3.1. Safety instructions
Mechanical hazards
Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch out for sharp edges
when you pick up the PCB.
Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger. Do not use damaged parts: recycle
and replace them with new ones.
Fire risk
Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause fire, which can result in
injury or death through burns or suffocation. Connect your soldering iron or soldering station
only when actually needed. Always keep the soldering iron away from inflammable materials.
Use a suitable soldering iron stand. Never leave a hot soldering iron or station unattended.
Thermal danger
A hot soldering iron or liquid solder accidentally touching your skin can cause skin burns. As a
precaution:
use a heat-resistant mat during soldering,
always put the hot soldering iron in the soldering iron stand,
point the soldering iron tip carefully when soldering, and
remove liquid solder with a thick wet rag or wet sponge from the soldering tip.
Dangerous environments
A working area that is too small or cramped is unsuitable and can cause accidents, fires and
injury. Prevent this by working in a clean, dry room with enough freedom of movement.
Other dangers
Children can cause any of the accidents mentioned above because they are inattentive and not
responsible enough. Children under the age of 14 should not be allowed to work with this kit
or the ready-built module.
Caution:
!
Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges, with fatal results! Do not
allow components to reach small children.
In schools, training centres, clubs and workshops, assembly must be supervised by qualified
personnel. In industrial institutions, health and safety regulations applying to electronic work
must be adhered to.
