Testing and Adding a Switch to 862D+ Station

Done
Physical build

Addressing safety concerns and adding a mains power switch to an 862D+ solder reflow station.

Some 862D+ reflow station clones have a wiring safety issue — fuses and switches connected to neutral instead of hot — and some models are missing a power switch entirely. This project covers how to test for the wiring issue and how to add a switch to units that lack one.
