1. Before each use, inspect the general
condition of the tool.
Check for:
• Loose hardware
• Misalignment or binding of moving parts
• Damaged cord/electrical wiring
• Cracked or broken parts
• Any other condition that may affect its safe
operation.
2. After use, heat up the soldering tip again and
apply a small amount of rosin-core solder
to coat the tip. Wipe off with a rag. This will
leave the tip clean and ready for use.
3. If the soldering tip cracks or becomes eroded,
it needs to be replaced:
A. Using wrench, loosen the soldering tip
nutsby turning counter clockwise.
B. Pull the old soldering tip out of the
transformer assembly mounting posts.
C. Slide the ends of the new soldering
tip into the mounting posts of the
transformer assembly.
D. Carefully tighten the nuts over the
mounting posts by turning clockwise
Make sure that the nuts fit squarely
over threads or damage will occur to
the mounting post threads. Do not
overtighten.
4. To replace the light bulb:
A. Remove the light bulb lens from the
front of the soldering gun.
B. Pull out the burnt light bulb and
replace with a new one of the same
voltage and type. See specifications on
Page 3.
C. Replace the light bulb lens.
WARNING! If the supply cord of this power
tool is damaged, it must be replaced only by
a qualified service technician.

6. Brush on solder flux, as needed, to the
workpiece. Place the Soldering Tip to the
joint, wiring splice, or metal to be soldered.
7. Apply solder to the wire splice or metal to
be soldered, not the Soldering Tip. When
the splice or metal is hot enough, it will
melt the solder causing it to flow within
the splice or between the metal surfaces.
8. When the solder has flowed over the en-
tire wire splice or metal surface, remove
the Soldering Tip and release the Trigger.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool
and unplug it after use. Clean, then store
the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
