SOLDERING.
WARNING
Cleaning compound, trichlorotrifluoroethane, for electrical parts is toxic and
flammable, and reacts violently with aluminum, titanium, barium, lithium, samarium,
sodium, and potassium. Always wear protective goggles and rubber gloves, and use
only In a well-ventilated area. DO NOT wear Jewelry while using cleaning compound.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes, and DO NOT breathe vapors. Cleaning
compound fumes or vapors can take the place of air and may become a cancer
producing agent. DO NOT use near open flame or excessive heat. The compound's
boiling point Is 114°F (460C). If you become dizzy while using cleaning compound,
Immediately get fresh air and medical help. If compound contacts eyes, immediately
wash your eyes with water and get medical aid.
CAUTION
Use low wattage soldering gun when soldering electrical wires, connectors, terminal
lugs, and receptacles. High wattage soldering guns may damage parts by overheating.
a.
Solder connection must be bright and clean before soldering. Remove dirt and grease with
trichlorotrifluoroethane (Item 38, Appendix C). Solder used must be of lead alloy (Item 30, Appendix C) with soldering
flux (Item 20, Appendix C). All wires, parts, and soldering gun (Item 36, Appendix F) must be tinned for good connection
and maximum transfer of heat.
b.
To prevent overheating damage to electrical parts when soldering and unsoldering connections, hold bare
wire, lead, or terminal lug close to soldering point with long roundnose pliers (Item 44, Appendix F). Pliers act as heat
sink and absorb excess heat.

Immediately get fresh air and medical help. If compound contacts eyes, Immediately
wash your eyes with water and get medical aid.
c.
Clean all solder joints with a scrub brush (Item 5, Appendix C) and electrical parts with
trichlorotrifluoroethane (Item 38, Appendix C) after soldering to get a bright, clean surface.
