clean and free of grease.
•
Before initial use, the soldering tip has to be tin-coated, i.e. coated with soldering tin.
Only good tin coating ensures perfect soldering and heat transfer.
•
Make sure that the soldering tip is always clean and free of scaling and excess
soldering tin. Clean the soldering tip regularly with a wet sponge. Never use a file for
this purpose.
•
Before soldering, establish a mechanical connection between the metals which are to
be connected together if possible. For example, twist the wires together so that they
do not slip. In this way you will obtain stable soldering points and avoid heat damage
through excessive soldering.
•
For the soldering of two metals, hold the soldering tip on the connection point and
briefly add some solder. The solder melts and flows into the soldering point. If the
tin has spread, remove the soldering iron and allow the soldering point to cool down
without vibrations. Never heat solder directly and do not use too much solder.
•
In the case of electronic components, the parts to be soldered must not be heated too
much in order to avoid damage.
•
Place the soldering tip on a heat-resistant surface or insert it into the station during
working.
•
Cleaning the solder tip on the wet sponge after work and put the soldering iron back
into the station.
CLEAN AND MAINTENANCE
•
Ask the service centre to carry out any work that is not described in these
instructions.
•
Use only original parts.
•
Before you begin any work on the device, make sure the on/off switch (3) is off
•
Risk of burns and electric shock
The following cleaning and servicing should be done regularly. This will ensure a long and
reliable service life.
Cleaning
Do not spray the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water. Electric shock
hazard!
Do not use cleaning agents or solvents. You may otherwise irreparably damage the
