Diameter of hole is widened through erosion.
Solder plating
Properly maintained, the de-soldering gun should provide years of good service. Efficient de-soldering depends on
the temperature, and the quality and quantity of the solder and flux. Perform the following service procedures as
indicated by the conditions of the gun’s usage.
WARNING:
Since the de-soldering gun can reach a very high temperature, please work carefully. Except when cleaning
the nozzle and heating element, always turn the power switch off and disconnect the power plug before
performing any maintenance procedure.
9.2.1 Daily maintenance
1.
Clean the solder and flux in the suction and the heater element.
2.
After cleaning the suction nozzle with the sponge, coat a new solder at its plate to protect the solder plate.
3.
The filter is expendable, and it often should be replaced to ensure the suction is normal. Pull out the hose each
side filter take out it, replace a new one (refer to the
connection
).
9.2.2 Servicing the de-soldering gun
CAUTION:
The de-soldering gun will be extremely hot. During the maintenance, please wear gloves and
work carefully.
1. Inspect and clean the nozzle.
(1) Plug in the power cord, turn the power switch on and let the nozzle heat up.
(1)
Clean out the hole of the nozzle heat up.
(2)
Check the condition of the solder plating on the tip of the nozzle. If it is slightly worn, recoat the tip
with fresh solder to prevent oxidation.
(3)
Check the condition of the surface and inside hole of the nozzle. If either is worn or eroded, or the inside
diameter seems unusually wide, replace the nozzle.
Note: The cleaning pin will not pass through the nozzle until the solder inside the nozzle is completely
melted. Please use the proper sized cleaning pin for the nozzle diameter.
CAUTION:
z
Unfortunately, it is often difficult to observe this condition. Therefore, if desoldering efficiency goes
down and all other parts run in well, the nozzle is probably eroded and should be replaced.
z
The inside hole and the surface of the nozzle is plated with a special alloy. Should this alloy become
eroded by high-temperature solder, the nozzle will not be able to maintain the proper temperature.
2. Disassemble the heating element
Remove the nut with the heat resistant pad.
The cleaning pin passes completely through the hole.
