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 of the station.
•
Connect the plug on the soldering iron lead to the left socket and the desolder gun
to the right socket on the front of the station and tighten the connector locking ring
finger tight.
•
If the equipment is being used for the first time check that a filter pad is inserted
inside the threaded socket then connect the vacuum pipe adaptor and tighten by
hand to form an air tight seal.
•
Push the vacuum pipe fully onto the adaptor stub.
•
Assemble the separate iron holder and place the soldering iron in the holder and
place the desolder gun in the holder mounted on the side of the station.
•
Before using the soldering iron for the first time, dampen the cleaning sponge and
place it in the tray on the base of the iron holder. Keep it damp during use.
•
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 irons in their holders.
•
Lower the temperature 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 desolder gun.
