Maintenance
- Before carrying out maintenance, always unplug the tool.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.
- Periodically check that the metal parts of the tool are clean so the station can detect the tool status.
- Maintain tip surface clean and tinned prior to storage in order to avoid tip oxidation.
Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.
- Replace any defective or damaged parts. Use original JBC spare parts only.
- Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.
It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric shock,
injury, fire or explosion.
- Do not use the soldering iron for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may
cause fire.
- The temperature of accessible surfaces may remain high after the unit is turned off. Handle with care.
- Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
- Be sure that the power supply is disconnected before changing any spare part.
- Allow cartridges to cool down before changing them.
- Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite even when not visible.
- Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
- Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.
- Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protective glasses and gloves when
working to avoid personal injury.
- Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.
