SET-UP & OPERATION
WARNING: Do NOT leave the unit on full power for any long period
of time. This will greatly reduce the life of your soldering iron.
1. Remove all components from the box.
2. Install the mini-mag lamp in the hole provided in the middle of the
station.
3. Install the helping hands to each side of the unit using the provided
wrench to secure them.
4. Plug the anti-static grounding wire with alligator clip into the back
of the unit.
5. Place the soldering iron in the soldering iron holder on the top of
the left side of the unit.
6. Plug the 3-Prong AC cord into a grounded outlet to prevent electric
shock or injury.
7. Turn the power on by pressing the power switch on the bottom left
of the control module.
8. Once the power is on the LED Screen located on the front of the
control module will light up.
9. Set the desired working temperature by turning the aluminum
knob on the front of the control module. The temperature of the
soldering iron can be set anywhere from 194°F ~ 896°F/90°C
~ 480°C. The top number on the display indicates the actual
temperature of the soldering iron at any given time. The bottom
number indicates the set temperature.
10. Moving the temperature adjustment knob clockwise will raise the
temperature on the soldering iron, and rotating the temperature
adjustment knob counterclockwise will lower the soldering iron tip
temperature.
11. Moisten the sponge and place it in the sponge holding space in the
iron cradle.
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 (See page 4).
12. Wipe the tip across the moist sponge or dip the tip into the brass
sponge to remove excess solder. The tip should then be bright and
shiny.
13. The soldering iron is now ready to solder. Proceed according to
your standard working practice.
