necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must
be used, make sure:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on
charger.
b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
■ Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug. If
damaged, have it replaced immediately by a qualified
serviceman.
■ Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take
it to a qualified serviceman.
■ Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
■ To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger
from outlet before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
■ Disconnect charger from power supply when not in use.
■ Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated portion
of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
■ The battery pack should be charged in a location where
the temperature is more than 10°C but less than 38°C.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
The product is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the product by a person responsible
for their safety.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to
flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short
circuit.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
2
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps
or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The operator should pay particular and additional
attention to these points in order to reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
■ Injury caused by hot surface
–
Never touch the solder tip when it is hot.
■ Injury caused by fume
–
Fume will be created by the soldering operation
which can cause respiratory and eye injury. Wear
appropriate mask suitable for protecting against
fume from the materials being worked on. Work on
area with good ventilation.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING
The product should never be connected to a power
supply when assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product
is not in use. Disconnecting the product will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
Let iron cool down completely before performing an
maintenance.
■ When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
■ Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt and carbon dust.
■ Do not, at any time, let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
■ Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
■ While the soldering iron tip is hot, wipe the tip against a
damp sponge or a metallic wool pad to remove debris.
Keeping a clean tip is important to extend the life of the
tip and will improve solder melting and flow during use.
