American Beauty

 

has been a fixture in the soldering tool market-

place since 1894. Our tools are a throw-back to a time when people 
took pride in the tools they used and companies took pride in the 
tools they manufactured. Today, American Beauty

®

 tools are routinely 

chosen to tackle the most challenging soldering, brazing and thermal 
management applications with a diverse line of soldering irons and 
stations, solder pots, resistance soldering systems and accessories. 

Your American Beauty Industrial Grade Soldering Station has 
been manufactured to stand-up to the rigors of today’s demanding 
production environment. They are designed and produced to 
provide the same high performance expected from our entire line 
of Industrial Pencil-Style Irons while offering tighter temperature 
control to meet the needs of more sensitive soldering applications.  
All of our American Beauty soldering stations contain a compression 
wound nichrome wire heating element made from the highest quality 
materials for improved reliability during operation.  And, all of our 
elements and irons are wound and assembled right here in the USA.

With this type of tool, the operator plays an essential role in achieving 
quality end-results, avoiding injury and ensuring a long product 
lifespan. Please ensure that you take the time to read this manual 
carefully. It contains all the information required to understand 
how to properly set-up, operate & maintain this American Beauty 
equipment. Additionally, please feel free to visit our full-service
