Operating Guidelines
1. Before turning on the unit, ensure that the hot air gun is in the
holster and the soldering iron is connected properly. The hot air gun
needs to be in this position EVERY TIME the unit is started.
2. Ensure there are no obstructions or blockages in the hot air gun
and/or attachments.
3. After using the hot air gun, place it back into the holster, and allow
the unit to initiate the cool down procedure until the display reads
“---”. Then power can be turned off.
4. When using the small nozzle attachment for the hot air gun, set
airflow to the maximum value to keep the hot air heating element
from overheating and breaking.
5. When using the soldering iron for the first time, be sure to allow the
iron to come to the proper temperature then clean and tin the tip to
provide longer life expectancy.
6. When “---” is displayed on the LED display, the outlet temperature
of the hot air gun is below 100°C, the handle has been properly
replaced into the holster, and the unit is in standby mode.
7. Do not use excessive force when installing/removing hot air nozzles
or soldering iron tips.
8. Do not over tighten the bolt on the hot air attachments.
9. Store any spare heating elements in a cool, dry, safe place to avoid
damage for future use. The ceramic heating elements are extremely
fragile.
10. Upon first use, the tube on the soldering iron may discolor a bit due
to the combination of the material composition and high heat. This
is perfectly normal and expected behavior.
11. Upon first use, white smoke may be visible from the hot air gun and
will go away shortly after heating. If the unit keeps smoking, refer to
troubleshooting section or contact the manufacturer.
Safety Precautions
1. Never use the soldering iron or the hot air gun near any flammable
substance, material, or gas.
2. Never touch the metallic components of the soldering iron or the hot
air gun while they are in use. The items may be extremely hot and
will cause serious burns instantly. Allow the unit to properly cool to
room temperature cbefore attempting to touch them.

- 7 -
3. Never point the hot air gun towards any flammable material or
human skin. There is very hot air exiting the outlet that may cause
serious burns or damage.
4. Do not use pliers or any other tool to manipulate hot air nozzles.
5. Do not try to reform nozzle attachments into other shapes.

Operating Guidelines
1. Before turning on the unit, ensure that all input and output
connection are correct and secure
2. Before using DC Power Supply or Volt Meter, ensure all selection
switches are in correct positions
3. Use Adjustment knobs to desired output Voltage/Current
4. Ensure a 2in. space is available on all sides of unit to ensure proper
cooling
5. To obtain a negative voltage, reverse the polarity on the output
terminals of the power supply
Safety Precautions
1. Keep unit free from dirt and dust
2. Keep sides of unit free from obstructions
3. If unit is overheating or exhaust fan is not turning on, Consult
manufacturer. Fan should turn on when unit temperature reaches
45°C
4. Do not short Positive and Negative terminals
5. Do not subject units to loads greater than 5A
6. Do not subject Voltmeter function to voltages greater than 30V

Maintenance
Unit
1. Keep the unit plugged into a GROUNDED outlet at all times during
operation.
2. Keep the unit and all components free from dirt, debris, and liquid at
all times.
3. Make sure the power cord is plugged in correctly and safely off the
floor to prevent accidents.
4. Keep all cords in the immediate workspace and avoid letting them
hang off the side of a table or bench top.
5. Wipe the unit down, when needed, with a dry, static-free cloth.
Soldering Tip Care
1. For first use, allow the tip to rise to a stable temperature. Clean the
tip on the damp sponge and tin the tip (apply a small amount of
fresh solder to the tip).
2. Never hit the soldering iron or tip on anything to remove excess
solder.
3. Do not use extreme temperature with the soldering iron tips, doing
so will shorten the life span of the tip.
4. Clean the tip before each use, using the copper cleaning brush for
better temperature stability during cleaning.
5. Always clean and re-tin the tip after each use. This will aid in the
prevention of oxidation on the tip and help extend the life span.
6. Do not allow the soldering iron or the tips to sit idle at high
temperatures for extended periods of time.
7. Never use a file or other abrasive materials to remove oxidation
from the tips.
8. To remove oxidation, simply flood the tip with fresh solder and wipe
it clean on the damp sponge or copper cleaning pad. This may need
to be repeated several times for badly oxidized parts.
9. To remove the yellowing on the tip shaft, which is perfectly normal
especially after first use, clean with 90% Isopropyl alcohol.
Install/Remove Soldering Iron Tip
1. Turn off the power to the unit and unplug from the power source.
2. Allow the soldering iron and tip to reach room temperature.
3. Loosen the nut at base of the metallic shaft of the soldering iron.
4. Slide the metallic tube off of the soldering iron and tip.
5. Slide the tip off of the heating element.
6. Repeat in the reverse order for installation. Do not overtighten the
nut on the soldering iron.

- 10 -
Install/Remove Hot Air Attachment
1. Turn the power off to the unit and unplug it from the power source.
2. Allow the hot air gun and attachment to reach room temperature
before proceeding.
3. Do not use excessive force when installing/removing hot air
attachments. Loosen the screw and nut from the attachment
by holding the nut with a pair of pliers and turning the screw
counterclockwise.
4. Slide the attachment off of the metallic shaft of the hot air gun.
5. Repeat in the reverse order for installation. Do not overtighten the
screen and nut on the hot air gun.
