REPLACING THE HEATING ELEMENT:
1. Allow the soldering iron to cool down to room temperature. Never
attempt to remove the tip while the iron is hot.
2. Remove the tip (reference above instructions) but remove both
screws on either side of the tip this time.
3. Remove the screw located directly above the LED and slide the blue
shaft down to reveal the iron’s control board.
4. De-solder the 2 wires that have heat shielding on them from the
circuit board and pull the tip out from the end of the soldering iron.
5. Insert the new heating element and reverse the above listed
instructions.
6. Plug the AC cord back into a grounded Outlet.
NOTE: The wires on the heating element can be soldered back onto the
board on either solder pad as there is no polarity for the element.
SOLDERING TIPS PREPARATION & CARE
1. Keep the soldering tip properly tinned. Always use solder with
sufficient rosin flux or the tip will de-wet. A well tinned tip will be bright
all over when hot, with no dull or discolored spots.
2. To tin the iron, do the following:
a. Plug in the iron and allow it to reach solder melt temperature.
b. Flood the tip with solder and let it stand for one minute.
c. Apply more solder to the tip, allow it to idle for one or two more
minutes, wipe it lightly on the sponge. Do not remove all of the
solder, but use the sponge to remove excess solder and wipe
solder onto non-tinned areas.
3. Do not file or attempt to reshape the tip. This will destroy the plating
and shorten tip life. Do not use chloride and acid fluxes; they will also
shorten tip and heater life.
4. For maximum tip life, always apply solder to the heated connections
or joints. Repeated application of solder directly to the tip will
shorten the tip life.
WARNING: Do NOT use anti-seize or any other lubricant on the tip
retainer or heater of the soldering iron.
