Emptying the desoldering tank and changing
the filter
This should be done while the tip is still hot, with
a minimal temperature of 250°C, to make sure the
tin is melted, and therefore every precaution should
be taken.
- Release the clasp of the lock.
ENGLISH
- Fit the new tip, and tighten up with the
spanner until the aluminium gasket is
compressed to achieve a good air tightness.
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.

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 the metal brush Ref. 0297705
adaptable to the support, 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.
- Empty the tank by tipping up the soldering
iron.
- Insert through the tip hole the rod which
matches its diameter.
- Note the state of the filter and replace it if
soiled or damaged.
- Put the lock with the filter again and make
the clasp secure.
- Pull the lock then you take out the filter,
without spilling any of the solder in the
tank.
