b) Switching the unit and display values between degrees Celsius (°C) /
Fahrenheit (°F)
Follow the steps below to change the temperature unit:
• To switch the temperature unit between °C and °F, set the sliding switch for the temperature unit (1) to the desired
unit.
• The temperature display will switch to the selected unit.
• The temperature unit setting is saved automatically when you switch off the appliance. It will be selected the next
time you switch on the soldering station.
The temperature sensor is built into the heating element (not in the replaceable soldering tip). The soldering
tip may therefore take a moment to heat up to the preset temperature.
c) Soldering
Always use the handle to hold the soldering iron. Never touch the hot soldering tip or sleeve. Burn hazard!
Always put the soldering iron in the holder when it is heating up or during breaks from soldering. Ensure
that the soldering contacts on the workpiece are clean.
• Test the temperature of the soldering tip by holding it against some solder. If the solder melts, this indicates that
the temperature is correct.
When soldering on larger soldering points, set the working temperature slightly higher.
• Apply solder to the heated soldering tip. Wipe off excess solder from the soldering sponge.
• Heat the soldering joint and apply solder.
• Allow the soldering joint to cool down. Do not shake the soldering joint when it is cooling down.
• After each solder, clean the soldering tip with the soldering sponge.
Reduce the temperature setting during breaks. This increases the lifespan of the soldering tip and saves
energy.
• Place the soldering iron (8) back into the stand to cool down.
• When you have finished soldering, place the soldering iron in the stand and turn the soldering station off with the
on/off switch (6) ((I = ON / 0 = OFF).
• Never file the soldering tip, as this may cause permanent damage.
Allow the soldering iron to cool down after use. Never immerse the soldering tip in water.
Only use solders for soldering on electronic components. Acidic solders will damage the soldering tip.
