Desoldering process
Use a tip with a larger diameter than the pad to achieve maximum aspiration and thermal efficiency.
Place the tip with the
component terminal in the
hole.
After pressing the desoldering key there is a slight delay until the self-contained vacuum pump
stops. This makes sure that the vacuum circuit is completely empty. If any solder remains are left
on a terminal after desoldering it, resolder it with fresh solder and repeat the desoldering operation.
When the solder liquefies,
gently rotate the tip so that
the compo nent terminal can
be lifted off.
Press the vacuum pump
button long enough to remove
the solder.

2. Rotating
The intake tube should be periodically cleaned by the largest rod.

Important
DO NOT press the vacuum pump button while tinning the desoldering tip, as the fumes given
off by the flux would quickly block the ducts and the air filter.
