Important hints
with the STEINEL GL 1300
you have a tool that fulfills a
conventional need, using
modern techniques. To ob-
tain unlimited, trouble-free
use from your GL 1300
please note the following:
y
Operational tips
– The GL 1300 should not
be left within reach of
children.
– Do not allow to burn
without supervision.
– The GL 1300 can reach
temperatures up to
1300
h
C, therefore protect
yourself against burns.
– When the gas in the tank
is too cool or the tank
does not have sufficient
pressure (too little gas),
then a satisfactory perfor-
mance will not be achie-
ved.
When too cool, preheat
the gas tank with your
hands. Do not preheat
with open flame or in hot
water.
– Store preferably in room
temperature. Original
STEINEL butane gas has
freezing point of –13
h
C.
– To refill turn off soldering
tool, wait approx. 1 min,
point soldering tool down-
wards and press aerosol
can firmly into filler valve
until gas is emitted.
– After refilling the unit,
check that the refill valve
is absolutely tight and no
gas is escaping before
you ignite it.
– When the flame has not
enough pressure, try
refilling soldering tool.
– Soldering tip must be
tinplated before using
first time i.e. thin tin layer
(tin solder) to be applied
to tip when heated.
– After use, turn off the sol-
dering tool (emission of
gas can no longer be
heard) and leave to cool
before putting away.
– Should flame be pulsing
after ignition, turn adjust-
ment ring for airflow to
low position for approx.
30 secs.
y
Maintenance tips
– Do not dismantle solder-
ing tool or damage valve.
– Only use cleaned butane
gas (propane/butane
mixture) or genuine
STEINEL butane gas to
fill the soldering tool.
Failure to do so may re-
sult in the gas delivery
nozzle becoming blo-
cked or prevent the tool
from operating.
– If no gas is delivered from
a full soldering tool, the
gas delivery nozzle may
have become blocked as
a result of using a gas
mixture that is unsuitable
for this tool. In this case,
you must discharge the
gas soldering tool
through the filler valve (M)
(remove soldering tip or
hot air nozzle from the
tool, set tool to OFF and
press in the filler valve
(M) with a pointed object).
Now re-fill the tool with
cleaned gas. Please al-
ways make sure that you
only discharge the gas
outdoors and not in the
vicinity of naked flames.
– The soldering tips and hot
air nozzles have a built-
in-catalyzer (platinum-
coated wire mesh) and
should be protected
against damage caused
by knocking or dropping.
– Protect soldering tool and
aerosol can from tempe-
ratures above 50
h
C e.g.
do not attempt storing in
car!
y
Application hints
– The soldering tips are
long-lasting i.e. copper
core has been galvanized,
but do not clean with
sharp objects (brushes,
steel wool, etc.). Clean
soldering tip with sponge
or warmed ammonium
chloride.
– When working with sol-
dering tip, hot air is emit-
ted through air hole in
this tip. Turn it so that hot
air does not burn under-
surface.
– Make sure fresh air is
present when working
with soldering tool or flux.
–
Important for mainte-
nance technicians and
electronic engineers:
The soldering tool GL
1300 is especially useful
where soldering without
electricity is necessary
(maintenance, assembly,
repairs). Basically all kinds
of soldering should be
carried out in a dead con-
dition, as the soldering
tool does not possess any
special insulation (electri-
cal).
– Never attempt soldering
live connections.
– Attachments and mount-
ing support discolour dur-
ing use (could occur dur-
ing precise adjustment).
