(plastic, synthetics or imitation leather)
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR LITHIUM ION SOLDERING KITS
zContact with a hot tip could ignite ammable materials. Contact with a hot
tip could ignite a re.
zWhile in use do not stand or store Lithium Ion Soldering Iron on its side.
Lithium Ion Soldering Iron could tip resulting in contact between hot tip and
ammable materials. Always set/store Lithium Ion Soldering Kit on stand
provided
zDo not place Lithium Ion Soldering Iron in coil stand.
zKeep hands clear of the tip serious burns can occur if skin contacts tip
zWork in well ventilated areas, as Lithium Ion Soldering Iron can produce
fumes and smoke.
