soldering and heat transfer.
• Make sure that the soldering

Charging process
Do not expose the battery to
extreme conditions such as
heat and shocks. There is a risk of
injury caused by leaking electrolyte
solution! In the case of contact, rin-
se with water or neutraliser. Seek
medical advice if the solution has
come into contact with the eyes etc.
The battery must only be
charged up in dry areas.
The device cannot be used
while it is being charged.
• The device may only be powe-
red with SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) as indicated by the
label on the appliance.
• Charge the battery installed in
the device before using it for the
fi rst time.
• It is best to use the charging
device provided to charge the
battery.
• Recharge the battery when the
heat output diminishes.
• Always comply with the latest
safety information, as well as the
regulations and information rela-
ting to environmental protection.
• Defects resulting from improper
handling are not covered by
the guarantee.
1. Insert the soldering iron into
