Operating Guidelines
1. Before turning on the unit, ensure that the hot air gun is in the
holster and the soldering iron is connected properly. The hot air gun
needs to be in this position EVERY TIME the unit is started.
2. Ensure there are no obstructions or blockages in the hot air gun
and/or attachments.
3. After using the hot air gun, place it back into the holster, and allow
the unit to initiate the cool down procedure until the display reads
“---”. Then power can be turned off.
4. When using the small nozzle attachment for the hot air gun, set
airflow to the maximum value to keep the hot air heating element
from overheating and breaking.
5. When using the soldering iron for the first time, be sure to allow the
iron to come to the proper temperature then clean and tin the tip to
provide longer life expectancy.
6. When “---” is displayed on the LED display, the outlet temperature
of the hot air gun is below 100°C, the handle has been properly
replaced into the holster, and the unit is in standby mode.
7. Do not use excessive force when installing/removing hot air nozzles
or soldering iron tips.
8. Do not over tighten the bolt on the hot air attachments.
9. Store any spare heating elements in a cool, dry, safe place to avoid
damage for future use. The ceramic heating elements are extremely
fragile.
10. Upon first use, the tube on the soldering iron may discolor a bit due
to the combination of the material composition and high heat. This
is perfectly normal and expected behavior.
11. Upon first use, white smoke may be visible from the hot air gun and
will go away shortly after heating. If the unit keeps smoking, refer to
troubleshooting section or contact the manufacturer.
Safety Precautions
1. Never use the soldering iron or the hot air gun near any flammable
substance, material, or gas.
2. Never touch the metallic components of the soldering iron or the hot
air gun while they are in use. The items may be extremely hot and
will cause serious burns instantly. Allow the unit to properly cool to
room temperature cbefore attempting to touch them.
