application.Ruleofthumb:thesolderingtipshouldbe
roughlyaslargeasthesolderingpad.
• Coatthesolderingtipwellwithsoldertoensurethatthere
isecientheattransferbetweenthesolderingtipandthe
solderingarea.
• Priortoextendedbreaksbetweensolderingwork,switch
othesolderingsystemorusetheWellerfunctionto
reducethetemperaturewhenthesolderingequipmentis
notinuse.
• Coatthetipwithsolderpriortostorageifyoudonot
