Turning off the soldering station

Turn the power switch on the front of the soldering station off.

Place the soldering iron back into its holder. Don’t worry about wiping any excess solder off before you do this, the excess will protect the tip ready for the next use.

Turn off the wall socket for the soldering plug.

This will turn off the fume extraction, so don’t do this if someone else is using the other soldering station in the pair!

Clean up any remaining snipped leads or ends of wire before you leave.
