10. Soldering Tip Care and Use
a. Tip Temperature
• High soldering temperatures can degrade the tip
•
Use the lowest possible soldering temperature. The excellent thermal recovery characteristics ensure efficient and effective
soldering even at low temperatures
• When not in use, do not leave the soldering iron on at a high temperature as the tip’s solder plating will get covered by oxide,
reduction it’s heat conductivity
b. Cleaning
•
Clean the tip regularly with a cleaning sponge, as oxides and carbides from the solder and flux can form impurities on the
tip. These impurities can result in defective joints or reduce the tip’s heat conductivity
• When using the soldering iron continuously, be sure to loosen the tip and remove all oxides at least once a week. This helps
prevent seizure and reduction of the tip temperature
• After use, wipe the tip clean and coat with fresh solder. This helps prevent tip oxidation
11. Changing the Soldering Tip
a. Always turn the power OFF when removing or inserting a soldering tip
b. Let the tip to cool down to room temperature before holding it with heat resistant pads
c. Loosen nut (1 in diagram 7)
d. Pull out the shaft of the soldering iron (2 in diagram 7)
e. Remove the old soldering tip and replace with new one (3 in diagram 7)
f. Reverse the process to secure the soldering tip
g. Preferred Soldering Tips : 21-10140, 21-10142, 21-10144, 21-10146, 21-10148, 21-10150, 21-10152, 21-10154,
21-10156, 21-10158
