200°C. Use the device only as described
and for the indicated purposes. The device is not intended for commercial
use. Any other use or modification to the device shall be considered as
improper use and could give rise to considerable dangers. The manufac-
turer will not accept liability for loss or damage arising from improper use.

Safety advice
ꢀ
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
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.
c) Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if
operating the electrical power tool in a moist envi-
GB/IE

Safety advice
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 drugs,
alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness when
using the device can lead to serious injury.
10 GB/IE
Safety advice
ꢀ
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.
ꢀ
ꢀ
After use let the soldering gun cool down in air only. Under no
circumstances quench the tip in water!
When allowing the device to cool or when taking a break from
using it, always stand the device up vertically with the soldering
tip at the top.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Keep the device away from combustible materials.
CAUTION! DANGER OF INJURY! Keep your hands away
from the hot workpiece. Avoid contact with the hot soldering tip.
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.
ꢀ
ꢀ
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.
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.
ꢀ
ꢀ
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.
GB/IE 11
Safety advice/Use
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.

Original accessories/attachments
ꢀ
Use only the accessories detailed in the operating
instructions. The use of attachments or accessories other than
those recommended here could lead to you suffering an injury.

Use
Switching on and off
Switching on:
ꢁ
Insert the mains plug into a suitable mains socket. Press the
ON/OFF switch 4 and keep it pressed.
ꢁ
Maximum switched-on duration: 12 seconds
12 GB/IE
Use
Switching off:
ꢁ
ꢁ
Release the ON/OFF switch 4 .
Pause: At least 48 seconds
CAUTION! Never heat up the device if it is not fitted with a sol-
dering tip.
ꢁ
ATTENTION! Never use in continuous operation mode. The flow
of electrical current controls the delivery of soldering heat. As soon
as the ON/OFF switch 4 is released, the delivery of soldering
heat drops. If the ON/OFF switch 4 is pressed again, the deliv-
ery of soldering heat rises. Pay particular attention to achieving an
even delivery of soldering heat to ensure the highest soldering quali-
ty. You can do this by not allowing the soldering tip 1 to become
excessively hot.
Note: The device has a soldering light 3 to illuminate the work-
ing area.

Replacing a soldering tip
CAUTION! DANGER OF BURNS! Allow the device to
cool down before replacing a soldering tip.
ꢁ
ꢁ
ꢁ
ꢁ
Release the two union nuts 2 using the open spanner 9 .
Pull the soldering tip 1 or 7 out of the holder.
Insert another tip into the holder.
Tighten the two union nuts 2 using the open spanner 9 .
