9.2

Tip Maintenance

The soldering iron uses extremely high temperatures. Make sure that the unit is switched off for
maintenance purposes.
Remove the tip and clean it after heavy or moderate use. We recommend cleaning the tip daily if the
station is used frequently.
The supplied soldering tip is made of copper covered with a layer of iron. It will retain its projected life
span if used properly.

Always tin the tip before returning it to the holder, prior to turning off the station or to storing it for
long periods. Wipe the tip on a wet sponge or use our tip cleaner before activating the device.

Using excessive temperatures (more than 400° C or 750° F) will shorten the life span of the tip.

Do not exercise excessive pressure on the tip while soldering, as this may cause damage to the tip.

Never clean the tip with a file or with abrasive materials.

Do not use flux containing chloride or acid. Use only resinous fluxes.

If an oxide film has formed, you should remove it by buffing carefully with a 600-800 grit emery
cloth or by using isopropyl alcohol and consequently applying a new protective layer of solder.

Set the desired temperature after allowing the unit to idle at 250° C for three minutes. The station
will be ready for use once the set temperature is reached.
IMPORTANT

Remove and clean the tip daily. Remove excess solder from the barrel nut assembly when installing a
new tip, otherwise the tip may be fused to the heating element or to the retaining assembly.
10.

Common Causes for Tip Failure


The temperature of the tip exceeds 410° C (770° F).

The tip is not sufficiently tinned.

Wiping the tip on a surface with a high sulphur content or on a dirty or dry sponge.

Contact with organic or chemical substances such as plastic, resin, silicone and grease.

Impurities in the solder and/or a low tin content.
