For your safety For your safety Safety Notes Ersa products are developed, manufactured and tested in compliance with essen- tial safety requirements. Residual risks nevertheless remain! You should therefore read these instructions before you start to operate the tool for the first time. The instructions will help you operate the soldering tool safely as well as becoming acquainted with all functions and properly using them. - Page 6 For your safety WARNING Fire hazard due to hot soldering tool! a) Before switching on the soldering station, all easily combustible objects, li- quids and gases must be removed from the working area! b) Always place the soldering tool in the supporting stand when not in use! c) Disconnect the soldering station from the mains after use! CAUTION Risk of burns! The soldering iron gets hot immediately after it is switched on!
- Page 7 For your safety CAUTION Wear protective equipment! During soldering, hot solder or corrosive flux material can splatter from the solder joint. Avoid getting solder or flux material in the eyes or on the skin by wearing protective equipment! a) Adhere to the company’s internal regulations for protective clothing! b)Adhere to the safety data sheets for the solder and flux material used! WARNING Dangerous electrical voltage!
- Page 8 For your safety CAUTION Toxic fumes when soldering! During soldering, emissions are produced from the solder materials and the as- semblies. These emissions are harmful to health. Do not inhale the fumes! a) Ensure sufficient ventilation or use a solder fume extraction system! b) Adhere to the safety data sheets for the solder and flux materials used! WARNING Danger of fire and electric shock!
