APPLICATION & OPERATION
Note: The rst time you use the soldering iron, it may smoke slightly as the heating
element dries out. This is normal and should only last for a few minutes.
ONLY USE FOR ELECTRICAL WORK - Acidic solder will damage the iron tip.
• Connect the plug on the soldering iron lead to the socket on the left hand side of
the station.
• Attach the holder to either the right or left hand side of the station and tighten the
locking wheel and place the iron in the holder.
• Connect the mains plug and turn on the power using the switch on the front of the
station. The LCD will illuminate when the power is on.
• Before using the soldering iron for the rst time, dampen the cleaning sponge and
place it in the tray on top of the station. Keep it damp during use.
Adjusting the temperature
• Switch the temperature display from ºC to ºF by pressing the “ºC/ºF” button if
required.
• Set the display switch to “SET” and regulate the temperature of the iron using the
rotary control.
• Turn the display switch to “READ” and the LCD read out will show the actual
temperature of the tip. This will change until the tip reaches the set temperature.
• When the actual temperature on the soldering tip is less than the set temperature,
the red light on the display will ash indicating the heating element is active.
• Between use (or during breaks), always put the soldering iron in the holder.
• Lower the temperature during breaks as this extends the life of the tip.
• When the soldering work is done, adjust the temperature to 270
o
C or switch off the
power rst, clean the tip and tin with fresh solder to protect it from oxidation.
• Never le down the tips or attempt to clean using abrasives.
• If the tip is worn, replacement Irons are available for this
station - see our website or catalogue.
