Special safety instructions

The plug socket must be in accordance with VDE (Association of German Electrotechnical
Engineers) regulations, and must be fitted with a 10-amp fuse!
The electrodes achieve a high working temperature, so neither touch front part of the forceps or
electrodes during and after soldering.
After soldering has been completed, the soldering gun must be laid down in such a manner
that no flammable objects can ignite and no injuries can be sustained by any persons.
Change worn electrodes and electrode holders.
Persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience and
knowledge do not allow safe operation of the device without supervision or instruction may not
use the device.
Children may not be allowed to play with the device.
