Desoldering process
Use the tip model with a larger diameter than
the pad to be desoldered, so as to achieve
maximum aspiration and thermal efficiency.
1 Apply the desoldering iron tip so that the
component terminal penetrates within its
orifice.
2 When the solder liquefies, start gently to
rotate the desoldering tip so that the
component’s terminal can be eased away
from the sides.
3 Press then, not before, the vacuum pump
push-button just long enough to aspirate
the solder.
After pressing the desoldering key there is a
slight delay until the self-contained vacuum
pump stops, this is to make sure that the
vacuum circuit is completely empty.
If any solder remains are left on any terminal after
attempting to desolder it, resolder it with fresh
solder and repeat the desoldering operation.

Tip care
- The largest rod that fits in the tip hole should
periodically be passed through in order to
clean the intake tube.
- To clean the tips, use the sponge included
with the stand and check it is slightly
moisted.
Only deionised water (car battery water)

If normal water was to be used, it is very
likely that the tip will become dirty due to the
salts dissolved within the water.
- Do not file the tips or use abrasive tools
which may damage the tip’s protective
surface coating and avoid knocking them
about.
- If the tip has been a long time without
being tinned, use a metal brush to remove
any dirt and oxid.
IMPORTANT
::::: DO NOT press the pushbutton
vacuum pump while tinning the desoldering tip,
as the fumes given off by the flux would quickly
soil the ducts and filter of the air circuit.
