NOTE: The LED indicator flashes quickly until it reaches
the maximum operating temperature. Once the maximum
temperature is reached, the indicator will glow solid.
Press the on/off switch to turn the soldering iron off.
NOTE: The LED indicator will flash a slower pattern for
10 minutes while the tip cools. Do not touch the tip while
the LED indicator is solid or flashing.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
After 10 minutes of operation, the unit will automatically power
down and the LED will flash slowly. This preserves the tip
and prevents powering an unattended tool. To restore power,
press the on/off switch to turn the unit back on.
OPERATING THE SOLDERING IRON
See Figure 3, page 7.
Always hold the soldering iron pen as shown. Apply solder
with the tip of the pen.
Apply soldering wire only to the tip of the tool at the point
where it touches the workpiece.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
While the tip is hot, wipe the tip against a damp sponge or
a metallic wool pad to remove debris. Keeping a clean tip is
important to extend the life of the tip and will improve solder
melting and flow during use.
REPLACING SOLDERING TIPS
See Figure 4, page 7.
WARNING:
Always allow the soldering tip to cool for a minimum of
30 minutes before removing the tip. Touching a hot sol-
dering tip can result in serious personal injury.

section of this manual.
WARNING:
Always place the pen back into the holder so that the tip
does not come in contact with anything while it is heating
or when not in use. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of damage to items, burns, fire, or serious personal injury.
Always allow 30 minutes for the soldering iron to cool
before storing the tool.

STORAGE
Always remove the battery pack and allow the soldering iron
to cool completely before storing.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack before storage to en-
sure the product is off. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes
of cool-down time before storage. Storing a soldering
iron with a hot tip can cause serious burns and/or ignite
combustible objects.
