4. Set the required working temperature,
either by pressing one of the preset
buttons (14), (15) or (16), or by pressing
the increase button (12) or reduce button
(13) to increase or reduce the temperature
in steps of 10°C.
5. The temperature display shows when
the actual working temperature reaches
the set working temperature (set point
temperature).
6. Put the power switch in position [0] to
switch off the product.
Working temperature
The correct working temperature depends on:
• type of soldering wire
• size and thickness of the workpiece
• type of material and thermal conductivity
of the workpiece.
It is recommended when soldering to start
a relatively low temperature (max 300°C)
and if necessary to gradually increase the
temperature. The soldering tip has reached
the correct working temperature when the
solder melts immediately on contact with the
soldering tip.
A higher temperature is recommended for
unsoldering, usually 400 to 450°C depending
on the material thickness of the joint.
SOLDERING
Always solder on some scrap material first
before starting the actual soldering. Carefully
clean the surfaces to be soldered.
1. Apply solder to the hot, new or cleaned,
soldering tip (9) by applying the soldering
wire against the tip.
2. Put the soldering wire with flux against
the outer end of the tip to melt the
soldering wire. The flux spreads out over
the joint, which ensures that the solder
adheres properly.
USE
ATTACHING THE SOLDERING TIP
WARNING!
Risk of personal injury. Allow the soldering
iron to cool before replacing the soldering tip.
WARNING!
Risk of personal injury. Some tips are very
sharp. Wear safety gloves and/or use pliers
when changing soldering tips.
Pointed soldering tips are the most suitable
alternative for spot soldering of electronics
and thin wires. Flat soldering tips are the most
suitable alternative for soldering electrical
installations. Follow the instructions below
when changing the soldering tip.
FIG. 3
1. Unscrew the tip from the tip holder on the
soldering iron.
2. Screw the new tip firmly in the threaded
tip holder. Do not overtighten.
SPONGE TRAY AND SPONGE
Put the sponge in the tray and moisten before
use.
START AND TEMPERATURE SETTING
Follow the instructions below to start the
product and set the required temperature.
FIG. 4
1. Put the power switch in position (I).
2. The set working temperature (set
point temperature) is shown on the
temperature display for a few seconds,
after which the actual temperature is
shown.
3. The working temperature can be set from
200 to 450°C (see recommendations
below).
