4. PART NAMES
5. OPERATION
CAUTION
The temperature of the nozzle end differs depending on the type of
nozzles.
Calibrate the nozzle temperature by adjusting the CAL to ensure
optimal performance.
(1) Preparation
1. Insert the plug of the power cord into an outlet.
2. Turn the power switch ON.
3. Wait for about 1 minute until the nozzle will melt solder, then apply a generous coating of
your solder to the end of the nozzle.
When the iron temperature reaches the set temperature, the LED lamp will flash.

CAUTION
• If the pump does not operate, immediately clean
the nozzle & heating element and replace the filter
if necessary.
• Do not remove the pump cover during use.
1. Place the nozzle over the lead wire of the part to be
desoldered and begin heating.
Be careful to heat the lead wire and the solder, not the
land. Placing the nozzle directly in contact with the
land may cause the land to peel off. You may apply a
small amount of solder to form a heat bridge to help the
heating process.
2. Check to make sure all of the solder on the joint has
melted.
With the nozzle still in place over the lead wire, slowly
move the lead wire, being careful not to apply too much
force. If the lead wire moves easily, all of the solder has
melted.
3. Pull the trigger to remove the melted solder.
Make sure that a filter has been inserted in the
desoldering tool. Desoldering without a filter may
damage the pump.
4. If the solder was not removed, re-solder the part using
new solder and then repeat the desoldering process.
