1.2 GENERAL SAFETY

WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.
Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards of the soldering station.
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Locate soldering station in a suitable working area, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
Keep the work area clean, uncluttered and ensure there is adequate lighting.
Keep the soldering iron clean for best and safest performance.
Ensure there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.
Wear approved safety eye protection (standard spectacles are not adequate).
Wear appropriate protective clothing.
Ensure the workpiece is adequately held before operating the soldering iron.
Always replace the soldering iron in its holder when not in use.
Remove excess solder from the soldering iron by wiping the tip on a damp, natural sponge; not by abrupt force.
DO NOT attempt to remove excess solder from the soldering iron by shaking it. Hot solder may become airborne and land on skin causing burns and blisters.
DO NOT allow children or pets into the area where the soldering is taking place.
DO NOT attempt to cool the gun with water.

4. OPERATION

NOTE: Dampen the sponge wiper before using the soldering station.

4.1 CONNECTION

4.1.1 Push the DIN plug attached to the iron lead into the socket on the front panel of the control unit.
4.1.2 Plug the power cable into the mains power supply after ensuring that it is to the correct standard.

4.2 SWITCHING ON

4.2.1 Switch the on/off switch to the ‘ • ‘ setting. Switch is located on the side of the unit.
4.2.2 Select the required tip temperature using the dial knob on the front of the unit. The knob has both a dimple and small pointer to enable accurate setting and has scales showing for both celcius and fahrenheit units.
4.2.3 The red light on the front of the unit will be solid whilst heating then will flash when it reaches the required temperature.

4.3 CALIBRATION (fig.1)

4.3.1 The soldering iron should be recalibrated after changing either the tip, heating element or whole soldering iron.
4.3.2 Remove and carefully store the CAL plug. Replace it after calibration is completed.
4.3.3 Ensure that the tip of the soldering iron is well tinned with solder to disperse the heat.
4.3.4 Set tip temperature to 400ºC. When tip is indicated to be at temperature (4.2.3), measure the actual tip temperature using a suitable, reliable and accurate device.
4.3.5 If the measured tip temperature is lower than the set temperature use a suitable screwdriver to rotate the CAL control clockwise for a quarter of a turn at a time to increase the tip temperature. Repeat this until the set and measured temperatures are the same.
4.3.6 If the measured tip temperature is higher than the set temperature use a suitable screwdriver to rotate the CAL control counter clockwise for a quarter of a turn at a time to decrease the tip temperature. Repeat this until the set and measured temperatures are the same.
