Iron tips maintenance
1.Please put appropriate tin on the adhering head of iron tip before powering off ,and please
clean it before soldering.
2.Do not allow the iron tip to stay at high temperature for a long time to avoid dry burning.
3.In welding, do not rub the soldering tip with too much pressure to friction the solder,
which will damage the iron head.
54.Never clean iron head with a rough material or file..If the surface is oxided and does not
absorb tin, you can use fine sanding paper (600-800).
Sand it carefully and use isopropyl alcohol or equivalent solution to clean, heat to
200℃immediately adhering tin to prevent sticking tin and then oxidation.
6.Do not use chlorine or high acid soldering flux. Only use of synthetic resin or activated
resin flux.
7.The working temperature of the soldering iron tip is about 300℃ ℃ to 380 , and the
working temperature should not exceed 450℃in a short time. Otherwise it will affect the
working life of the soldering iron tip!
8.Different welding scenes should be selected with different soldering iron tip. Large
welding spot or aluminum base plates will need to be touched to large soldering iron tip
(such as C4). Small welding spot can be usedC1, JL02, ILS, etc.
9.The new soldering tip is used for the first time, the heat up may be slightly slower, and
it can melt tin 7 seconds after the normal use of 1-3 hours.

FAQ
FAQ：
1. Why the temperature of the new T12 solder tip is jump?
Because the inside heating core of the new T12 solder tip did not go through the high
temperature, so the first time to use will be a bit of temperature, generally without special
treatment, the normal use of 1-2 days after the basic will not bounce. Such as the need to
immediately effective, the general proposal to adjust the temperature to 380℃ ℃ -400
, side of the solder tip to the tip of tin, burning 5-10 minutes after the shutdown,
until the solder tip of the cooling and then re-boot! ( if 1 times no effect, then can be
repeated 2-3 times). T12 is pulsating temperature warming, even if the display temperature
is flashing, the tip of the real temperature is completely stable.
T12 jump temperature also are connected with the temperature control board
of procedures, power of electrostatic and if it connect the ground. 2. What the
problem of attention when we use the T12 first time?
T12 tip heating speed is very fast, when the new solder tip connect the electricity, it
must be tinput immediately to the solder tip, for protection, due to heating up fast, just
need 6-10 seconds, no have more time to you for preparetion. so the important is
prepare the items which will be welded, and finally boot power, and each welding gap or
the end, should be more on the tin to protect and then shutdown, so it can avoid to tin the
new sold tip is difficult, especially the T12 tip type of iron, such as T12-I / T12-IL / T12-BL
/ T12-ILS and so on!
3.What are the precautions for using the T12 tip?
a. If can use low temperature, then do not high temperature: T12 is constant temperature
control, the general recommended working temperature control between 300℃ ℃ ~ 380
, higher than 380℃damage the coating of solder tip and cut down the PTC
life!
b. Do not dry: the first time to use solder tip, should be wrapped while heating a layer of
tin. If it's without work, at once shutdown!
c. Diligent to clean: before shutting down, use a wet sponge or detin the ball to remove the

tip of the oxidation of debris, on the tin after the shutdown power off!
d. Standard operation: Do not violent collision the solder tip, do not stamp the top of the
hard objects, but can not be used to hot plastic and other materials, specifically reminded
that friends like tin should avoid the iron and other hard metal knock tin, the heating core of
T12 is in the head of the solder tip, often percussion is a fatal damage to T12!
e. Less use of scaling powder: scaling powder can not be used, can be used as less as
possible! When scaling powder help make beautiful and reliable welding at the same time,
but also greatly speed up the consumption the coating of the solder tip, T12 heating core
high temperature position is very near of the Nozzle tip of the solder tip,Scaling powder in
the fear of threat to T12 head pressing parts.
4.How to do when T12 tip does not absorb tin?
T12 iron head does not absorb tin, generally there are two reasons:
A. The head of solder tip is severe oxidation can not absorb tin.
B.Temperature can not rise up then can not tin.
C.The head is oxidized and can not the tin, you can use the soldering iron to clean the ball
gently, then use the wet sponge rub and then heat the tin.
