Never connect your electronic device to the mains immediately after it has been taken
from a cold room to a warm one. The resulting condensation could, under adverse cir-
cumstances, destroy the appliance. Allow the device to reach room temperature before
switching it on.
Never touch the device with wet or moist hands. Danger of electric shock!
Ensure sufficient ventilation when soldering. Soldering vapours may be hazardous
to your health.
Wash your hands thoroughly after working with solder containing lead. Do not put
solder containing lead into your mouth and do not eat while working with it.
The connecting cable has to be protected against heat and sharp edges.
Wear suitable protective clothing and glasses when soldering.
Children must be supervised at all times when they are in the proximity of soldering
irons.
Only solder on non-flammable surfaces. Protect other materials nearby from damage
through heat.
If you have reasons to assume that safe operation is no longer possible, then dis-
connect the appliance immediately and secure it against inadvertent operation.
It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:
■
the appliance is visibly damaged,
■
it does not function any longer and
■
if it has been stored for long periods of time under unfavourable conditions
■
if it has been subject to considerable stress in transit.
