IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.  Know your product. Read operator's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this product. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.  Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when assembling parts, operating the product, or performing maintenance. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.  Do not lay a hot soldering iron on its side.  Do not touch the heated tip of the soldering iron.  Use the soldering iron in a well-ventilated area to avoid breathing fumes.  Do not point the tip of the soldering iron at another person.  Do not place your hands or fingers near the tip of the soldering iron.  Never leave the soldering iron unattended while it is in the on position.  Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.  Do not operate battery products in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Battery products create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.  Keep children and bystanders away while operating this soldering iron. Distractions can cause you to lose control.  Do not allow children to use the soldering iron. It is not a toy.  Always assume that the soldering iron tip is hot.  Do not solder live circuits.  Do not disassemble the tool.  The soldering iron tip is sharp. Do not touch the tip or allow it to come in contact with anything other than soldering wire and the workpiece material.  Hold soldering iron by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the tip may contact hidden wiring. Tips contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the soldering iron "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.  Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.  Do not expose battery products to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a battery product will increase the risk of electric shock. These fluids can cause battery pack failure including short-circuit resulting in smoking, fire and/or serious personal injury.  Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.  Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a battery product. Do not use the product while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating battery products may result in serious personal injury.  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the product. Carrying battery products with your finger on the switch or energizing battery products that have the switch on invites accidents.  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. This enables better control of the battery product in unexpected situations.  Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can contact a heated nozzle.  Do not use the battery product if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any battery product that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  Remove the battery pack from the product before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the product. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the product accidentally. 2 - English
