TIP INSTALLATION
The following instructions are for tip installation only. If a tip is currently installed
in the handpiece, remove the installed tip (heater hot) and clean the heater bore using
the supplied 3/16" diameter wire brush prior to the installation of a new tip.
1. Tips should be installed when the
heaters are hot. Turn your power
source ON and set the
temperature for the channel
powering your handpiece to an
appropriate temperature (315°C
(600°F) is recommended for
initial use). Place the handpiece
in a ThermoTweez Hot Cubby
(PACE P/N 6019-0035) when
not in use.
2. Select the proper tip for your application. Refer to Table I or the Tip &
Temperature Selection System booklet.
NOTE
Selection of the proper tips is essential for successful repair. If you
do not have the proper tip, call PACE or your local authorized PACE
distributor for assistance. Ask for a copy of the PACE Tip & Applications
Catalog for the latest listing of available tips. Custom tips are available on
request.
3. Each ThermoTweez tip consists of two identical halves. With the
handpiece at the desired temperature, hold the handpiece with the heater
ends pointing up at an angle. Insert the shaft of one tip halve fully into
one of the ThermoTweez handpiece heaters. Insert the shaft of the
second tip halve fully into the other heater.
NOTE
If you like, the heater set screws may be tightened very slightly to
hold the tip halves in position while they are being aligned.
4. There are three basic methods for aligning your tips in the ThermoTweez
handpiece depending on tip size and type. Tips should be above solder
melt temperature prior to performing the alignment procedure. Follow
the appropriate procedure (a, b, or c) to install and align the
ThermoTweez tip properly.
