CALIBRATION FUNCTION When is it time to Calibrate your Soldering Station? All X-Tronic Soldering Stations come with a high quality ceramic heating element in the soldering iron that is calibrated to within ±1.8°F/1.0°C of the temperature that is shown on the LED Display.

The age of the heating element, the hours of use, and the temperature at which the soldering iron is regularly used will affect the life of the heating element and can cause fatigue. When a heating element begins to fatigue, the heat that is transferred to the soldering tip from the heating element will begin to drop.
MAINTENANCE SOLDERING TIP CARE 1. For first use, allow the tip to rise to a stable temperature. Clean the tip on the damp sponge and tin the tip (apply a small amount of fresh solder to the tip). 2. The soldering iron should be run in the 330°C ~ 360°C range for regular use, which is the normal temperature range for most soldering applications.
REPLACING THE FUSE Fuse Clip Fuse Compartment Extra Fuse Compartment Fuse 1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. 2. Remove the fuse compartment by pressing a flat head screwdriver into the divot just inside the power socket under the fuse compartment.
