INITIAL SET-UP
1. Open the package and check that all parts are present and are
not damaged. If anything is missing or damaged, please contact
X-Tronic immediately for assistance (see back cover for contact
information).
2. Place the soldering cord extension holder in the bracket on the
right hand side of the soldering iron holder (see #1 in drawing
above).
3. Plug the soldering iron into the back of the unit and place the
soldering iron in the soldering iron holder (see #2 in drawing
above). Secure the core in the extension holder (optional).
4. The brass sponge is in the silicone opening right below the
soldering iron (see #3 in drawing above).
5. Wet the blue sponge and place in the space at the base of the
soldering iron holder (see #4 in drawing above).
6. Plug the 3-prong AC cord into a grounded outlet to prevent electric

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the soldering iron in the holder.
2. Turn the unit on with the power switch on the back of the unit.
3. Set the desired temperature using the TEMP UP and DOWN
buttons on the right side of the unit or by pressing one of the
Preset Memory Channels. This temperature will show in the lower
left corner of the display.
4. Wait for the unit to stabilize at the desired temperature. The actual
temperature of the heating element/soldering tip is displayed on
the top of the display. See page 2 for a detailed diagram of the
display screen.
5. Remove the iron from the holder and flood the tip with a good
quality rosin core solder-preferably 63/37 or 60/40 grade solder.
6. Wipe the tip across the moist sponge or dip the iron into the brass
sponge to remove excess solder. The tip should then be shiny.
7. The soldering iron is now ready to solder. Proceed according to
your standard working practice.
