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. Attach the solder roll holder to the left side of the unit with the
screws provided in the main unit.
3. Place the soldering iron in the soldering iron holder.
4. Plug the 3-Prong AC cord into a grounded outlet to prevent electric
shock or injury.
5. Turn the power on using the power switch on the front of the
control module.
6. Once the power is on the White LED Screen located on the front of
the control module will light up.
7. Set the desired working temperature by pressing temperature
adjustment buttons on the front of the control module. The
temperature of the soldering iron can be set anywhere from 392°F
~ 842°F/200°C ~ 450°C.
8. Moisten the sponge and place it in the sponge holding space in the
main unit.
9. 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).
10. 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 if it is tinned properly.
11. The soldering iron is now ready to solder. Proceed according to
your standard working practice.
WARNING: Do NOT leave the unit on full power for any long period
of time. This will greatly reduce the life of the soldering iron,
soldering tip, and heating element.
