IMPORTANT: Remove and clean the tip daily. If a new tip is installed, remove any
loose build up in the barrel assembly, otherwise the tip may fuse to the heating element
or retaining barrel.
SMD TWEEZERS OPERATION
For optional TWZ80 SMD Tweezers operations:
＊
Disconnect the soldering iron and change to TWZ80 Tweezers. Be sure the main
power switch is “OFF” before preceding this operation to avoid any damage.
＊
＊
＊
＊
Use only the approximately designed tips for the job to avoid unnecessary
component damage.
＊
＊
＊
＊
Gently pick up and remove components while ensuring that a vertical pick up and
pull out motion is maintained.
＊
Use the same procedure when reconnecting the solder wand.
Please note that the tweezers temperature will be lower about 5
0℃ than the soldering
iron temperature.

MAINTENANCE
TIP MAINTENANCE AND DRESSING
Tips can be changed or replaced simply by unscrewing the knurled nut barrel assembly.
The station must be switched off and allowed to cool before this operation as damage
may result if the system is left on without the tip in place!
After removing the tip, blow out any oxide dust that may have formed in the tip
retaining area of the barrel. Be careful to avoid getting this dust in your eyes. Replace
the tip and screw back the knurled nut barrel assembly using only firm hand pressure to
tighten. Pliers should only be used to tighten the nut to avoid burning your fingers, but
care should be taken not to over-tighten as this could damage the element.
