1. Ensure the soldering iron is set up correctly. The station comes with a
solder roll holder, install the solder roll holder. How to install: place the
solder roll holder to the left of the station and align it with the installation
holes on the left side of the station. Press down to secure the solder roll
holder and the station, level them both, and then install the screws to
secure the installation.

2. Connect the station’s power cord to an electrical outlet, turn on the
power switch, and the soldering station will begin heating. At this point,
the station's operating indicator light (the dot located at the bottom-right
corner of the display) lights up. The indicator will be ON solidly while
the station heats up, blink rapidly and regularly when the temperature is

stabilized, and be OFF when the station is cooling. Begin your operation
when the station's temperature stabilizes and its operating indicator light
blinks rapidly and regularly.
CAUTION: Upon first use of the soldering iron tip, set the
temperature to 250°C/482°F. When the soldering iron tip is just hot
enough to melt solder, tin the soldering iron tip with a layer of solder
(use of rosin-core solder is recommended) before setting the
temperature to your desired value.
3. After work is complete, clean the tip with a wet cleaning sponge or a
metal wire tip cleaner. Then recoat the tip with a fresh layer of solder.
After this, return the handle to its holder. At this time, you may turn off
the soldering station switch. If the machine is not in use for a long period,
turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord.

This function allows the station to comply with different user
preferences for users in different regions.
1. When the power switch is OFF, press and hold the temperature
increase button.
2. Then turn on the power switch, and the display will show “F” to
indicate the station is in Fahrenheit display mode.
3. Press the temperature increase or decrease button to select Fahrenheit
or Celsius display mode.
4. When there are no further inputs made for about 5 seconds, the
system exits the setting interface and saves the data – Setting complete.
NOTE: The stations come with a °F/°C temperature display selector
switch. Use the selector switch to select either the Fahrenheit or
Celsius display mode.
°F / °C Temperature Display

This function extends the lifespan of the soldering iron, conserves
energy, and protects the environment.
1. When the power switch is OFF, press and hold the temperature
decrease button.
2. Then turn on the power switch, and the display will show “L10” to
indicate the timer value of 10 minutes.
3. Press the temperature increase or decrease button to set the timer
value to 0 to turn off sleep mode.
4. When there are no further inputs made for around 5 seconds, the
system exits the setting interface and saves the data – Setting complete.
To start up from sleep mode:
A. Shake the soldering iron a couple of times.
B. Press any buttons on the panel.
C. Turn off and then turn on the power switch.
Sleep Mode

11
When the temperature setting is greater or equal to 250°C/480°F, the
station will cool to 200°C/392°F in sleep mode. When the temperature
setting is less than 250°C/482°F, the station will cool to 90°C/194°F in
sleep mode (Applicable to models with the LOW/HIGH Temperature
Range Selector).
When the temperature setting is 200°C-480°C(392°F-896°F), the
station will cool to 200°C/392°F in sleep mode (Applicable to models
with °F/°C temperature display selector switch).

12
Temperature discrepancies may occur due to a change in the
environment temperature or due to the replacement of the heating
element or other components. You can correct such discrepancies
with this function. The temperature calibration can help improve
work efficiency and prolong the lifespan of the soldering iron.
1. Turn on the power switch and the heating element will begin heating.
2. When the temperature stabilizes, press and hold both the temperature
increase and decrease buttons for approximately 2 seconds. The display
will show the set temperature while showing 3 additional numerical dots.
3. Press the temperature increase or decrease button to enter the
measured temperature value.
4. Press and hold both the temperature increase and decrease buttons for
approximately 2 seconds. The system will exit the setting interface and
save the data – setting complete.

1. If a layer of oxidization forms on the surface of the soldering iron tip,
you may falsely believe that the tip cannot heat up properly to melt the
solder and do the tinning. However, the actual temperatures of both the
heating element and tip are high. In such an instance, please do not
increase the temperature value, but use steel wool to remove the
oxidization following the steps below:
A. Set the temperature to 300°C (572°F).
B. Once the temperature has stabilized, gently rub the soldering iron tip
within the steel wool.
C. When the oxidization is partially removed, continue applying solder
to the soldering iron tip while rubbing it until the tip is completely coated
with solder. If the tip is too severely oxidized beyond cleaning, replace it
with a new one.
2. Do not use metal files to remove the oxidization on the soldering iron
tip. If the soldering iron tip deforms or rusts, replace the soldering iron tip
with a new one.
3. Do not apply excessive force to the soldering iron tip when soldering.
Doing this will not improve the heat transfer but damage the soldering

iron tip instead.
4. When placing the soldering iron back in the holder to idle after
high-temperature operation, adjust the temperature to 250°C (482°F) or
below for idling. Failure to do so, and leaving the soldering iron tip to
idle on a high-temperature setting, will cause accelerated aging of the
heating element and shorten the lifespan of the heating element and
soldering iron tip.
5. After every operation, clean the soldering iron tip, then tin the tip with
a new layer of solder to prevent oxidization.

1. "S-E" – This is an indication that the station’s sensor module is faulty.
You need to replace the heating element (the heating element and the
sensor modules).
2. "SLP" – This is an indication that the station is in sleep mode.
3. When replacing the heating element, take note of the original
connecting order and colors of the wires, which must not be connected
incorrectly.
