HOW TO USE
① First, determine the right temperature for your project. Which temperature to use depends on
the materials you're joining and the kind of solder you're using. As a general rule of thumb,the best
temperature to use is the one that's as low as possible while s�ll being high enough to get the job
done. In other words, if the temperature needed to do the job is 350/662°F or above, then set the
temperature to exactly 350/662°F. This will help extend the life of your tools and avoid damaging
any electronic components.
② Once your iron is heated to the appropriate temperature, pick up the iron by the handle in one
hand and hold a piece of solder in the other hand. Hold the hot iron to the place where the two
metal components will meet for about a second to heat them up. You want to heat the metal parts,
not the solder itself.
③ Then, touch the solder to the heated components. As the solder melts, it will flow into the gaps
it needs to fill. Con�nue to feed in solder un�l a sufficient amount is dissolved. While you need en
-ough to form a solid connec�on, you don't want to have too much solder either. The right amount
will vary from project to project. This typically won't take more than a few seconds.
④ Allow the solder to cool. You don't need to take any ac�on to cause it to cool. It will do so on its
own and shouldn't take longer than a few more seconds.
⑤ Check the soldering joint for quality. A good connec�on will appear smooth, uniform, and shiny.
Make sure that aren't any problema�c gaps between the components or globs of excess solder.
