Please refer to chapter How to Solder below for handy tips.
Do not apply to the same place for a long time.
Do not leave the device unattended when switched on.
6.2 Auto Sleep Mode
When the soldering iron is placed in its holder, the switched-on station automatically
lowers the iron temperature (sleep mode). As soon as you pick up the iron, the station
exits the sleep mode.
6.3 Switching Off the Station
After use, place the iron in its holder and switch off the station.
After switching off, leave the power cord plugged in for a few minutes. When you switch
off the unit, the automatic cooling function blows cooling air through the heater pipe for
a short period. This protects the heater from damage and extends its lifetime. Do not
disconnect the mains plug during this cooling process.
Wait until the cooling process has stopped, then disconnect the power plug. The device
uses a small amount of electrical power, even if it is switched off.
7. How to Solder
7.1 Precautions
To extend the life of the heating element in the hot air gun, do not use the device
continuously at a low airflow and a high temperature. Allow the heating element to cool
after maximum 20 minutes of usage. Place the hot air gun back in its stand when not in
use.
Make sure that both heater and nozzle are cold before attaching the nozzle.
High temperatures! Both nozzle and airflow are extremely hot and can cause severe
burns. Never touch the nozzle and heater assembly or allow the hot air to blow against
your skin. When used for the first time, the hot air gun may emit some white smoke,
but this will soon dissipate.
Always let the unit cool down after use. After switching off, leave the power cord
plugged in for a few minutes. When you switch off the unit, the automatic cooling
function blows cooling air through the heater pipe for a short period. This protects the
heater from damage and extends its lifetime. Do not disconnect the mains plug during
this cooling process.
