OPERATING GUIDELINES 

F.  TRADITIONAL REWORKING GUIDE 

The hand held reflow gun is also well suited for traditional reflow solder­ 

ing and extraction, the following is a brief guide on reworking via the tradi­ 

tional method.

 

Extraction: 

1.  Prepare  the  unit  to  be  worked  upon  on  a  stable  elevated  surface.  A 

working  platform  with  locking  mechanisms  to  secure  the  PCB  is  highly 

recommended. Use a preheating station if appropriate. 

2.  Pick up the hot air gun. 

3.  Set the temperature to about 220 to 300 degrees Celsius. 

3.  Turn the airflow to around 16­30. 

(

NOTE: 

Air flow and temperature may vary depending on size of job) 

4.  Wait for the hot air temperature to reach the desired setting. 

5.  Place the hot air gun vertically on top of the target device. This will allow 

hot  air  to  directly  heat  up  the  target  device  and  melt  the  solder.  Use 

appropriate nozzle for better extraction. 

6.  Use an air suction pen to safely remove the SMD. 

7.  Allow the PCB to cool down.

 

Soldering: 

1.  Prepare  the  unit  to  be  worked  upon  on  a  stable  elevated  surface.  A 

working platform with locking mechanisms   to secure the PCB  is  highly 

recommended. Use a preheating station if appropriate. 

3.  Apply solder paste to the PCB . 

4.  Pick up the hot air gun. 

5.  Set the temperature to about 250 degrees Celsius. 

6.  Turn the airflow 16­30.

NOTE: 

Air flow and temperature may vary depending on size of job)

OPERATING GUIDELINES 

Stage 2: SMD Extraction 

1.  The target device should be around 180°C after subjecting to pre­heat. 

2.  Lower the mouthpiece of the soldering gun a little to increase the effec­ 

tive temperature to 210°C 

3.  Continue the spiral motion but this time concentrate more on the target 

device. 

4.  The solder would be molten after around 30 seconds. The SMT device/s 

can now be extracted. 

5.  Use an air suction pen to safely remove the SMD.

 

Stage 3: Cooling Down 

1.  The PCB needs to slowly cool down in order to minimize thermal shock. 

2.  Gradually raise the hot air gun to a height of about 15cm or half a foot 

from the target board. 

3.  Then remove the hot air gun from the target device.

 

WARNING: 

Items can be very hot. Allow sufficient time 

for  items  to  cool  down  before  handling.  Use 

proper equipment to handle hot objects.
