Operation
Please Notice:
In the maximum setting (450° C), do not use the soldering station
longer than necessary to avoid excessive stress on the soldering tip.
The temperature necessary for soldering has been reached when
the solder melts on the soldering tip.
Flux is used exclusively for less delicate work to remove oxides on
the soldering joints and to prevent oxidation during the soldering
process.
If clots form, the temperature is too low.
If pearls instead of layers form, the soldering tip is dirty. Clean it with
fine emery paper or the
soldering tip cleaner, article
number 50 01 40.
Turning the Soldering Station OFF
After work, allow some solder to melt on the soldering tip. This is to
protect the soldering tip during the period of non-use. Excess solder
can be wiped off on the wet cleaning sponge after reheating for the
next use.
Place the soldering iron in the holder (9).
Turn the soldering station OFF with the ON/OFF switch (position
“O”).
Allow the soldering iron and the soldering station to cool down fully
before storing.
Please Notice!
If the soldering station is operated without a soldering iron or with a
defective soldering iron, a warning sound can be heard and the display
will flash “ERROR”. Plug in or replace the soldering iron.
Hint
The soldering station will remember the last set temperature after
turning off.
Changing the Fuse
Before starting work on the unit, always pull the power plug!
