2. Precaution
Too high or too low voltage may cause machine work properly, or damage
machine’s electrical control system;
Please do not disassemble, because it can lead to electric shock or poor heat
insulation;
Must use the power cord attached to the machine, the power cord that is
not up to the rated power requirements may cause overheat, even cause
fire;
Keep the machine away from flammable and explosive goods;
Keep the machine clean and ventilated, especially in the back of the
machine, keep at least 20cm of space, to ensure good heat dissipation and
welding effect;
The waste gas from the chimney needs to be collected and processed when
machine running, direct discharge may cause damage to the body, and
cause pollution to the environment;
The waste gas discharged from the chimney and the chimney itself has a
high temperature, rush contact has a risk of being scalded;
Pay attention to prevent waste heat of the drawer when operating.

6.6. Reflow Curve
The parameters editing of reflowing curve is introduced above, the figure below
shows a complete reflowing curve.

It is very important that a suitable reflowing curve is a guarantee of good
welding quality. However, Adjust reflowing curve will become very simple as long
as you have got the right method. The method is generally divided into the
following three steps.
Check the reference manual of solder paste, set the initial curve according to
the instructions in the manual;
Adjust the curve according to the maximum acceptable temperature of the
components, so as to prevent damage to the components in welding process
by high temperature;
Take actual welding test, and adjust curve according to the welding effect.
The function of each section and the points for attention of reflowing curve are
introduced below, in addition, a detailed description can be found in the manual of
solder paste.
PreHt: Preheating section, used for rapid heating, heat the circuit board to
the temperature of solder paste to start work, the target temperature of this
section should not be set too high, and heating time not too long.
Temperature too high or time too long is the main reason of solder paste
collapse, tiny balls around the pads, solder sticking together;
Heat: Heating section, this section mainly makes the temperature to the
same on circuit board, and the flux in solder paste begins to work at the
same time. The temperature rise rate of this section is smaller than the
previous, and the curve looks slower too, but if the temperature is too high

or time is too long, will cause flux volatile prematurely, and then lead to
oxidation and poor wetting;
Ref: Reflowing section, this section is mainly used to melt the solder paste,
it’s a key step in welding, temperature rise rate is greater than the previous,
too high temperature and too long time will lead to oxidation and impact of
components on circuit board;
RefKp: Reflowing keep section, used to set the time to maintain the
maximum temperature for full of flux volatile and solder flow;
Cool: Cooling section, mainly used to reduce the temperature of the circuit
board smoothly, solder will be re-solidified in this process, it is worth
mentioning that the cooling process also has a great impact on the welding
effect, too fast or too slow cooling process will produce pale and lightless
solder beads, what is worse, there may be potential defects;
Melt: Melting point, in fact, the solder paste has strict requirements on time
that the temperature above the melting point.
6.7. Run Page
Select ‘Run’ at the menu page to enter page as below, the buzzer will give out a

Buzzer will long sound interval after completion, machine will stop running and
go back to menu page automatically until the temperature drops below the cooling
temperature. Of course, user can also end this running directly by press return
button.
Note, the stainless steel will absorb heat in cold start, and lead to temperature
rise slow, so it is suggested that running one time without load for preheating
before production. On the other hand, it appears that running has been completed
but the temperature has not been completely down. Even so, the two cases are
occurred below the temperature of solder paste working due to the careful design,
therefore, it will not affect the effect of welding.
7. Preset Curve
Two sets of curves have been preset to facilitate users to setup, No. 1~4 are
lead curves, No. 5~8 are lead-free curves, users have to adjust them according to
the actual needs, parameters are listed as below for reference.
