Changing soldering tips
Soldering tips must be changed when:
•
The size of the soldering tip does not match the soldering joint (current tip too big /
too small).
•
The soldering tip is worn or damaged (pitting corrosion, tip can no longer be wetted,
mechanical damage).
Before replacing the soldering tip:
■
Switch off the station. Allow the unit to cool to a safe temperature.
■
The tool for changing the tip (if necessary) should be at hand.
ATTENTION! Risk of burning!
Only use appropriate tools to change soldering tips and hot air nozzles. Changing still
hot soldering tips takes place at your own risk! If necessary allow the soldering tip to
cool down completely before changing it.
CAUTION! Material damage is possible!
Do not operate the soldering tools without a soldering tip, otherwise the heating ele
-
ment could be damaged!
6.7.1
i‑TOOL
The soldering tips of the i‑TOOL are fixed in a soldering tip fastening. For changing between different
tip sizes / shapes you should have a sufficient amount of soldering tip fastenings 3IT1040‑00 (black)
or 3IT1045‑00 (green) available. This way the most important tips can always be parked in the holder
together with their soldering tip fastening, without having to remove the soldering tip from the
soldering tip fastening. This enables quick and reliable changing of tips. Ideally the tips should only be
removed from the soldering tip fastening if they are worn and need to be replaced.
6.7.1.1
Changing the soldering tip on the i‑TOOL:
■
Loosen the soldering tip by turning the knurled nut anti‑clockwise.
■
Pull the soldering tip with the soldering tip fastening off the heating
element. If the tip is too hot, use the forceps for tip change 3N544 to
grip the soldering tip fastening on the metal cage.
■
Place the soldering tip with the soldering tip fastening on the metal
tube on the holder provided for this purpose.
ATTENTION! Risk of injury! Do not touch the tip!
Danger of injury caused by tin needles, sharp edges and shape related by the tip itself.
