Tip Cleaning System
Tapping:
Tap gently to remove the excess of
solder.
Sponge
Ref. S0354
The least harmful cleaning method. Keep the sponge
damp with distilled water when working to avoid tip
wear.
Brass Wool
Ref. CL6210
Very effective cleaning method. Leaves a small layer
of solder on the tip preventing oxidation between
cleaning and rewetting.
Select the option that best suits your tip cleaning needs.
More options for the splashguard (not supplied):
Inox Wool
Ref. CL6205
Provides a superior
cleaning on the tip.
Metal Brush
Ref. CL6220
When used carefully,
it provides a more
thorough cleaning.

Compatible cartridges
The CD stations can use both the C245 and the C210 cartridges only with the appropriate handpiece:
T245/T470 or T210. Find the model that best suits your soldering needs in www.jbctools.com
Save time and change cartridges safely without switching the station off.
*Important: It is essential to insert the cartridges as far as the mark for a correct connection.

Operation
The JBC Exclusive Heating System
This revolutionary technology is able to recover the tip temperature extremely quickly.
This allows the user to work at a lower temperature.
As a result, the tip life increases x5 times.
1. Work
Lift tool from the stand and
the tool tip will heat up to the
selected temperature.
2. Sleep
When the tool is in the stand,
the temperature reduces to
180ºC / 360ºF (preset sleep
temperature).

Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment to cool.
- Clean the station’s screen with a glass cleaner
or a damp cloth.
Remove the fuse by pulling the black cap.
If necessary use a tool to lever it off.
Press the new fuse into the holder and
replace it in the station.
Clean
periodically
- Use a damp cloth to clean the casing and
the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean
the metal parts.
- Check periodically that the metal parts of
the tool/stand are clean so that the station
can detect when the tool is in the stand.
- 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
connections.
Maintenance
- Replace the fuse if it is blown according to the following guidelines:
- 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 prevent electric
shock, injury, fire or explosion.
- Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause
fire.
- The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Be sure that it is properly grounded
before use. When removing it, hold the plug, not the wire.
- Do not work on electrically live parts. Antistatic handle of soldering irons is electrically
conductive.
- The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode.
The soldering tip, 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.
- Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite even when
out of sight.
- Use a “non residue” classified flux and avoid contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
- 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.
- Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.
- This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight and also persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack 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 shall not be carried out by
children unless supervised.
