INSERTING/REPLACING THE SOLDERING TIP:
CAUTION! RISK OF BURNS!
Never heat the soldering iron without a soldering tip .
- The soldering tip may only be removed when the appliance is switched off and the soldering tip is cooled
down.
- The soldering tip has a screw thread and can thus be removed quickly from the soldering iron.
- Unscrew the soldering tip anticlockwise.
-Screw the soldering tip in clockwise.
- Before use remove the protective cap from the soldering tip.
- Before using the soldering station for the first time and also before using a new soldering tip, the
soldering tip must be tinned.
Procedure:
-
Plug the mains plug into a wall socket and press the ON/OFF switch to position “I”.
- Set the temperature control to level 3 and wait until the appliance has heated up. Allow a little bit of
solder to melt into a thin film on the soldering tip.

SWITCHING ON/OFF AND SETTING THE TEMPERATURE:
Switching on:
- Plug the mains plug into an appropriate wall socket and press the
ON/OFF switch to position “I”.
- Turn the temperature control to set the desired temperature.
- The prerequisite for perfect soldering is to use appropriate solder. Furthermore, it is not possible to make
perfect soldered joints unless the correct soldering temperature is used. If the soldering
temperature is too low, the solder is not sufficiently fluid and causes dirty solder joints (so-called cold
solder joints). If the soldering temperature is too high, the soldering agent can burn and the solder does
not flow. In addition, the materials to be processed can be destroyed.
Setting the temperature:
Level 1 = approx. 100°C
Warm-up level and for solders with correspondingly low melting point
Level 2 = approx. 200°C
Melting point of the most frequently used soft solders
Level 2 = approx. 200°C
Normal operation, e.g. when using lead-free solder
Level 2 = approx. 200°C
High soldering temperature, e.g. for de-soldering small solder joints
Level 2 = approx. 200°C
Maximum soldering temperature, e.g. for de-soldering larger solder joints
Switching off:
- After use, always replace the soldering iron in the coil spring.
-
Move the ON/OFF switch into the “0” position.
- Always remove the plug from the socket when not in use.
SOLDERING SPONGE:
NOTICE!
The hot soldering tip must never come into contact with a dry soldering sponge . Otherwise, the
soldering sponge can be damaged.
- The soldering sponge is used to clean the soldering tip.
- Dampen the soldering sponge before use.
SOLDERING:
Vapours can lead to headaches and fatigue if inhaled.
- The soldering iron has a rated power output of 48 watts and is ideal for electronic solders.
- Its design makes it especially suitable for difficult-to-access and fine soldering work.
