5.3.3 Flux
The melting of the solder is improved with the use of flux while, at the same time,
impurities such as grease or metal oxide are removed and evaporate during soldering.

Organic fluxing agents like colophon and resins for acid-free soldering.
 Inorganic fluxing agents, which are highly effective these are effective but corrosive.
Use only for larger joints and clean the soldering joint thoroughly afterwards.
5.3.4 Printed circuits
The strip conductors and the miniature component parts are very temperature-sensitive
and can therefore be easily damaged. Pay attention to the following:

Prepare the soldering work well.

Pre-assemble the component parts.

Secure the printed circuit board or soldering joint against shifts.
 Use only first class solder with anticorrosive flux.
 Do not apply any surplus solder.

Keep the soldering time (heat load) as short as possible.
5.3.5 Handling of plastic
As it is used for many household items, flooring materials and toys, plastic can be worked
on with the soldering gun. The shape of the cutting point is specially designed for this.

Warm up the cutting point carefully and check until the material becomes pasty.
 Temperatures which are too high will harden or bum the material. Plastic may
therefore separate or a point of rupture Join together again.
5.3.6 Burning work on wood or leather
If you enjoy burning work then the cutting point offers you a special accessory specially
prepared for engraving.
The rapid adaptation of the working temperature to the material allows for work without
interruptions.
6 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
 Always keep the ventilation ducts and the housing of the appliance clean.
 Clean the appliance housing only with a damp cloth. Do not use any solvents.
Afterwards dry properly.
 Use only original accessories and replacement parts.
