• User manual
• Apply rosin-based solder to the part and melt it with the
soldering iron.
Note: When using non-rosin-based solder, ensure you apply
a soldering paste to the part before applying the solder.
• Wait for the solder to cool and harden
before moving the soldered part.
Note: Lightly dampen the sponge with water
before use. Before soldering, clean the tip
on the sponge and then tin the tip with fresh
solder. Do not use the sponge dry.
• When the soldering work is done, switch off the power, clean the tip and tin with
fresh solder to protect it from oxidation.
• Never le down the tips or attempt to clean using
abrasives.
• Connect the mains plug and turn on the power.
• When the trigger is pressed on the soldering gun the tip
begins to heat up. Allow a few seconds for it to reach
temperature then tin the tip with solder.
• Keep the tip cleaned and tinned regularly during use.
TIP REPLACEMENT
• Replacing the tip should only be done when the iron is switched off and at room
temperature.
• The tip can be changed or replaced by unscrewing the knurled nut from the tube.
• Caution: Damage could occur if the iron is left on without the tip inserted.
• After removing the tip, blow out any remaining oxide dust that may have formed in
the tip retaining area of the tube.
Warning: Care should be taken to avoid getting dust in your eyes.
• Replace the tip and tighten the knurled nut tube assembly with your ngers.
• Pliers should only be used to tighten the nut if loosening occurs when the iron is
hot.
• Do not over tighten the nut as the element could be damaged.
