5.3.3 adjustment of the solder wire and the soldering tip position: rotate the handle
tube separator to change the combined position of the nozzle and the tip, loosen
the locking screw of the elbow tube, and pull the tube to change the length of its
extension.
5.3.4 Foot switch install: insert the foot switch plug into the SW jack on the back
of the machine.
5.3.5 Solder wire install:
A､Thread the shaft into the solder wire , then put on the support .
B､Pull out the solder wire and thread it through the solder wire input port at
the back of the upper cover, push the clutch lever to increase the gap between the
two gears and to make the solder wire penetrate into the outlet joint, adjust the
gap adjusting screw and the pressure adjusting nut , the solder wire between
the drive gear and the pressure gear can be well fixed by the gear without slipping,
and the solder wire is not deformed due to too much extrusion.
C､Loosen the fixing screw of the outlet joint，pull off the hose connector ,
Insert the solder wire pass through the outlet joint into the hose connector , fasten-
ing the fixing screw .
D､Connect the power plug on the back of the machine to the power correctly, turn
on the power switch, straighten the transfer hose as possible, and press the switch
of the foot switch or handle button until the solder wire is sent to the nozzle.
5.3.6 bracket installation: loosen the bracket fastener on the machine, install the
bracket into the bracket seat hole, tighten the tight nut to fix it.
5.3.7 Solder iron installation: loosen the tight nut , remove the handle fixing clip,
, place the handle into the fixing clip, reinstall and tighten the tight nut , insert
the soldering iron aviation plug into the SOLDER socket on the back of the machine,
and lock the screws.
5.3.8 Soldering iron position adjustment: the bracket fastener can adjust the
height of the handle, and the angle up or down (not too large to prevent the passage
of the solder wire, keep the solder wire in the appropriate position).

When unscrewing the handle tube separator, be more careful not to damage the heating
core; If the foot switch is pressed and the solder wire cannot be sent out automatically,
adjust the pressure adjusting nut ; The outlet joint shall not be excessively bent or forcibly
twisted to prevent the solder wire from blocking; If the soldering iron is installed, it will be
heated when the power switch is turned on (the display screen will be on). Please pay
attention to avoid scalding during installation.

4~5 ( Heater ) ≈4Ω
1~2 ( Temperature sensor ) ≈50Ω
1~6 ( feeding switch ) ON
3~soldering iron tip( Earthing) <2Ω
Check the resistance between the pins of the connecting plug as follows:
10

1) The resistance value between the plug pins is different from the resistance
value in the table, disassembly the soldering iron to confirm whether the resis-
tance value of the PCB is correct.
2) The measured resistance value on PCB is correct, indicate that the soldering
iron wire is damaged, refer diagram to check the wire connect situation as below.
3) The resistance between the 3 pin of the plug and the soldering iron tip is greater
than the table value, wipe the point of junction where oxidized with sandpaper.
