2. Cleaning
The remnant flux during soldering process will form oxides and
carbides which will cause damage to the tip, soldering difference and
thermal recovery decreasing. Clean the tips regularly with the
cleaning sponge.
Remove the oxides and carbides once a week if using the soldering
station continuously to protect the tip.
3. When not in use
When the work is finished, don’t leave the soldering station at high
temperature for long time. Or the flux in the tip will turn to oxides
and carbides which will reduce the heat conductivity of the tip
largely.
4. After use
Wipe the tip and coat it with fresh solder. This will protect the tip
from oxidation.

. Inspect and Clean the Tip
CAUTION
: Never file the tip to remove oxide.
(1)
Set the temperature at 250

(2)
When the temperature is stable, clean the tip with the cleaning
sponge and check the condition of it.
