Slide a new tip down inside the retainer and refit
onto the gun.
•
Replace and tighten the knurled nut (finger tight
only).
Caution:
Do not over tighten the nut as the element could be damaged.
NOTE:
The additional tips supplied are sealed with solder when new. When the
desoldering iron has reached operating temperature and the solder has melted, pull the
trigger on the gun to extract the solder into the waste collector.
CLEANING
•
Cleaning should only be done when the power is switched off and the irons are
at room temperature. Use a damp cloth and a small amount of liquid detergent if
necessary.
•
Never submerse the desoldering gun, iron or control station in liquid or allow any
liquid to enter the case.
•
Do not use any chemicals, abrasives or solvents that could damage the
desoldering gun, interconnecting leads and pipe, soldering iron or the control
station.
•
If the vacuum efficiency seems to be reducing, pull off the vacuum pipe from the
control unit and unscrew the adaptor. Do not lose the sealing washer from inside
the adapter. Pull out the filter pad from inside the connector on the control unit and
examine for blockage. Replace with a new one if required (supplied).
SOLDERING IRON TIP REPLACEMENT
•
Replacing the soldering iron tip should only be done when the iron is switched off
and at room temperature.
•
The tip can be changed or replaced by unscrewing the knurled nut barrel.
Caution
: Damage could occur if the iron is left on without the tip inserted.
•
After removing the tip, blow out any remaining oxide dust that may have formed in
the tip retaining area of the barrel.
Warning
: Care should be taken to avoid getting dust in your eyes.
•
Replace the tip and tighten the knurled nut barrel assembly with your fingers.
•
Pliers should only be used to tighten the nut if loosening occurs when the iron is
hot.
•
Do not over tighten the nut as the element could be damaged.
