tool. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position, before you connect the tool to the mains. Holding the tool with a finger
on the switch or connecting an electric tool when the switch is in the ON position may lead to serious injuries. Before you turn an
electric tool on remove all the spanners and other tools, which have been used for adjustments. A spanner left on rotating
elements of the tool may lead to serious injuries. Keep your balance. Maintain an appropriate position. It will permit to control
the electric tool in case of unpredicted situations during its operation. Use protective clothes. Do not wear loose clothes or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from moving elements of the electric tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair may get caught on moving elements of the tool. Use dust extractors or dust containers, if the tool is equipped with
any. Make sure they are properly connected. Using of dust extractors permits to reduce the risk of serious injuries.
Operation of the electric tool
Do not overload the electric tool. Use a proper tool for the given purpose. A correct selection of the tool for the given work
will result in a more efficient and safer work. Do not use the electric tool if the switch is not functioning properly. A tool which
may not be controlled by means of a switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the mains socket
before any adjustment, replacement of accessories or storage of the tool. It will permit to avoid accidental activation of the
electric tool. Store the tool away from children. Do not allow untrained persons to operate the tool. An electric tool may be
dangerous in hands of an untrained person. Make sure the tool is properly maintained. Check the tool in order to detects
any unfitting or loose moving elements. Check whether the elements of the tool are not damaged. In case any damaged
elements of the tool are detected, they must be repaired before the electric tool is operated. Many accidents are caused
by improper maintenance of tools. Cutting tools must be sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools are easier to
control during work. Use electric tools and accessories in accordance with the aforementioned instructions. Use the tool
in accordance with its purpose, taking into account the kind and conditions of work. Should the tool be used for other ap-
plications than the ones it has been designed for, the risk of a dangerous situation increases.
Repairs
The tool may be repaired only by authorised service centres, which must use solely original spare parts. It will guarantee
a proper level of safety of operation of the electric tool.
SAFETY USE INSTRUCTIONS
The soldering tool may be connected solely to the 230V/50Hz mains. In order to avoid fire and burns, always use special non-
flammable bases under the soldering tool. Once the soldering tool has been heated, it must be held solely by the handle. Touching
of the soldering tip or other metal elements of a hot soldering tool may cause burns. Do not permit any contact of the power
supply cable with hot metal elements since this might result in an electric shock. If the cable is damaged, the soldering tool must
be disconnected from the power supply mains. It is prohibited to work with a soldering tool with a damaged power supply cable.
A damaged cable must by replaced by an authorised service centre. Do not repair damaged electric cables of the tool. After
work, the tool must be placed on the base to cool. This is the only acceptable manner of cooling the tool. Do not cool the soldering
tool placing it in water, since this may cause an electric shock. The soldering tip of the soldering tool must be replaced solely when
the power supply if off. The plug of the power supply cable must be disconnected from the mains. Before you proceed to replace
the soldering tip, make sure the soldering tool has cooled. The soldering tip must be inserted until you feel resistance. Fasten the
soldering tip in the fixture securely. Do not heat the soldering tool if a soldering tip is not installed. A lack of a soldering tip during
heating may cause a premature wear of the heating element of the soldering tool. Before you proceed to heating, make sure the
soldering tip is securely fastened to the soldering tool. Maintain the heating element and the soldering tip of the soldering tool
clean. It is prohibited to touch electric cables insulation with a hot soldering tip. It is prohibited to use the soldering tool in high hu-
midity conditions and in an explosive atmosphere containing gases and explosives or caustic dusts. Do not solder live element!
PREPARATION FOR WORK AND USING OF THE TOOL
Before work is commenced, make sure the body the cable with a plug and the extension cords are not damaged. If necessary, the
tool must be cleaned and the ventilating holes cleared. If any damage is detected, it is prohibited to continue working! Note! All the
actions related to replacement or cleaning elements of the soldering tool must be realised when the power supply of the tool is off,
so before you proceed to these actions: Disconnect the plug of the power supply cable of the tool from the mains socket!
Soldering must be realised by an adult acquainted with the industrial safety regulations related to soldering. Before the tool is
used, make sure the parameters of the power supply mains correspond to the data presented in the rating plate. Before soldering,
clean thoroughly the metal elements to be soldered as well as the soldering tip of the soldering tool. In case the soldering tip is
burnt, replace it with a new one. Before soldering, clean the surface to be soldered of any foreign matter, particularly grease. Do
not ever grind the soldering tip with abrasive paper, since it would damage the soldering tip coating.
Replacement of soldering tip
A used, narrow or dirty soldering tip must be replaced.
Loosen the screw at the soldering tip, and then remove it and replace with a new one. Make sure the soldering tip touches the
heating element, and then tighten screw.
