tightening the locking ring nger tight.
• Place the iron in the holder and turn on the mains power.
Setting the temperature:
• The digital display will initially
display the current set
temperature (the value from the
last usage) for three seconds.
• After a few seconds it will display the actual temperature in °C or °F.
• Pressing and holding the “up” or “down” button, you can quickly either increase or
decrease the temperature.
• The display screen shows the set
temperature value followed by
the actual tip temperature.
Temperature unit exchange:
• In the power-off condition, press and hold the “#” button, then turn on the station.
The temperature unit will change between “°C” and “°F” and will store the setting
automatically.
Storing and recalling 3 preset temperatures:
• The three preset buttons can be used to store quick
access temperatures for instant recall.
• Press and hold the “#” key followed by buttons 1, 2 or 3,
you can store the current temperature into memory.
• Press buttons 1, 2 or 3 once to use the set temperature
stored as displayed at the bottom of the LCD screen.

CALIBRATION
Note: calibration may be needed after changing the tip for one of a different shape.
• Enter into the calibrating mode by pressing and holding the “*” key for three
seconds.
• Set the temperature to 300°C and use a tip thermometer to verify the actual tip
temperature.
• Adjust the tip temperature by pressing the “up” or “down” buttons until the
displayed temperature matches the measured temperature.
• Press the “*” button again to save and exit calibration mode.
Temperature Lock Function:
• Temperature lock and unlock functions can be entered by pressing and holding “#”
for three seconds.
• “Loc”, located in the bottom right of the LCD screen shows

• Always turn the power off when removing or inserting a tip.
• Allow the soldering tip to cool down to room temperature.
• Unscrew the retaining nut and remove the outer sleeve.
• Pull off the tip and replace with a new soldering tip.
• Reassemble in reverse sequence.
• A range of varying diameter and shaped replacement tips are available.
• See our website or printed catalogue for part numbers.
• Tip heats intermittently - Mains cord damaged or a loose connection.
Defective heating element.
• Tip will not reach set temperature- Temperature requires calibration.
Defective heating element
• Solder will not wet the tip- Tip temperature is too high.
Tip is badly oxidized and requires cleaning.
• Increased resistance between
tip and ground- Check the tip sleeve nut is tightened.
