8. MAINTENANCE (Soldering iron)
Performing proper and periodic maintenance extends product life. Efficient soldering depends upon
the temperature, quality and quantity of the solder and flux.
Apply the following service procedure as dictated by the conditions of usage.
● Tip Maintenance
1. Set the temperature to 250℃ (482℉).
2. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip with the cleaning sponge and check the condition of the tip.
3. If the solder plated part of the tip is covered with black oxide, apply fresh solder containing flux, and
clean the tip again. Repeat until all the oxide is removed, then coat the tip with fresh solder.
4. If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new one.
Since the soldering iron can reach a very high temperature, please work carefully. Except the case
especially indicated, always turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the power plug before performing
any maintenance procedure.
WARNING
CAUTION
Do not file the tip in an attempt to remove the black oxide.
■ Cleaning the tip using the iron holder
1. Using the cleaning sponge
2. Using the cleaning wire
Use the cleaning sponge that comes with the
product to clean the tip. It offers wide-ranging
uses, from simple removal of excess solder to
complete elimination of matter occurring as a
result of oxidization.
Material that is not removed easily with the
cleaning sponge can likely be removed using
the cleaning wire.
