OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR SOLDERING AND DESOLDERING ACTIVITIES
GENERAL
1. Make sure the unit's power switch is in the "OFF"-position.
2. Plug in the soldering and desoldering handpiece and connect the vacuum tube to the VAC-connection.
3. Connect the AC power cord to the mains inlet.
4. Place the temperature control switches in the "MIN"-position.
5. Place the power switch in the "ON"-position.
6. Tin the surface of both the soldering and the desoldering tip by applying a new protective layer of solder.
7. A slide switch below the digital display allows you to toggle between a Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature read-
out. You can preset the temperature setting by pushing the slide switch to the SET position. Use the temperature
control knob to set the desired temperature. Then slide the switch to READ. The temperature will be maintained
(+/- 3°C / 5°F) with the display showing the actual tip temperature.
REMARKS
♦ The soldering and desoldering irons can be used simultaneously.
CAUTION
Do not touch the metal parts of the soldering or the desoldering iron while the unit is being used or while it is cooling
in order to avoid burns.
DESOLDERING PROCEDURE: IMPORTANT NOTES
(a) Do not activate the vacuum pump until the solder has melted completely. Melting is achieved by moving the hot
tip around the lead, leaving visibly melted solder on the component side of the PCB.
(b) Release the vacuum switch when the tip is completely solder-free, otherwise the tip may clog.
(c) Add solder to the joint of the component and allow the solder to melt completely for improved desoldering.
(d) Remove the solder collector and clean it after no more than 200 applications. However, daily cleaning is strongly
recommended, especially if the device is used frequently.
(e) Replace the cotton pad in the solder collector and the in-line filter when they start to turn yellow.
(f) Use the included spring wire to clean the tip in case of insufficient suction. Also check the in-line filters.
(g) Make sure that all filters are in place during operation in order to avoid damage to the vacuum pump.
(h) Read "9. Maintenance" when you wish to replace the tip.
