Desoldering process
When desoldering, use a tip with a diameter larger than the pad being desoldered. This will achieve
maximum suction and thermal efficiency.
The vacuum pump will continue to run for a few seconds. This makes sure that the vacuum
circuit is completely empty. If there are any solder remains left on a terminal, just resolder it
with fresh solder and repeat the desoldering operation.

Place the tip so that it
fits over the component
terminal.
When the solder liquefies,
gently rotate the tip so
that the component
terminal can be lifted off.
Press the vacuum pump
button long enough to
remove the solder.

Changing Tips
1. To remove the tip, use a pair of flat-nosed
pliers, twist the tip and pull.
2. To fasten the tip, do not hold it on the spring
clamp. Place the pliers directly in front of the
spring.
Note: This operation should be done while the tip is hot and at a minimum temperature of
250°C, so that any tin left inside is still molten.
Cleaning Tips
The tip hole should be periodically cleaned.
Note: Let the tool cool down before
performing this operation.
Choose the cleaning rod diameter according to
the tip size. Put the rod at the tip, gently move it
back and forth while turning it slightly.
Tip Care
To prevent tip oxidation cover tip with solder tin when not in use. Note: Do not press the vacuum
pump button while tinning the desoldering tip, as the fumes given off by the flux would quickly block
the ducts and the air filter.
Compatible Tips
DS360 uses C360 tips. Different sizes are
available for through-hole desoldering and for
pad cleaning. Find the model that best suits

Maintenance
Before carrying out maintenance, always switch the device off and disconnect it from the mains. Allow
the equipment to cool down.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.
- Periodically check that the metal parts of the tool and stand are clean so that the station can detect
the tool status.
- Maintain tip surface clean and tinned prior to storage in order to avoid tip oxidation.
Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.
- Periodically check all cables and tubes.
- Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only.
- Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.

It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to protect health and prevent electric
shock, injury, fire or explosions.
Safety
- Do not use the tool for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause fire.
- Do not work on electrically live parts.
- The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode. The
soldering tip or nozzle, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot even when the station
is turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the stand position.
- Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
- It is necessary to turn the station off before changing tips.
- Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite even when out of sight.
- Be careful with the remains of liquid tin. Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent
irritation.
- Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.
- Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.
- Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when working
to avoid personal harm.
- This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight as well as persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lacking of experience provided that they have been given adequate
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved.
Children must not play with the appliance.
- Maintenance must not be carried out by children unless supervised.
