breathed in or swallowed. It is safer to wash hands after handling
reels of solder.
• Waste disposal. When disposing of soldering waste,
follow local waste collection instructionse.
• Ventilation. Materials and ancillary products
used for soldering can be harmful to health. Ensure
adequate ventilation or extraction. Follow safety
instructions.
• Power lead care.
Don't unplug by pulling on the lead, and never use it to carry the
unit. Protect leads from heat and contact with oil or sharp objects.
A damaged lead increases the risk of fi re, short-circuit and electric
shock.
• Environmental caer. Protect equipment from liquids and damp.
Failure to do so may lead to fi re or electric shock.
• Soldering iron care. Always keep soldering tools safe, away from
moisture and children. Check and maintain equipment at regular
intervals. Use only original parts and accessories.
• National and international regulations. Adhere to instructions
and recommendations governing health and safety at work.
4. Starting operation
Important:
The soldering tip is heated up to 450°C (842°F). Remove any com-
bustible objects, fl uids and gasses from the operating area of the
soldering iron. Do not allow the soldering tip to come into contact
with the skin or sensitive material. When not using the soldering
tool, always place it in the holder.
Observe the following points for safe and long-lasting use of the
soldering tool and soldering tip:
• Do not strike the soldering iron against hard objects, as the
ceramic heating element is fragile. Do not knock off tin.
• Before using the soldering iron, check whether the soldering tip is
correctly mounted (1003A.80E hook in sping).
• Before soldering, wipe the tip on the moist sponge.
• Do not wipe the tip after soldering.
• Wipe the soldering tip only on a moist sponge, otherwise the tip
will quickly become unusable.
• Never use the soldering iron without a tip.

4.1 Switching On for the First Time

Please read through these Operating Instructions completely before
commissioning.
Procedure for commissioning:
• Check whether the mains voltage
matches the value specifi ed on the
nameplate.
• Set mains switch to 0.
• Place soldering iron into holder stand.
• Insert mains plug in the socket.
• Switch on device (set mains switch to I).
After the display test has been run through (all
display elements briefl y light up simultaneous-
ly), the actual temperature of the soldering tip
is displayed.
The soldering station is now ready for operation.
• Press top key to increase temperature, press
bottom key to decrease temperature.
• Digital display shows actual value (A) and
default value (B).
4.2 Instructions for soldering
• The soldering joints must always be clean and
grease-free.
• Soldering times should be as short as possible, but the soldering
joint must be suffi ciently and uniformly warmed in order to ensure
a good soldering connection.
• Before soldering, lightly wipe the soldering tip on the damp
sponge so that it again has a metallic shine. This helps keep the
soldering joint from being contaminated by oxidized solder or burnt
fl ux.
• Heat the soldering joint by bringing it in equal contact with the
pad and component connection.
• Add solder wire (Sn95,5Ag3,8Cu0,7 solder wire with fl ux core
according to EN 29454).
• Repeat soldering procedure.
• From time to time, wipe the soldering tip on the damp sponge.
Dirty soldering tips lengthen soldering times.
• Do not wipe off the soldering tip after the last soldering operation.
The residual solder protects the soldering tip from oxidation.

5.1 Changing the soldering tip

• Switch off soldering station and allow soldering tip to cool to
approx. 40 °C / 104 °F.
