longer than 2 seconds. A good soldering spot in cooled status looks smooth and shiny
after the removal of the soldering iron. Poor, defective soldering spots look dull, uneven
and brittle after cooling-down. Beside the application of unsuitable solder or a too high
soldering temperature set, defective soldering spots often occur due to too short or too
long soldering times. A soldering spot may not be heated too long. On the other hand do
not take away the soldering iron from the soldering spot too early, but only when the
soldering tin flows like bare silver.
2. After finishing the soldering, leave some solder at the soldering tip before placing it into
the holder and switch off the soldering station. The remaining solder will then be wiped
off the hot soldering tip by the moist cleaning sponge before starting the next soldering
operation.
6.5 Notes on Application:
The easy handling and the short heating time might lead to careless handling of the
soldering station. Avoid this behavior absolutely! In order to ensure risk free soldering for
users and protecting the soldering station from damages, follow the safety instructions
and warning notes in this manual as well as the valid national or European directives.
7 Care, Maintenance, Storage and Transport:
ATTENTION! There is a risk of electric shock, short circuit and burnings!
•
Always disconnect the mains plug from mains and let the device cool down!
•
Use a dry linen cloth to clean your product, or use a slightly moist cloth for heavy stains.
Look out for live cables of your device during cleaning! Do not use any cleaning supplies
and avoid liquid entry to the device.
• Make sure there is sufficient space around the system to ensure proper ventilation during
working breaks and cooling down.
•
Avoid places with high temperatures, humidity, or places which can become wet, also
during care, maintenance, storage, and transport.
•
Mind the notes on safety also regarding care, maintenance, storage and transport.
•
Keep the product away from children!
•
Reposit the original packaging as protection from dust and humidity for transporting.
•
Follow the safety symbols on the packing during transport.
•
In case of transporting the soldering station from cold to warm rooms the sudden
change of temperature may lead generating condensation water causing negative
effects or damages to the electronics of the device. Only switch on the soldering station
when having adapted to room temperature.
