Working Temperature

The most common soldering alloys used in the electronics industry consist of 60 % tin and 40 % lead.
The operating temperature of this type of solder is detailed below and can vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. However, to meet RoHS requirements, these solders are no longer allowed and are
replaced by lead-free solders that require a working temperature, which is ± 30 °C (54 °F) higher.

6. Tip Maintenance
The soldering uses extremely high temperatures. Make sure that the unit is switched off for maintenance
purposes.
Remove the tip and clean it after heavy or moderate use. We recommend cleaning the tip daily if the
station is used frequently.

Always tin the tip before returning it to the holder, prior to turning off the station or to storing it for
long periods of time. Wipe the tip on a wet sponge or use our tip cleaner before activating the device.

Using excessive temperatures (more than 400 °C or 750 °F) will shorten the life span of the tip.

Do not exercise excessive pressure on the tip while soldering, as this may cause damage to the tip.

Never clean the tip with a file or with abrasive materials.

Do not use flux containing chloride or acid. Use only resinous fluxes.

If an oxide film has formed, you should remove it by buffing carefully with a 600-800 grit emery
cloth or by using isopropyl alcohol and consequently applying a new protective layer of solder.

Set the desired temperature after allowing the unit to idle at 250 °C for three minutes. The station
will be ready for use once the set temperature is reached.

Wet the sponge with nothing but water.
IMPORTANT
Remove and clean the tip daily. Remove excess solder from the barrel nut assembly when
installing a new tip.
