APPLICATION & OPERATION
Note:
The first time you use the soldering irons, they may smoke slightly as the heating
element dries out. This is normal and should only last for a few minutes.
ONLY USE FOR ELECTRICAL WORK
- Acidic solder will damage the iron tip.
•
Remove the four transit screws from the underside and assemble the separate
stand then place the tools in their holders. Dampen the sponge and place it in the
tray on the holder.
•
Connect the plug on the soldering iron lead to the socket below the left hand
display and tighten the locking ring finger tight.
•
Connect the mains lead and plug into the mains supply and turn on the power
using the switch on the rear of the unit.
•
The yellow buttons on the front panel switch the two parts of the unit on or off.
•
The LCDs will illuminate when the switch is on and the display shows the
previously set temperature.
•
Between use (or during breaks), always put the soldering iron and hot air gun into
their holders.
•
Lower the temperature of the iron during breaks as this extends the life of the tip.
•
When any soldering work is done, adjust the temperature to 270
o
C or switch off
the power first, clean the tip and tin with fresh solder to protect it from oxidation.
Note:
Applicable to the soldering iron only - not the hot air gun.
Adjusting the temperature
•
Adjust the temperature for the iron or hot air gun by pressing the UP or DOWN
buttons on the relevant half of the station front panel.
•
The lower figure is the required temperature, the upper figure shows the actual tip
temperature.
While the iron is heating up to the required temperature “HEAT ON” displays on
the LCD.
•
If the difference between the required temperature and that of the iron tip is greater
than 10° “WAIT” displays on the LCD.
•
To change from °C to °F press “
o
C /
o
F”
button. The display shows °C or °F after
the temperature figure.
•
Adjust the air flow using the rotary control next to the hot air gun
connection.

•
If the tip is worn, replacement Irons are available for this station -
see our website or catalogue.
