Touch the blackened tip to the polishing
brushes to remove the oxide film.
Turn on the power switch.
Inspect the tip to see that the oxide film has been removed by the HAKKO FT-700.
Even after being cleaned by the HAKKO FT-700, a tip temperature of 400
°
C
(752
°
F
) or higher will blacken and oxidize the tip quickly unless it is re-tinned
promptly after cleaning.
The HAKKO FS-100 has more flux than typical flux cored solder. To prevent
flux residue from coming into contact with the P.W.B. after the HAKKO FS-100
is used, touch the tip to the polishing brushes of the HAKKO FT-700 to remove
any remaining residue on the tip and re-tin the tip using the solder wire
currently being used.
