Product Description
This combination 60W soldering iron and 90W vacuum de-soldering station provides enthusiasts and tech-
nicians with everything they need for soldering on the workbench in one compact unit. On the de-soldering
side, a powerful vacuum pump de-solders through-hole parts quickly and efficiently. Simply place the tip over
the solder join and hold down the trigger, the molten solder is sucked off the board and into a canister in the
handle for disposal.
The temperature of the iron is electronically controlled and utilises a ceramic heater to rapidly reach its oper-
ating temperature in just 20 seconds. The iron includes a burn resistant rubber lead and ergonomic ‘pencil’
design to ensure your comfort and safety. The easy to read white backlit display on each unit provides a useful
indication of set temperature and heater temperature. The soldering iron and de-soldering gun units can be
switched on/off individually. Included with the station are the following; a 0.2mm fine point soldering tip and
also 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5mm de-soldering tips.
Control Unit: The soldering iron and the de-soldering gun tool are controlled automatically by two micro-pro-
cessors. The digital control electronics and high-quality sensor and heat exchange system guarantee precise
temperature control at the soldering tip. The highest degree of temperature precision and optimal dynamic
thermal behaviour under load conditions, is obtained by the quick and accurate recording of the measured
values in a closed control circuit. This design is especially used for lead-free production techniques.
Soldering Iron: The soldering iron, with a power of 60W (Heat up rating 130W) and a wide spectrum of solder-
ing tips, can be used anywhere in the electronics field. The high power and slim design make this iron suitable
for fine soldering work. The heating element is made of PTC and the sensor on the soldering tip can control the
soldering temperature quickly and accurately.
De-soldering gun: De-soldering iron gun, with a power of 90W (Heat up rating 200W) and a wide spectrum
of soldering tips, can be used anywhere in the electronics field. The high power and gun type design makes
this iron gun suitable for fine de-soldering work. The heating element is made of PTC and the sensor on the
de-soldering tip can control the de-soldering temperature quickly and accurately.

Digital Display
1. Tip Temperature
2. Setting Temperature. By pressing the “UP” or “DOWN” button a user can switch the digital display to the
set point display. The set-point can be changed in steps of ±1°C by tapping the “UP” or “DOWN” button.
Holding the button will change the set-point quickly. The digital display will return automatically to the
actual value and the tip will reach the setting temperature quickly.
3. C°/ F° Display. Switch the temperature display from C° to F° by pressing the C°/ F°button and the electronic
system will display the actual temperature (1) and setting temperature (2) in F° and vice versa.
4. When the actual temperature on the tip is less then the set-point, “HEAT ON” will display and make the tip
heat up.
5. When the absolute offset is more than ±10°C between the actual temperature and the set-point on the tip,
“WAIT” will display. It means that the temperature electronic control system has not stabilised. Please wait
a moment to let the “WAIT” disappear.
6. When “ERROR” is displayed, there may be a trouble with the unit, or the soldering iron or the de-soldering
gun is not connected to the control system correctly.
Operating Instructions
1. Place the soldering iron and de-soldering gun in their respective holders. Connect the plug to the receptacle
on the station and turn clockwise to tighten the plug nut.
2. Check that the power supply is corresponding to the specification on the type plate and the power switch is
at the “OFF” position.
3. Connect the control unit to the power supply and switch on the power.
4. A self-test is carried out in which all screen elements are displayed briefly. The electronic system then
switches on automatically to the set temperature and displays this value.

TIP REPLACEMENT AND CARE OF TIPS:
Caution: The soldering iron can be very hot. Be sure to turn the unit off prior to carrying out any maintenance
or trouble shooting steps listed below.
IMPORTANT: Remove and clean the tip daily. Tips can be changed or replaced simply by unscrewing the
knurled nut barrel assembly. The station must be switched off and allowed to cool before this operation as
damage may result if the system is left on without the tip inserted.
If a new tip is installed, or to maintain the current tip, remove any loose build up in the barrel assembly,
otherwise the tip may fuse to the heating element or retaining barrel. After removing the tip, blow out any
oxide dust that may have formed in the tip retaining area of the barrel. Be careful to avoid getting dust in
your eyes. Replace the tip and screw back the knurled nut barrel assembly using only firm hand pressure to
tighten. Pliers should only be used to tighten the nut to avoid burning your fingers and care should be taken
not to over-tighten as this would damage the element. The solder tips supplied are nickel/chrome plated
pure copper and if used properly will give a long life.
General Cleaning
After use, the solder waste is stored in the pipe. If you do not clean it regularly, the solder waste will block
the de-soldering gun. When under high temperature, the solder waste will oxidize (lead free solder’s melting
point is 220°C, non-lead free solder’s melting point is 180°C), swell and get stuck on the inner wall tightly.
Eventually this build-up will be nearly impossible to remove so its important to follow the general cleaning
steps listed below.
1. After each operation is finished, please pump the de-soldering gun trigger 3-5 times rapidly while idling, to
clear the solder waste inside the pipe
2. If the operation interval is about 20 minutes, while the de-soldering gun suction is idle, please use the
cleaning tool to clean the pipe.
3. When you find the de-soldering efficiency reducing, please use the cleaning tool to clean the pipe
immediately.
4. If there is a long interval of idle usage, we advise to adjust the temperature to about 200°C. When you use it
again you can adjust to the working temperature.
5. When the glass tube has absorbed about 1/2 solder waste, please clean it immediately. When you find the
filter is becoming clogged up, please replace the filter.
