Always disconnect mains power when the device
is not in use or when servicing or maintenance
activities are performed. Handle the power cord
by the plug only.
Caution! After switching off, leave the power
cord plugged in for a few minutes. When you
switch off the unit, the automatic cooling function
blows cooling air through the heater pipe for a
short period. This protects the heater from
damage and extends its lifetime. Do not
disconnect the mains plug during this cooling
process.
Do not crimp the power cord and protect it
against damage.
Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid any hazard.
Make sure that the available voltage does not
exceed the voltage stated in the specifications of
this manual.
Plug the power cord into a suitable, earthed
mains outlet.
Risk of electroshock when opening the cover.
Touching live wires can cause life-threatening
electroshocks. Do not disassemble or open the
housing yourself. Have the device repaired by
qualified personnel.
Do not operate the device with wet hands.
Never use the device on live electronic circuits.
Make sure power to the work piece is cut and
capacitors are discharged.

Do not use near inflammable products or in
explosive atmospheres. Heat can cause fire to
inflammable products even when they are not in
sight. Only use in properly ventilated rooms.
Incorrect use may cause fire.
Do not touch the shafts, tips, or hot air gun as
this can cause serious burns. Keep the tips and
hot air away from the body, clothes, or other
flammable material. Do not aim the hot air gun
at the eyes. Use gloves and/or heat-resistant
tools to pick up the PCB assembly to prevent
burns. Always return the irons and gun to their
stands between uses; always let the device cool
down after use and before storage.
Place the device on a level, stable, and fire-
resistant working surface.
WARNING! This tool must be placed on its stand
when not in use; do not leave the tool
unattended when switched on.
Do not inhale solder fumes. The vapours that are
released during soldering are harmful. Therefore,
you shall only use the soldering station in well-
ventilated areas or under an exhaust hood
(solder fume extractor). Dispose of fume filters
and solder residue in accordance with local
regulations.
•Use the soldering iron on a heatproof
workbench.
•Place the soldering iron in its holder after use.
•Let a hot soldering iron cool down naturally
and do not immerse in water.

4. Plug the power cord into a suitable, earthed mains outlet.
6. Operation
6.1 General Operation
1. To switch on the appliance, set the power switch in the on position (I). The device
starts heating up, the temperature and airflow values will be displayed.
2. Switch on the soldering or rework station with the respective button.
3. Select the temperature unit with the temperature unit setting switch.
4. Set the temperature and airflow value with the respective + and –buttons and the
airflow control knob.
5. After setting, wait for the values to stabilize before starting to solder.
Please refer to chapter How to Solder below for handy tips.
Do not apply to the same place for a long time.
Do not leave the device unattended when switched on.
6.2 Auto Sleep Mode
When the soldering iron is placed in its holder, the switched-on station automatically
lowers the iron temperature (sleep mode). As soon as you pick up the iron, the station
exits the sleep mode.
6.3 Switching Off the Station
After use, place the iron in its holder and switch off the station.
After switching off, leave the power cord plugged in for a few minutes. When you switch
off the unit, the automatic cooling function blows cooling air through the heater pipe for
a short period. This protects the heater from damage and extends its lifetime. Do not
disconnect the mains plug during this cooling process.
Wait until the cooling process has stopped, then disconnect the power plug. The device
uses a small amount of electrical power, even if it is switched off.

7. How to Solder
7.1 Precautions
To extend the life of the heating element in the hot air gun, do not use the device
continuously at a low airflow and a high temperature. Allow the heating element to cool
after maximum 20 minutes of usage. Place the hot air gun back in its stand when not in
use.
Make sure that both heater and nozzle are cold before attaching the nozzle.
High temperatures! Both nozzle and airflow are extremely hot and can cause severe
burns. Never touch the nozzle and heater assembly or allow the hot air to blow against
your skin. When used for the first time, the hot air gun may emit some white smoke,
but this will soon dissipate.
Always let the unit cool down after use. After switching off, leave the power cord
plugged in for a few minutes. When you switch off the unit, the automatic cooling
function blows cooling air through the heater pipe for a short period. This protects the
heater from damage and extends its lifetime. Do not disconnect the mains plug during
this cooling process.
7.2 Setup
Do not force the nozzle or pull its edges with pliers.
1. Make sure the appliance is switched off and the iron/air gun is completely cooled
down.
2. Select the air nozzle and slide it onto the air gun.
3. Plug in the power cord and switch on the station.
4. Select the temperature and airflow.
5. Wait until the temperature is stable.
8. Cleaning and Maintenance
8.1 General
Only perform the maintenance as described in this user manual. Contact an authorised
dealer or service agent for any other maintenance or repair.
If the iron or station becomes faulty or, for some reason does not operate normally,
return it to the service department of your authorized dealer or service agent.
Clean the outer cover of the iron and station with a damp cloth and a small amount of
liquid detergent. Never submerge the unit in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the case
of the station. Never use any solvent to clean the case.
