Fire risk
Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause life-
threatening fire, burns and toxic smoke. Connect your soldering iron or
soldering station only when actually needed. Use the correct soldering
iron or station and 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.
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.
Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges. Life
threatening! 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.
