MAINTENANCE
Replacing the desoldering tips:
•
There are 3 different diameter tips supplied with this iron.
•
Replacing the tip should only be done when the iron is switched off, unplugged
and allowed to cool.
Caution:
Damage could occur if the iron is left powered on without the tip fitted.
•
Unscrew the knurled nut and remove the outer
tube retainer.
