Burn In Procedure
If using a new soldering iron for the first time of it the heater has just been replaced, perform the
Heater Burn-In procedure in the power supply manual (or on the red tag on the handpiece) to
increase the life expectancy of the heater.
This procedure should be performed whenever a new handpiece or heater is connected to the
system.

For maximum productivity and proper fit, install tips into your soldering iron when
the heater is hot. CAUTION: To avoid burns or potential injury, always hold the
handpiece with the heater pointed at an angle up to prevent injury.

of the tip pointing towards the heater.

inserted into the heater. The set screw is not required to hold the
PERMAGROUND Tip in the heater.
