8.1
Important care jobs
To ensure a long service life of your station, a few points must be observed.
■
Make sure that the soldering and desoldering tip is always tinned. A
soldering tip which is always clean will become passive within a short
time. If you always leave a small amount of solder at the soldering tip
when you stop soldering, the service life increases substantially.
■
If necessary wipe the soldering tip only just before the start of the sol-
dering process.
■
To obtain good electrical and thermal conductivity, occassionally
remove the soldering tip and clean the heating element shaft with a
brass brush.
■
Make sure that the effectiveness of the ventilation holes is not im-
paired by a build-up of dust.
Only use genuine ERSA consumables and spare parts to ensure reli-
able functionality and warranty!
Warning!
There are no parts to be maintained within the device!
8.2
Cleaning
Occasionally clean the device with a moistened soft cloth. Steam cleaners, pressure
washers, scrubbing sponges, abrasives, solvents like alcohol or benzine must not
be used!
