Thank you for your purchase of the DIG SC7000 high-performance desoldering tool as one of your auxilary service
maximum performance from you! instrument we suggest
the tool. This basic technical Sheet will help you to better understand the features. advantages. and maintenance
necessary to keep your instrument functioninu efficiently.
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. Then set power switch, located on the bottom of handgrip, to
"ON" position and allow instrument to warm up for a few minutes.
a) When the instrument is operated the first time fumes may develop in the area of the heater holder. This
is normal and is caused by the protective coating burning off of the healing element.
Set the temperature control knob to Suit the application. for standard desoldering procedures, it is advisable
to choose a position between 38OC and 4ODC: when working on multilayer P.C.B applications the most
satisfactory results will be obtained at temperatures ranging from 42OC to 45OC.

when the felt in the filter cartridge becomes dirty the suction effect of the system will decrease. it is
recommended that the filter cartridge be changed when between One-fourth and one-half of the filter shows
a build up of impurities.

If the bore of the desoldering tip becomes clogged with flux and/or solder and causes a decrease in suction
performance it is necessary then to cleaf the channel in a ha&d condition. using the cleaning pin set.
Note:
The instrument is delivered with a cleaning pin set composed of 3 different pin diameters to be used
followed by the

Never attempt to wash or rinse a dirty filter in any kind volatile Solvent. as this may decrease the performa
of the instrument and may piesent an explosive hazard.
To avoid damage to heating element (from thermal shock) never use waler or any other coolant on hea
section or tip.
Excessive shock and vibration to the instrument itself may also damage the heating element.
