INTRODUCTION
The SL-5 series of soldering stations are quality
products designed to give the professional, student
and hobbyist greater control in quality soldering a
broad range of soldering situations. The stations are
available with variable wattage irons.
receptacle on the back of the station allows soldering
irons of up to 300 watt. The AC receptacle also
allows irons to be easily changed or replaced.
A special safety feature (patent pending) of the SL-5
is its ground fault detection circuit, which warns you if
your station is not properly connected to earth

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Like all electrical devices, the solder station must be
handled with care. The soldering iron and tip can
reach high temperatures and these simple safety
rules should be followed.

ground, if your hot and ground wires are reversed, or
if your hot and neutral wires are reversed. This is
important when working with today's static-sensitive
electronic components and is critical for safety when
working with high-voltage circuitry.
If you have received a solder practice kit SP-1A or
SP-3B with this kit, do the solder practice first before
assembling the solder station. Learning to solder
properly is essential to good working electronic
circuitry.

4. Keep flammable material away from the soldering
iron.
5. DO NOT cool iron by dipping it into any liquid or
water.
6. Always assume that the tip is hot to avoid burns.
7. Work in an area that is well ventilated.
8. Be careful that the hot soldering iron tip or the
barrel of the iron does not come in contact with
any electrical cord.
