SAFETY HINTS

Follow these guidelines to ensure your safety while you use the soldering
gun.

    Keep the gun away from flammable materials.

    Do not use the gun as a screwdriver or pry.

    Release the trigger when the tip is not in contact with the
    workpiece.

    Be sure the gun is cool before you remove or replace the tip.

    Do not dip the tip into any liquid, including liquid flux.

    Clean the tip by lightly wiping it, while still hot, across a damp
    sponge placed on a non-flammable surface.

    Always wear safety glasses when you use the soldering gun.

SOLDERING TIPS

    Be sure to secure the workpiece to prevent movement during soldering.

    To ensure a strong bond, thoroughly clean the surfaces before
    soldering.  Remove rust or finishes with steel wool, sandpaper, or a
    wire brush.  Remove any grease or oil with alcohol.

    Use the proper solder for the intended work.  Use only rosin core
    solder for electrical work.  Never use acid core solder on electrical
    components, or damage might result to both the workpiece and the
    soldering tip.
