NEW TIPS
Applying the following steps will lead to optimum life.
1.
Set temperature to min. then turn the main power switch to the ON position.
2.
Set temperature to 25
0
(48
2
).
3.
Coat the tinned surfaces with rosin-core solder after reaching 25
0
(48
2
).
4.
Set to desired temperature after allowing the unit to idle at 25
0
for 3 minutes.
5.
The iron will be ready for use once it reaches the preset temperature.
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 TWZ120 SMD Tweezers operations:
Disconnect the soldering iron and change to TWZ120 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.
