OPERATING GUIDELINES
G. SOLDERING IRON
1. Connect the Soldering Iron connection assembly to the receptacle located
at the front of the control panel (item “5” from the CONTROL PANEL
GUIDE page).
2. Follow the initial procedures (“
A. INITIAL PROCEDURES
”).
3. Activate the SOLDERING IRON activation switch (“10” from control panel).
This will automatically start to increase the temperature of the soldering
iron to
350°C
(default).
4. Adjust the soldering iron temperature using the SOLDERING IRON TEM
PERATURE adjustment buttons (“3” from the control panel). The prefix of
the display for Hot Air Gun Temperature will change from “
H
” to “
h
” indi
cating that air temperature is being adjusted. It will return to “
H
” after a
few seconds of releasing the buttons and while the temperature is gradu
ally increasing or decreasing until the desired temperature is reached. In
the example below, the final (desired) hot air gun temperature is 280°C.
5. Start using the soldering iron as soon as the desired temperature is
reached. Use the soldering iron temperature display panel for reference.
NOTE:
The soldering iron has a memory function in which the last set tem
perature would be the initial set temperature whenever the unit is turned
off

OPERATING GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT:
When adjusting the air temperature, it is strongly
advised to increase the airflow level first in order to manage the
system temperature. This is to protect the heating element inside
the handle from excessive heat and avoid subjecting adjacent
components of target device/s from thermal shock.
6. Reworking task can be started as soon as the desired hot air temperature
and airflow level are reached, as also indicated from display panels “6”
and “7”, respectively.
7. When reworking is complete, return the Hot Air Gun to its holder and
DO
NOT
immediately unplug the device from the main power source.
8. Deactivate the HOT AIR GUN activation switch first in order to activate
the autocooling process. The system will start to blow air (at room tem
perature) at maximum rate to reduce heat from the hot air gun and bring
the temperature down to a safe level of
90°C
. During this time, the pre
fix of hot air gun temperature display will also change from “
H
” to “
C
”
while temperature is gradually decreasing. The air pressure level, like
wise, will be at its highest reading as indicated from the display panel.
Once the temperature drops to approximately
90°C
the hot air gun will
automatically stop and display “
OFF
” on the panel. It is now safe to un
plug the device from the main power source if the system reached this
9. Unplug the device from the main power source.
10. Allow the device (and its components) to completely cool down before
keeping in a safe and dry place. (Optional but recommended).
