corrosive method or mechanically with sandpaper,
a file or a scraper. If the corrosive method is used,
personnel should avoid using aggressive acids such
as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or nitric acid. 10%
citric acid (hot or very hot) is recommended for routi-
ne cleaning. When cleaning is complete, do not touch
the surface to be soldered with your fingers. Solder
gun loops are made of copper. When heated, an
oxide coating forms on their surface. Clean the loops
with flux and then tin them. The correct temperature
is reached when the tin applied to the loops forms a
coating (film).
The formation of small drops means that the correct
temperature has not yet been reached. Once „tin
beads" are formed, the tip is not perfectly clean. After
prolonged use, the tips may show signs that are
caused by immersion in the flux too often. Remove
the flux with a file or scrape.
Before first use
Inserting / replacing soldering tips
ATTENTION! DANGER OF BURNS! Let the soldering
iron heat up without the soldering tip.
Only remove the soldering tip when the device is
switched off and the soldering tip has cooled down.
Turn the soldering tip and replace it.
Before using the soldering station for the first time
and before using a new soldering tip, you must „tin"
you, ie. A thin layer of solder, soldering tip.
Follow these steps:
Insert the mains plug into the socket and press the
ON / OFF switch I to position „I".
Turn the temperature control to position 2 and allow
a small amount of solder to drain out and apply a thin
continuous layer to the surface of the soldering tip.
Using the product
Switching on / off and setting the temperature
Switching on and setting the temperature:
Insert the mains plug into the socket and press the
ON / OFF switch I to position „I".
Turn the temperature control to set the desired tem-
perature.
If you use an unsuitable solder wire, problems will
occur during soldering. In order to achieve perfect
soldering, the correct soldering temperature must
be reached. If the temperature is too low, the solder
does not flow sufficiently and causes contamination
of the solder in the joint, the so-called „cold joint". If
the temperature burns too high (auxiliary) it flows and
the solder does not flow. High temperatures can also
damage the workpiece.
Below is the temperature setting suitable for most sol-
dering tasks. The exact setting may differ depending
on the solder and the manufacturer.
Level min = room temperature
Setting 1 = approx. 100 ° C - heating phase and for
low melting point solder
Setting 2 = melting point 200 ° C of the most common
solders
Setting 3 = 300 ° C normal operating temperature, eg
for solder with high melting point
Setting 4 = 400 ° C high soldering temperature, eg for
desoldering small soldered joints
Setting 5 = 500 ° C maximum soldering temperature,
eg for desoldering large soldered joints
Shutdown:
Note: Always replace the solder pen in the holder
after use.
Press the ON / OFF switch to the „0" position.
Unplug the power cord when not in use.
Soldering sponge
ATTENTION! The hot soldering tip must never touch
the dry solder sponge, otherwise the solder sponge
could be damaged.
The soldering sponge is used to clean the soldering
tips. Moisten the solder sponge before use.
Soldering
The soldering pen has a rated power of 48 watts and
is therefore ideal for soldering electronics.
The construction of the soldering iron is particularly
suitable for use where access is difficult or for fine
soldering.
Clean the soldering tip on a damp soldering sponge.
After cleaning the tip, it must be „tinned" (coated with
solder). This is done by melting the solder on a hot
soldering tip. Guide the soldering tip 7 to the intended
connection point and heat the connection. Insert
solder (with flux) between the joint and the tip to melt
it. Continue to feed more solder until the entire joint
has solder.
Then quickly remove the soldering tip to prevent the
molten solder from overheating. Allow the solder to
harden and do not subject it to vibration or movement.
Note: The flux is either already contained in the solder
or is applied separately. When purchasing solder, ask
your dealer for advice on choosing the most suitable
solder for your intended purpose.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Warning! Danger of injury!
Before carrying out any work on the device, always
pull the mains plug out of the socket and allow the
device to cool down.
Clean the device after use.
Use a cloth and a mild detergent to clean the machi-
ne.
Under no circumstances use sharp objects or petrol,
solvents or cleaning agents that could damage the
plastics.
Make sure that no liquids get inside the device.
