Tip replacement and dressing
Note: Tip replacement or cleaning should be done only when the iron is at room
temperature. The tip can be changed or replaced simply by unscrewing the knurled nut
barrel assembly. The station must be switched off and allowed to cool before and during
this operation, as damage may result if the system is left on without the tip inserted. After
removing tip, blow out any oxide dust that may have formed in the tip retaining area of the
barrel. Be careful to avoid getting dust in you eyes. Replace the tip and screw the retaining
knurled nut barrel assembly using only hand pressure to tighten. Pliers should only be
used to tighten the nut if loosening should occur when the iron is hot to avoid burning your
fingers. Care should be taken not to overtighten as this would damage the element.
General cleaning
The outer case of the iron station may be cleaned with a damp cloth using small amounts
of liquid detergent. Never submerse the unit in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the case of
the station. Never use solvent to clean the case.
