Instructions
Before use:
• Do not heat up the soldering iron
without ensuring the soldering tip
is in place
• Check the setscrew is secure
which holds the tip in place
and the tip is pushed fully into
position.
Warm up the Iron
Warm up the soldering iron
thoroughly. Make sure that it is fully
up to temperature.
Tinning the soldering tip
Before use, the soldering tip must
be tinned. “Tinning” is the process
of coating the soldering tip with a
thin coat of solder. This aids in heat
transfer between the tip and the
component you are soldering, and
also helps the solder to flow.
Thoroughly coat the tip in solder
Any part of the tip left uncovered
may tend to collect flux residue and
may not conduct heat properly.
