When the tip is heating up the indicator is steadily on. A fl ashing light indicates that the tip
has been heated up to the set temperature. If the indicator light goes out, the tip cools down.
The soldering iron does not have any active tip cooling system. When a lower temperature
than the current one is set, wait until the tip is cools down itself. Do not attempt to speed up
the cooling of the tip in any way.
Caution! When powering on for the fi rst time, set the temperature to 250°C. This will burn
out the factory applied preservatives of the tip. A small amount of smoke with a smell of
preservatives can be released. Do not inhale the smoke and vapours coming out of the tip.
Set the desired temperature after burning out the tip.
If it is necessary to switch o ff the device, move the power switch to the o ff position – O.
Turning the temperature lock switch towards the locked padlock symbol will lock the tem-
perature set by the temperature controller. If the temperature is locked, it will not be possible
to change it with the knob. The temperature is unlocked by moving the lock switch to the
open padlock symbol.
The station automatically monitors its condition. If no activity is detected for 10 minutes, it
will go into the sleep mode and the tip will begin to cool down. This prevents oxidation of
the tip surface, extends the appliance life and saves energy. To wake the station up from
the sleep mode shake the soldering iron several times or turn the soldering station o ff and
on with a switch.
After each use, it is recommended to clean the tip with a damp sponge or special brass
wool. Then cover the tip with a thin layer of solder and place the soldering iron on the stand.
Once done, switch the station o ff with the power switch.
If the “S-E” message is displayed on the screen, it indicates that the temperature sensor
is faulty. In this case, replace the soldering iron heating element. Replacement must be
carried out at an authorised manufacturer service centre. The “SLP” message indicates
that the station is in sleep mode.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
After fi nishing work, clean the tip using a damp sponge and then place the soldering iron
in the stand, switch o ff the soldering station with the power switch and leave it until all
elements have cooled down completely. Disconnect the station from the power supply by
pulling the power cord plug out of the power socket. Clean the station housing and soldering
iron holder with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water, then dry it.
Check the tip condition; if any defects, damage, or changes in shape are observed, replace
the tip with a new one. Unscrew the clamping sleeve by rotating the ring located near the
soldering iron handle. Then pull out of the sleeve the old tip and replace it with a new one.
Mount the sleeve with the tip to the soldering iron.
The sponge for cleaning the tip should be cleaned under a jet of lukewarm water. Replace
excessively soiled or damaged sponges with new ones.
Store the product disconnected from the power supply in places not accessible to unauthor-
ised persons, especially children. The storage place should protect against dust, moisture,
precipitation, excessive heat, and provide adequate ventilation to prevent condensation of
water vapour.
