Very effective cleaning
method. It leaves a small layer
of solder on the tip to prevent
oxidation between cleaning
and rewetting.
It reduces splashing
of solder particles
when using the brass
wool. No need to hold the
base while cleaning
tips
The least harmful cleaning
method. Keep the sponge damp
with distilled water when working
to avoid tip wear.
A temperature resistant receptacle lets
the operator remove excess solder by
gentle tapping or wiping. It can be easily
removed for cleaning.
Tapping: Wiping:
Tap gently to remove
excess solder.
Use the slots to
remove remaining
particles.

Changing Cartridges
1. Removing 2. Inserting 3. Fixing
Place the handpiece in the
extractor and pull to
remove the cartridge.
Insert the handle on top
of the new cartridge and
press down slightly.
Use the holes for fixing the
cartridge* as follows:
A. For straight C210.
B. For curved C210.
C. For curved C245.
D. For straight C245.
*Important
It is essential to insert the cartridges as far as the mark for a proper connection.

Operation
The JBC Exclusive Heating System
1. Work 2. Sleep
When the tool is lifted from the
stand the tip will heat up to the
selected temperature.
When the tool is in the stand,
the temperature reduces to
180ºC / 360ºF (preset sleep
temperature).
After longer periods of
inactivity (pre-set to 30 min.),
the power is cut and the
tool cools down to room
temperature.

· Fix one temperature
· Change Sleep temperature
· Set Sleep delay
(from 0 to 9 min or no Sleep)
· Set Hibernation delay
(from 0 to 60 min or no
hibernation)
Long time in
the stand
Our revolutionary technology is able to recover tip temperature extremely quickly. It means the user
can work at a lower temperature and improve the quality of soldering. The tip temperature is further
reduced thanks to the Sleep and Hibernation modes which increase the tip life by 5.

Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment to cool and unplug the
stand from the station and the tool.
- Clean the station screen with a glass cleaner
or a damp cloth.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the casing, the stand
and the tool. Alcohol can only be used for cleaning
the metal parts.
- Periodically check 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 cable connections.
- Replace a blown fuse as follows:
1. Remove the fuse by pulling the black cap.
If necessary use a tool to lever it off.
2. Press the new fuse into the holder and
replace it in the station.
Maintenance
Fuse
- 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 equipment 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 unplugging 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.
