OPERATION:

• Unpack the soldering station and check all parts. Damaged parts must not be put into
operation.
• Put the holding rack for the soldering iron sideways in the soldering station, wet the cle-
aning sponge in the sponge rack with water.
• Put the soldering iron in the holding rack
• Place the soldering station on a solid and dry surface
• Connect the mains plug to a socket and turn on the soldering station by using the power
switch (I=ON/0=OFF).when turned on, the power switch is lit. The LCD screen will show
the set temperature as 300°C.
• Then press the "+" or " –" button under the LCD screen to adjust the temperature. Each
press will be +/- 10°C. Do such pressing until you get your target set temperature. The
soldering iron will reach your target temperature in 10 minutes .
• Wait about 2-3 minutes until the soldering tip reaches the adjusted temperature, test the
temperature by touching the soldering tip with solder, if the solder melts away easily you
can start soldering.
• Tin the hot soldering tip with solder; wipe off excessive solder on the wet cleaning sponge.
• Heat up the soldering location with the soldering tip and add solder.
• Let the soldering point cool down.
• Clean the soldering tip on the wet sponge after each soldering
• After finishing the soldering, put back the soldering iron in the rack and turn off the sol-
dering Station at the main switch.
• Put the soldering iron on the rack to cool down naturally .
• For larger soldering tip adjust the temperature up wards to perform the soldering as fast
as possible and as long as necessary.
• Lower the temperature during breaks, this saves energy and extends the durability of the
soldering tip.
• Do not file off the soldering tip, or it will be damaged.
• Always put the soldering iron on the holding rack when it is heating up or during breaks
from soldering
• Make sure the contracts for soldering on the work place are clean
• Only use solder for electronics. Acidic solder can damage the soldering tip or the work
piece
• Never touch the hot soldering tip.
• Let the soldering iron cool down after use.
• The soldering iron should not be dunked into water
• During breaks, the soldering iron has to be placed in the holding rack.
