STARTING
Assemble soldering iron stand. Place the soldering iron in the stand. Insert the soldering iron plug into the receptacle (6) of
the control unit and lock by turning to the right. Check that the power supply corresponds to the specifications on the
nameplate and that the power switch (1) is in the OFF position. Connect the control unit to the power supply. Set the
temperature at the rotary potentiometer (3). Switch on unit at the supply switch (1). Red LED (2) will illuminate. This LED
functions as the optical regulator. Constant illumination means that the system is overheating. The blinking LED signals
that the operating temperature has been reached.
MAINTENANCE
The transition between the heating element/sensor and the tip of the soldering iron may not come in contact with dirt,
foreign particles or become damaged, since this affects the precision of the temperature control.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
For initial heating, coat the selective tinnable tip with solder. This removes any oxidation or dirt on the tip, which may
have occurred during storage. During pauses between soldering and before storing the soldering iron, ensure that the tip
of the soldering iron is well coated. Do not use aggressive fluxing agents.
NOTE: Always ensure the proper position of the soldering iron tip. When removing the tip (HOLD TIP
DOWN)!
These soldering irons have been adjusted for an average-size tip. Temperature deviations can occur due to exchanging
of the tip style or using other tip designs.
