Warnings
Increasing the default
value will accelerate oxi-
dation and shorten the tip
life.
When the user chan-
ges the cartridge type, the
parameter should be reset to
0°C/F or to the value needed
for this cartridge. e.g. If a
correction of +20°C (+36°F)
is set for the C245966 (thick
type) and then the user
changes the cartridge for a
C245030 (which is thinner)
without resetting, they would
be working at a temperature
of +20°C (+36°F) lower for
the C245030 which does
not need any temperature
adjustment.
Maintenance
Before carrying out maintenance, always allow the equipment to cool.
- Clean the station screen with a glass cleaner
or a damp cloth.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the casing and
the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean
the metal parts.
- Periodically check that the metal parts of
the tool and stand are clean so that the
station can detect the tool status.
- Maintain tip surface clean and tinned prior
to storage in order to avoid tip oxidation.
Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat
transfer to the solder joint.
- Periodically check all cables and tubes.
- Replace a blown fuse as follows:
1. Pull off the fuse holder and remove the
fuse. If necessary use a tool to lever it off.
- Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only.
- Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.
