7. Use the appropriate soldering tool.
GB
Don't use a soldering tool whose performance is not adequate for your work. Never use the
soldering tool for purposes for which is was not designed.
8. Wear suitable work cloths.
There is a danger of burning yourself with liquid solder. Wear the corresponding protective
clothing in order to protect yourself against burns.
9. Protect your eyes.
Wear protective eyewear. When working with bonding agents, it is particularly important to
observe the warning notices of the bonding agent manufacturer. Protect yourself against
spattering solder. There is a danger of burning yourself with liquid solder.
10. Use a soldering vapour suction device
If devices for solder vapour suction are available, ensure that these are connected and cor-
rectly used.
11. Do not use the cord for purposes for which it is not designed.
Never carry the soldering tool by the cord. Don't use the cord to pull the power plug from
the socket. Protect the cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
12. Protect the work piece.
Use clamping devices to hold the work piece in place. This is more secure than using your
hands, and leaves both hands free to work with the soldering tool.
13. Avoid abnormal posture.
Set-up your work place with proper ergonomics. Avoid bad posture when working. Always
use the suitable soldering tool.
14. Take care of your soldering tool.
Keep the soldering tool clean for better and safer work. Follow the maintenance instructions
and the notices concerning changing the soldering tips. Regularly inspect all connected
cords and hoses. Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified technician. Use only ori-
ginal WELLER replacement parts.
15. Remove the power plug from the socket before opening the unit.
16. Remove all maintenance tools.
