tion and warranty coverage.
8.1
Important care work
•
Make sure that the desoldering tip is always tin-plated.
•
Wipe the desoldering tip, if necessary, before desoldering to remove
flux material and solder residues with the dry cleaner or a damp
sponge.
•
Tin-plate the tip again before desoldering; this improves heat transfer
and reduces desoldering time.
•
Now and then clean the soldering duct using the included tip cleaner.
This tool can loosen and remove flux material and solder residues.
•
Change the filter in good time.
• Now and then use a new silicone holder, making sure it is made of
high quality silicone. Due to temperature load, materials age and
sealability is reduced.
•
Make sure that ventilation openings do not become ineffective due to
dust deposits.
8.2
