OPERATING GUIDELINES
10.
Put in Solder bars to melt. Once solder has melted ensure that
the external sensor is able to come in contact with the melted
solder for proper temperature feedback.
11.
Dip soldering process may be done when the actual temperature
displayed is equal to the desired set temperature. Or when solder
has melted to the desired temperature.
12.
To enable/disable the smoke absorbing function while soldering
simply press and hold for 1 second the smoke absorber fan
button. ("5" from the control panel guide).
IMPORTANT:
If cpu cannot detect the appropriate feedback from the melted solder, system
automatically enters into protection mode, turning off the heater and displaying the
message "err". This indicates that the sensor has not been placed inside the solder
pot with the solder. Turn off unit and ensure that sensor is able to come in contact with
the melted solder .
B. For dip soldering printed circuit boards:
Insert all thru hole components into a printed circuit board. Use a
●
tong to hold the PCB and briefly dip the underside of the PCB into
flux and then the solder pot.
Smoke generated from the process will then be quickly filtered
●
thru the filter pad.
When all the PCB are soldered. Turn off the smoke absorption
●
switch and then switch off the main power.
C. For tinning solder tips, stranded wires and pre-tinning small
electrical parts:
Prepare the items to be tinned. Ensure items are clean and free
●
from unwanted dirt or oil.
Use tweezers or pliers to hold small components and briefly dip
●
the tip of the components into flux then into the solder pot.
Smoke generated from the process will then be quickly filtered
●
thru the filter pad.
When all the work is finished. Turn off the smoke absorption
●
switch and then switch off the main power.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Improper usage can cause serious injury to personnel
and/or damage to equipment. For your own safety, please observe
the ff. precautions.
Check each component after opening the package to make sure
●
everything is in good condition. If there are any suspected damage,
do not use the item and report the issue to your vendor.
Turn OFF the main power switch and unplug the device when
●
moving the device from one location to another.
Do not strike or subject the main unit to physical shock. Use
●
carefully to avoid injury and damage to any part.
Handle with care.
●
- Never drop or sharply jolt the unit.
- Contains delicate parts that may break if the unit is dropped.
Make sure the equipment is always grounded. Always connect
●
power to a grounded receptacle.
Temperature may reach as high as 480°C when switched ON.
●
- Do not use the device near flammable gases, paper and other
flammable materials.
- Do not touch heated parts, which can cause severe burns.
- Do not touch metallic parts near the tip.
Disconnect the plug from the power source if the unit will not be
●
used for a long period.
- Turn off power during breaks, if possible.
Use only genuine replacement parts.
●
- Turn off power and let the unit cool before replacing parts.
The unit may produce a small amount of smoke and unusual odor
●
during initial usage. This is normal and should not yield any
negative result when reworking.
Soldering process produces smoke — use on well ventilated place.
●
Do not alter the unit, specifically the internal circuitry, in any
●
manner.
