Warnings
In most cases,
working with temperatures
over 400°C (750°F) can
damage the PCB and its
components. even in short
time periods of tip contact
with the soldering joint, the
flux may not work properly
and could seriously reduce
tip life.
If the solder joint requires
more power (e.g. multila-
yered or high dissipation
boards), JBC strongly
recommends using other
aids like preheaters.
