4.
Wiping the tip on a high sulfur content, dirty or dry sponge.
5.
Contact with organic substances such as plastic, resin, silicone, grease and other
chemicals.
6.
Impurities in the solder and/or low tin content.
CARE OF TIPS
CAUTION
: The soldering, desoldering irons can reach very high temperature. Be sure to
turn the unit off prior to carrying out any maintenance or trouble shooting steps listed
below!
IMPORATNT:
Remove the tip and clean after each moderate to heavy use or daily for light usage. Remove
any loose build up in the tip retaining assembly to prevent tip freezing.
Both solder, desolder tips supplied are iron clad copper and if used properly should
maintain optimum life.
1. Always tin the tip before returning it to the holder, turning off the station, or storing it
for long periods of time. Wipe the tip on a brass cleaner prior to use.
2. Keeping the iron set at high temperatures (more than 400
℃
or 750
℉
) will shorten tip
life.
3. Do not use excessive pressure on the tip or rub the joint with the tip while soldering
and/or desoldering; it does not improve the heat transfer and may damage the tip.
4.
Apply solder to the joint, not the tip when soldering. The flux is naturally caustic and
thus will eat away the tip.
5.
Never clean the tip with a file or abrasive materials.
6.
Do not use fluxes which contain chloride or acid. Use only rosin or resin activated
fluxes.
7.
If an oxide film forms, it can be removed by careful buffing with 600-800 grit emery
cloth, isopropyl alcohol or equivalent and then the tinned areas with rosin-core solder
after the resin-core has melted.
NEW TIPS
Applying the following steps give the tip optimum life.
1.
Set both temperature to min. then turn the main power switch to the “ON” position.
2.
Set soldering tip temperature to 250
℃
(500
℉
approx.) and desoldering tip
temperature to min. Coat the tinned surfaces with rosin-core solder after reaching 250
℃
.
3.
Set to the desired temperature about 3 minutes after being warmed that the station will
be ready for sue once it reaches preset temperature.
IMPORTANT: Remove and clean the tip daily. If a new tip is installed, remove any loose
build up in the barrel assembly, otherwise the tip may fuse to the heating element or
retaining barrel.
METHOD TO CHECK FOR LOSS OF SUCTION
The following procedures should be used on LF-8800 to check whether loss of suction is
