When not in use Never leave the soldering iron sitting at high temperature for long periods of time, at the tip's solder plating will become covered with oxide, which can greatly reduce the tip's heat conductivity. After use Wipe the tip clean and coat the tip with fresh solder. This helps prevent tip to oxidation.

Check 1. If the power cord and/or Problem1. connecting plug disconnected? The LCD screen *Connect it. display error. Check 2. If the fuse blew and eliminate the cause, replace the fuse. Check 3. Is the soldering iron cord broken? Problem 2. *Refer to checking for breakage in the cord The tip does not heat assembly.
Page 17
Checking for breakage of the heating element and cord assembly Disconnect the plug and measure the resistance value between the connecting plug pins as follows. If the values of 'a' and 'b' are outside the above value, replace the heating element (sensor) and/or cord assembly .Refer to Procedures 1 and 2 If the value of C' is over the above value, remove the oxidization film by lightly rubbing with sand-paper or steel wool the points as shown.

3. Pull both the heating element 6 and the cord assembly 11 out of the handle 12. (Toward the tip of the iron.) 4. Pull the grounding spring 5 out of the D-sleeve. Measure when the heating element is at room temperature. 1.

Check the resistance between the pin of the plug and the wire on the terminal. Pin 1: Black, Pin 2: Red, Pin 3: White, Pin 4: Black, Pin 5: Red The value should be <2Ω. If it is more than 2Ω or ∞, the soldering iron need to be replaced.
