Thank you Kent for that thoughtful caution.  I have a holder for mine.
When I use it for wire stripping, I lay it on its side on a heat resistant surface on the workbench. No need to touch anything other than the handle and the trigger to start the suction.

And if you DO own a Hakko 808, remember it is not a soldering gun with an on/off trigger.  It is ALWAYS HOT while plugged in.  The trigger simply activates the suction mechanism.

When you lay it down, lay it on something non-combustable and non-painful.
