Preparing the Soldering Tip
1. Using a screwdriver, check that the Soldering Tip Nuts are not loose.
Do not overtighten as you may strip the threads.
2.
Set the Soldering Gun on the workbench, and plug the Line Cord into an electrical
outlet.
3.
Press on the Trigger Switch until the Soldering Tip heats up.
4.
Apply a sufficient amount of rosin-core solder to melt over the entire tip of the
Soldering Gun.
Preparing the Metal to be Soldered
1.
If wires are to be soldered, thoroughly clean or scrape the wires so that only the
clean copper is showing. Carefully splice the wires to prepare for solder.
2.
If other metals are to be soldered, thoroughly clean or scrape the metal surfaces. It
may be necessary to apply acid flux (not supplied) to those metal surfaces before
soldering.
Soldering
1.
Press on the Trigger Switch until the Soldering Tip heats up.
2.
Brush on solder flux, as needed, to the workpiece. Place the Soldering Tip to the
joint, wiring splice, or metal to be soldered.
3.
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.
4.
When the solder has flowed over the entire wire splice or metal surface, remove the
Soldering Tip and release the Trigger Switch.
If you are new to soldering, you may find it helpful to practice soldering first on scrap
wires and splices.
