1.3 Warnings
Turn the power off when not in use, or left unattended.
When the power is ON, the tip temperature will rise between
100℃~400℃ (212℉~752℉)
Please do not wet the tool or operate it when your hands are wet
1.4 Cautions
Please avoid any severe shocks, for the control part is created
with precision electronic components.
The temperature of control knob will reach 50~60℃ after 40-
minute continuous use over 350℃.
A small chain of smoke may come out due to the high temperature
when use for the first time.
Do not attempt to repair the Mini Soldering Iron, or the warranty
will be invalidated.
1.5 Liability Statement
The user ought to undertake the responsibilities if any special,
indirect, consequential, incidental or secondary damages and

(1) Wipe the tip's soldering side with some solder before turning
it off.
(2) Do not leave the tip in high temperature for too long as the
high temperature may degrade the tip.
(3) To prevent the tip from damages, please use the soldering
iron in a proper strength.
(4) Do not use rough material to clean the tip.
(5) If the tip is covered with oxide and difficult to joint the solder,
please apply 600~800 grit sandpaper and wipe the tip with Etha-
nol or Isopropyl alcohol. Increase the tip temperature to 200℃
and joint solder immediately to avoid it oxidize.
(6) Do not use Flux which contains high chlorine or acid, use the
resin based flux only.
5.3 Soldering Iron Tip Maintenance
5.4 Soldering Iron Tip Lifespan
Please refer to item 5.3 for a better maintenance of the Mini
Soldering Iron. Its lifespan depends highly on how you use it.

Trouble Shooting Guide
Q1: No Display
Q 2: Every time when replace a new tip, the temperature vary dram-
atically
Q3: Soldering iron restarts automatically
Q4: Soldering iron is heating intermittently
Q5: OLED displays "Warning!"
A1. Check whether the cable is in a good condition.
A2. Check whether there are any data in USB mode
A3. Check the screen and see whether it needs to be replaced.
A.The phenomena indicates the device is in Auto-detect Mode, which
is normal
A1. Check the power source, whether it is plugged correctly
A2. Check the voltage, if it is lower than the system parameter's
please reset it.
A1. This may happen occasionally when the tip is used for the first time.
A2. Check if the power cord is in loose or contact defectively?
A3: If the tip temperature is too high, please lower the temperature to
an appropriate value.
Set the temperature in appropriate level
A4: If the tip is dirty, please refer to Part 5.3 Soldering Iron Tip
Maintenance.
A1.The Mini Soldering Iron temperature may be higher than the maxi-
mum operating temperature
The warning sign will disappear after the temperature returns to the
working temperature range

Trouble Shooting Guide
A1: The voltage may be too high (Excess 24V)
A1: Check if the tip is installed properly
A2: If the tip is installed properly you should consider replacing it
with a new tip.
A1. If the tip temperature rises higher than 400℃, please lower the
temperature.
A2. The tip tins improperly.
A3. If there is not enough flux during operation, please add some
more flux.
A4. Don’t wipe the tip with a high-sulfur sponge or dry fabric.
A5. Don’t use the tip to touch any organic materials such as plastic,
silicone oil or other chemicals.
A1:Check whether the voltage is lower than default (10V). If so,
please adjust or wait until the voltage rises to 10V or higher.
