To start the soldering iron heating, just lift the soldering iron from the rack to start the machine and start
heating.
3. Set Celsius °C or Fahrenheit °F to display the temperature:
Press SET and then press to convert to °C or °F to display the temperature.
Working Temperature
If you are manufacturing to RoHS requirements, the 60/40 solder alloys are not allowed in the production
process. For lead free solder alloys, a working temperature of 30° higher than leaded electrical soldering is
required. The working temperature of lead-free solder is detailed below, but can vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer.
• Melting point 227°
• Normal operation 300-360°
• Production line operation 360-410°
When the iron’s working temperature is set within the parameters suitable for the type of solder being used,
a good joint is assured. Too low a temperature will slow the rate of solder flow while a high temperature
setting might burn the flux in the solder and emit a heavy white smoke resulting in a dry joint or permanent
damage to the printed circuit board (P.C.B). This may also shorten the tip life.
IMPORTANT:
The temperature above 410°C is not recommended for normal soldering functions, but can be
used for short periods of time when high temperatures are required. Please note that the lead free solder
alloys require a higher soldering temperature which shortens tip life.
Operating Instructions
Ensure that the mains input voltage is between 220-240V before beginning use. Check carefully for any
damage during transportation.
This unit contains:
1. Solder handle.
2. Iron holder with brass tip cleaner.
3. AC power cord with plug.
CAUTION:
REMEMBER, THE TIP IS HOT. The tip and barrel of the solder handle will cause serious burns if
they are allowed to contact the skin. Always return the solder handle to the safety holder after each use.
Soldering irons operate at high temperatures and can easily burn people or objects. Do not touch the tip
and heater at any time and keep it a safe distance from flammable materials while the unit is on or while it’s
cooling. Please allow a sufficient time for the unit to cool before changing tips or handles!
DO NOT WORK ON LIVE CIRCUITS.
Before working on any mains powered equipment, make sure that it is
turned off, and the mains plug is removed from the power point.
DO NOT USE IF DAMAGED.
If the power lead becomes damaged or the soldering station becomes faulty,
discontinue use immediately.
