So before I show a ‘typical’ repair workstation I would like to focus on health and safety for a moment. To see the fine soldering work we need to put our eyes quite close to the work. Also we need to keep in mind that solders contain a corrosive flux which is designed to remove copper oxides and prepare the surface for clean solder bonding. So unless protected, these flux fumes head straight towards our eyes and face.

So… I advise two precautions:

1/ eye protection in the form of either safety glasses or a large workspace magnifying lens to provide the desired separation.

2/ addition of a simple extraction fan with filter which draws the flux fumes away from the operator’s face.

End of safety lecture :)
