WARNING:
DO NOT HIT OR TAP THE SOLDERING TOOL. THE HEATER ELEMENT WILL BREAK!!!
CAUTION:
Over-lling can cause thermal shock
to the tip or heating element during
tip cleaning.
• Replace RS199 Cleaning Sponge
1. Fill water only up to the top of the RS243
Leveling Pad.
2. Depress RS199 to moisten it completely.
• Replace SC581 Solder Collector
1. Hold the Housing rm and turn Cap
counter-clockwise and pull it away from the
Housing.

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
1. Turn on power and set Temperature Control Knob to 400°F (205°C).
2. Using a clean and well tinned Tip, apply a small amount of solder on the Tip, just enough
to form a bead on top of the Tip.
3. Place the center of the thermocouple wire of the SDS100 on top of the bead.
4. Again, apply a small amount of solder on the center of the thermo-couple wire, just enough
to embed the center.
5. Adjust LO-Temp. Calibration Pot so the Meter will read 400°F (205°C).
6. Set Temperature Control Knob to 800°F (427°C).
7. Adjust Hi-Temp. Calibration Pot so the Meter will read 800°F (427°C).
TIP CARE
1. Set desired temperature. Blinking Neon Lamp means Tool is ready.
2. TIN the Tip. (apply solder)
3. Do not rub, bend or reshape the Tip.
4. Always clean the Tip by wiping it against the saturated sponge and always RE-TIN.
TIP CLEANING
To maintain proper Tip to Ground resistance.
1. Remove Tip from Heater Assembly.
2. Using a ST707 Soldering Tool Maintenance Brush, clean Tip and Heater Barrel
at surfaces shown.
3. Install the tip and tighten RS372 Retaining Sleeve. Take note of the gap to ensure
proper tting.
