5. SetthedesiredairtemperatureusingbuttonsA6andA7.
6. You may start reworking as  soon as the desired temperature is
reached.RefertodisplaypanelC3toverify.
7. When reworking  is  completed, turn off the “SMD Rework”
function switch. The autocooling functionality will commence if
thesystemdetectsatemperaturehigherthan95°C.Itwillblowat
fullspeedtoacceleratethecoolingdownofthehotairgun.The
autocooling functionality will stop when the temperature of the
hot air gun reaches about 95°C or below, as shown from the
actualtemperaturedisplaypanel,C3.Thesystemwillthenswitch

SOLDERINGIRON
1. Withtheunitpluggedtothemainpowersourceandmainpower
switch in the ON  position, ensure  that  the  soldering iron is
properlyconnectedtothereceptacle,D1.
2. ThesolderingirondisplayA3willshowtheword“OFF”indicating
thesolderingironfunctionisturnoff.
3. TousethesolderingironturnONthe“SolderingIron” function
switch,B1.
4. The soldering iron display A3 will briefly show the current set
temperaturethenswitchtodisplayingtheactualtemperature.
5. When  we  use  the  adjustment knob,  A3,  to  set  the  desired
soldering temperature.  The digital  display A2 will show the
currentsettemperaturebasedontheknobposition.

5. Aftera fewseconds thedigitaldisplayA2willswitchto showing
theactualtemperature.Youmaystartsolderingwhenthedesired
temperaturehasbeenreached.Thesmalldotlocatedat theend
of the number displayed in A2 signifies the heater regulation.
When the  small dot starts blinking on and off the system has
reachedthedesiredsettemperature.
6. Afterusageturnoffthesolderingironfunctionswitch.
7. If the soldering iron tip is still higher than 100 degrees, the
soldering iron display will show the word “Hot” indicating the
solderingironisstillhottocautionusers.
8. When  the  soldering  iron  tip’s  temperature  has  fallen  to
manageablelevelthedisplaywillshowthework“OFF”
9. SwitchONthe“SmokeAbsorber”powerswitch,B2,toactivate
thesmokeabsorptionfunctionality.
NOTE: Turnthe“SmokeAbsorber”ONonlyafterthesolderingironreached
the desired (set) temperature. This is to avoid affecting the temperature
increaseofthesolderingironintermsofheatingtime. 
SOLDERINGIRONSLEEPTIMER
1. The soldering iron has a sleep feature that allows the soldering
iron to go into  sleep mode depending on  user programmed
duration.
2. Toaccessandenablethesleepfeatureofthesolderingiron:
● TurnSolderingiron,SMDandSmokeabsorberfunctionswitchoff.
● PressandholdthehotairtemperatureincreasebuttonA6.
● The soldering iron display A2 will turn to “t##” , indicating it is
nowonsleeptimeradjustmentmode.
● Turnthesolderingironadjustmentknobtoselectdesiredsleep
