FUNCTION OPERATIONS
HOT AIR GUN COOL MODE
When the hot air gun is in use, press the airflow control knob quickly
to change the heated air to “COOL” mode. “COOL” will light up on the
screen and the hot air gun will stop heating and the air will drop to room
temperature. To re-activate the heat mode, simply press the airflow
control knob again quickly and the hot air gun will resume heating.
HOT AIR GUN AUTO/MANUAL MODE
When the hot air gun is in its holder on the side of the unit, it will
automatically go into a cool down mode. The hot air gun will continue to
blow air while it cools down to room temperature and then stops blowing
air. When the hot air gun is removed from the holder it will immediately
start the air flow again and heat up to the set temperature. When this
AUTO mode is on, AUTO will display on the screen.
If a project requires you to take it out of AUTO mode briefly, press the
AUTO/MAN button above the airflow control knob and the screen will
change to MANUAL. At this point the hot air gun will start to blow air and
heat up, even if it is in the holder.
NOTE: This unit should ALWAYS be used in Automatic mode for
safety purposes. It is very rare that manual mode is need.
Using Manual mode will also greatly reduce the life of the heating
element in the hot air gun.
SOLDERING IRON SLEEP FUNCTION
When the soldering iron is placed in the holder, the iron will go into
sleep mode after 2 / 10 / 30 minutes (depending on what it is set at).
The display will show “SLP” to signify this and the temperature of the
soldering iron will ramp down to 392°F / 200°C. When the soldering iron
is removed from the holder to use again, the temperature of the soldering
iron will ramp back up to the temperature it was previously being used at
within 5-10 seconds.
