DEADLY WIRING FAULT ; Atten 858D+ Hot Air Rework Station
GA:
I have recently purchased ATTEN AT858D+ from goodluckbuy.com for $68.65 including delivery. It took around 25 days for delivery to Croatia -- it spent half of it in the Customs. Before plugging it in, I took it apart and inspected the wire connections. The case was not earthed, so I fixed that. The mounting holes for the cradle is on the left side only.

Watched this video the other day after somebody mentioned it here. Very interesting. I think I will get me one.
Today I visited a local electronic surplus store and saw this small blower.It explains the plastic filing at 9:15 in the video.

I just received an Atten 858D+ hot air rework station direct from China. When I plugged it in and switched on it was completely dead - no display or any activity. On taking the front panel off I found that the power input socket had been mis-wired and mains active was tied directly to the exposed metallic parts of the heat gun.
This is a potential killer - no pun intended. Please if you have purchased but not received one of these items check the mains wiring before switching on. Even if you have one that appears to be functioning ok it would be best to have a look whether it has more insidious faults such as neutral to earth or active-neutral transposed.
It was on the news that some time back a poor kid got killed because he bought what he thought was a replacement charger for is game machine from China :rant:, this annoys me greatly that our authorities are not doing much about this, only when someone dies might it become a news item like the poor kid did |O. Why are our authorities not taking effective action against these lethal imports, why are sanctions not brought up on those whom peddle these dangerous goods. |O
For what it's worth the serial number of my unit is 1042111302610.
