Particular Safety Rules

1. Do not use the soldering iron if the device, power cable, or plug is damaged.
2. Use the soldering iron in a well-ventilated area. Some soldering materials emit toxic fumes. Ensure adequate ventilation. Never use in a closed area. Always wear a suitable respirator mask during soldering. Some solder wires may contain high proportions of lead.
3. Never touch the hot tip, even after unplugging, as there is a burn risk. Parts of this device reach very high temperatures. Only touch the handle while soldering. The part between the tip and the handle is very hot.
4. Always turn off the device and let it cool down completely before handling or changing accessories.
5. Check that the tip is not unscrewed from the handle (tighten when cold).
6. Do not use the soldering iron in the presence of children or leave it within their reach.
7. Use a non-flammable and stable support to place the iron between solders.
8. Be mindful of the cable's position; the iron is lightweight and can be pulled by the cable.
9. Keep flammable materials (fabrics, wood, paper, cardboard) away from the soldering iron. Heat can spread to hidden parts or nearby objects. Ensure no combustion sources are present. Do not use near fuel tanks or gas bottles, as residual heat can ignite soldering waste.
10. Always turn off the iron during breaks and do not leave it unattended when hot.
11. Never solder a live workpiece.
12. The mains voltage must match the data on the device's identification plate.
13. Any repair must be performed by a specialist or authorized service.
14. Do not use the device if it is wet or in a humid environment.
15. To change the tip, always unplug the device and let it cool down.
16. Wear suitable protective goggles for soldering.
