WARNING: Be aware that this product may ignite
material. Where this is a concern, test a piece of scrap
material. Also protect what is under the workpiece
with a heat resistant material to avoid heat damage
to a table.

Usage (Fig. A, H, I)
1. Insure that the material in the vicinity of where soldering
will occur is heat resistant and will not be harmed by
any excess solder. For larger pieces, insure that your
workpiece is resting on a heat resistant surface to avoid
heat damage to a table. etc..
2. Hold the soldering tip against the larger workpiece near
the joint area. The objective is to heat the two work
pieces until they are hot enough to melt the solder. In
stained glass work, lightly touch the soldering tip to the
copper foiled seam.

3. Hold the solder against the workpiece near the joint, but
not touching the soldering iron tip. When the workpiece
is hot enough, the solder will flow into the joint.
4. After soldering, return the pen to the pen holder
Press firmly to make sure it is secure.
5. Press the on/off temperature control dial

10 minutes and then turn off.
6. Clean the soldering tip as described in the
Maintenance section.
7. Always allow soldering iron to completely cool before
storing the tool.
nOTE: The process of "tinning" the soldering tip is helpful
to insure a good soldering joint. A tinned tip has a thin layer
of solder applied to it and is free of solder flux. "Flux" is the
chemical contained in most solder wire which helps to clean
the area about to be joined. When purchasing solder check
to see that it contains flux or else apply flux to the joint area
as directed.
Replacing Soldering Tips (Fig. E, J)
WARNING: ALWAYS allow the soldering tip to cool
for a minimum of 30 minutes before removing the
tip. Touching a hot soldering tip can result in serious
personal injury.
1. Remove the battery pack
2. Loosen screw

. Securely tighten screw
nOTE: Only use 0.25" (6.35 mm) diameter tips. Smaller
diameter tips will not heat up properly and may fall out of
the barrel.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can cause injury.
Your CRAFTSMAN power tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.
Soldering Iron Maintenance (Fig. A)
•
While the tip is still hot, wipe it against the damp
sponge

in the sponge tray
•
Keeping a clean tip is important to extend the life of the
tip and will improve solder melting and flow during use.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performing this procedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non‑metallic parts of the
tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials
