CHANGING TIPS
Efciency is greatly dependent on choosing the proper tip to meet each
application.
1. Have the proper Tip installed.
2. Connect Hose to regulated air source.
3. Plugged-in Tool to a power source and set
desired temperature.
4. Turn on the air and adjust pressure .
5. Direct hot air towards the connection until
solder melts. Using "SMD helpers" will make
your job easier.
1. Turn Tip counter-clockwise by using a WT618 Tip
Wrench. (set of 2, the other is to hold the RS321
Retaining Sleeve) or use a WT620 .
2. Remove and replace with desired Tip.

The 3 very important factors involved when working with the ATMOSCOPE SMD Hot Air Tool are amount
of air output, temperature setting and type of Tip used. The key to an effective soldering is to reow
the solder without blowing the solder across the board and thus creating bridges.
OPERATION
Cut thru the connection with a
pull wire or shim blade while
hot air melts the solder.
