## Important notes

Use this manual pump only on de-energized circuits. The nozzle can contact soldering temperatures up to 350°C: prevent burns, use eye protection, ventilate soldering work, and keep the tool away from children. Do not use it as an electrical safety device. Confirm that the package includes the two spare silicone tubes.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
