Maintenance and cleaning

8. Maintenance and cleaning
8.1 Important care work
The following points must be complied with to achieve a long lifetime of the station.
■
Always make sure that the soldering and desoldering tips are tin coated. A contin-
uously cleaned soldering tip will become passive after a short while. If you always
leave a small amount of solder on the soldering tip after soldering, you will extend
service life many times over.
■
If necessary wipe the soldering and desoldering tip against a moist sponge or pierce
it into the dry cleaner before the soldering or desoldering process, in order to re-
move old solder and flux material residues.
■
If necessary, give the soldering tip a wipe just before soldering.
■
To achieve good electric and heat conductivity, the tip should be occasionally re-
moved and the heating element cleaned with a brass brush.
■
Take care that the ventilation openings on the station will not lose their effect be-
cause of dust deposits.
