3rd Hand Grippers and Sponge Fig. 6
Your Craft Iron includes two flexible arm
grippers which are helpful when working
with small items. Note that the alligator
clips which grip the item being heated
may become quite hot. Allow ample time
for the clips to cool before touching the
grips or storing the Craft Iron.
The sponge located in the base of the
Craft Iron is helpful in keeping the
interchangeable tips clean.
CAUTION: Sponge must be thoroughly dampened before use and
checked frequently to make sure that it has not dried out. Do not
touch a dry sponge with a hot iron point. Avoid hot tip contact with
plastic parts of base.

WARNING: Be aware that this product may
ignite material.
Where this is a concern, test a piece of scrap
material.
Also protect what is under the workpiece with a heat resistant
material to avoid heat damage to a table. etc.
Turning The Unit On
Note: The channel around the bottom of the base
serves as a cord wrap for the cord.
To turn the Craft Iron On, plug the cord into an
appropriate 120V outlet. The tip will begin to heat up as
soon as the Craft Iron is plugged in. Push the switch
shown in figure 2 to select either the LOW (I) setting or
HIGH setting (II). Use the HIGH setting (II) for
woodburning and soldering applications and the LOW
setting (I) for iron-on/plastics, paper and fabric.
Ready For Use Indicator
A “ready for use” indicator shown in figure 3 is built-in
to the handpiece of the Craft Iron. The indicator starts
out solid gray at room temperature. When the window
shows solid yellow the tip has reached the LOW (I)
temperature (approximately 5 minutes). When the
window shows solid red the tip has reached the HIGH
(II) temperature.
