CAUTION DANGER OF BURNS!
The soldering iron, the soldering tip and the
soldering iron holder remain hot for some time after
disconnection from the mains!

Working with the device (fig. D / E)

• Connect the mains cable (6) with a suitable mains supply and place the soldering iron
with the tip in the tool holder (15). Allow the soldering iron to heat up. This can take
approximately 3 to 5 minutes depending on the required working temperature.
• The correct working temperature is reached when the solder begins to melt as soon as it
comes into contact with the soldering tip.
• Before soldering the soldering tip must be tinned. Heat up the new soldering tip (or first
clean an existing tip with the soldering sponge) and coat it by applying solder wire to the
tip.
• Before starting work on the a particular workpiece and/or type of material, check for
suitability by testing the soldering iron on a similar piece of (scrap) material.
• Clean the parts you wish to join before starting to solder.
• Touch the edge of the flux-cored solder wire on to the very end of the soldering tip (6) to
melt the solder wire. The workpiece is coated with the flux, which flows out of the solder
wire, allowing the solder to join the metal.
• If the soldering iron is used for longer periods we recommend that you clean the tip
