digital soldering station PSIS 10-230V
Start-up
Unpacking the device
•
Take the device and the accessories out of the packaging.
•
Check the contents for completeness and look for
damages.
Warning
Risk of suffocation!
Do not leave the packaging lying around. Children may
use it as a dangerous toy.
•
Dispose of the packaging material according to the
national regulations.
Inserting / changing the soldering tip
Caution
Burn hazard!
Removing the soldering tap must only be
performed if the device has been switched off and the
soldering tip has cooled down.
The soldering tip (
8
) has a screw thread which allows to quickly
and easily replace the soldering tip.
1. Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
2. If necessary, allow the soldering iron (
9
) to cool down in
the soldering iron holder (
4
).
3. Turn the pre-mounted soldering tip (
8
) counter-clockwise
in order to unscrew it from the soldering iron (
9
).

4. Turn the new soldering tip (
8
) clockwise into the soldering
iron (
9
).
Tin-coating the soldering tip
Prior to initial start-up of the soldering station or if using a new
soldering tip, the soldering tip (
8
) must be coated with tin.
Connecting the power cable
1. Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains
socket.
Operation
General information:
•
The parts to be soldered must be clean and must not show
any signs of an oxide layer. If required, remove any oxide
deposits with alcohol or steel wool.
•
Use a suitable mat to protect the working surface from
splashes resulting from soldering.
•
Avoid vibrations on the workpiece during the cooling
phase. This can lead to 'cold solder joints'.
•
Prior to starting soldering work, use some solder to tin-
coat the clean soldering tip.
•
Do not use the maximum temperature longer than
absolutely necessary. This will increase the working life of
your soldering tip.
•
Once the solder starts melting on the soldering tip, the
required temperature has been reached. If clots begin to
form, the temperature is too low.
•
If the soldering tip does no longer work properly, try
cleaning it using fine sand paper. Afterwards, tin-coat the
soldering tip again by applying some solder and soldering
flux around the tip, then heat the tip.
