OPERATION
1. Set the desired working temperature by turning the aluminum knob
on the front of the control module. The front of the knob has a tick
mark indicator to show the selected setting. The temperature of the
soldering iron can be set anywhere from 392°F ~ 896°F/200°C ~
480°C.
2. Moving the temperature control potentiometer clockwise will raise
the temperature on the soldering iron, and rotating the temperature
control potentiometer counterclockwise will lower the soldering iron
tip temperature.
3. Moisten the sponge and place it in the sponge holding space in the
iron cradle.
4. IMPORTANT:
Remove the iron from the cradle and flood the tip with
a good quality rosin core solder-preferably 63/37 or 60/40 grade
solder.
5. Wipe the tip across the moist sponge or dip the iron into the brass
sponge to remove excess solder. The tip should then be bright and
shiny.
6. The soldering iron is now ready to solder.
MAINTENANCE
*** WARNING: PLEASE DISCONNECT POWER CORD BEFORE
REPLACING A SOLDERING TIP AND/OR A HEATING ELEMENT! ***
IMPORTANT
:
Do NOT put excess pressure on the tip. It can damage the element.
REPLACING THE TIP:
1. Turn off the soldering station, unplug the power cord from the
power source and allow the soldering iron to cool down to room
temperature.
Never attempt to remove the tip while the iron is
hot.
2. Loosen the larger tip retaining screw on the side of the soldering
iron’s metal shaft.
3. Remove the tip by sliding it forward.
4. Slide a new tip into the heater - the end of the tip should stick out
approximately 1.5 inches.
5. Tighten the tip retaining screw to secure the tip into place. Do not
over tighten the tip retaining screw
6. Plug the soldering iron AC cord into a grounded outlet to resume
soldering.
