Thanks to the user-friendliness and the short soldering times this soldering station
makes for carefree soldering. But please be careful! In order to ensure safe use and
protect against damage, you should heed the safety instructions and the warning
notices as well as the legal VDE regulations when soldering.
Setting the Temperature
To save a pre-set temperature, set the temperature with / , press SAVE and then
the pre-set number. When the storage is successful, there will be a above the pre-set
number on the display.
Adjusting a Pre-Set
To adjust the pre-set temperature, select the pre-set temperature and simultaneously
press SET and 1. Adjust the value with / and press ENTER to confirm.
Setting the Stand-By Time
Simultaneously press SET and 2. The blue number in the lower right corner starts to
flash. Adjust the value with / from 0 to 999 seconds. Press ENTER to confirm.
The stand-by time starts as soon as the iron is placed in its holder. To start soldering,

Care and Maintenance
6.1
Tip Maintenance
The soldering uses extremely high temperatures. Make sure that the unit is switched off
for maintenance purposes.
Remove the tip and clean it after heavy or moderate use. We recommend cleaning the
tip daily if the station is used frequently.
•
Always tin the tip before returning it to the holder, prior to turning off the station or
to storing it for long periods of time. Wipe the tip on a wet sponge or use our tip
cleaner before activating the device.
•
Using excessive temperatures (more than 400 °C or 750 °F) will shorten the life
span of the tip.
•
Do not exercise excessive pressure on the tip while soldering, as this may cause
damage to the tip.
•
Never clean the tip with a file or with abrasive materials.
•
Do not use flux containing chloride or acid. Use only resinous fluxes.
•
If an oxide film has formed, you should remove it by buffing carefully with a 600-
800 grit emery cloth or by using isopropyl alcohol and consequently applying a new
protective layer of solder.
•
Set the desired temperature after allowing the unit to idle at 250 °C for three
minutes. The station will be ready for use once the set temperature is reached.
•
Wet the sponge with nothing but water.
Remove and clean the tip daily. Remove excess solder from the barrel nut assembly
when installing a new tip.
