have these tools already you can pick them up at your local Radio Shack store for around
10.00.
We highly recommend the 15, 25, or 30 watt soldering irons. All three will work perfectly.
Safety precautions
• Never touch the element or tip of the soldering iron.
• They are very hot (about 400°C) and will give you a nasty burn.
• Always return the soldering iron to its stand when not in use.
• Never put it down on your workbench, even for a moment!
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
Preparing the soldering iron
• Plug the soldering iron in.
• Wait a few minutes for the soldering iron to warm up.
• You can check if it is ready by trying to melt a little solder on the tip.
• Wipe the tip of the iron on a damp sponge.
• This will clean the tip.
• Melt a little solder on the tip of the iron.
• This is called 'tinning' and it will help the heat to flow from the iron's tip to the joint. It only
needs to be done when you plug in the iron, and occasionally while soldering if you need to
wipe the tip clean on the sponge.
