CARE AND MAINTENANCE 1. Tip Temperature : High temperature shortens tip life and may cause thermal shock to components. Always use the lowest possible temperature when soldering. 2. Cleaning : Always clean the soldering tip before use to remove any residual solder or flux adhering to it. 3. After usage: Always clean the tip and coat it with fresh solder after use. This guards against oxidation and pro longs tip life. 4. System Care: Never allow the unit to stay idle at high tem perature for extended periods. Utilize the automated sleep feature to conserve energy, prolong tip and heating ele ment life. If unit will not be used for long periods it is ad vised to power down the unit and unplug from the mains. 5. Inspecting and cleaning the tip: o Set the temperature to 250 C. ◆ When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip and check its ◆ condition. If the tip is badly worn or deformed, replace it. If the solder plated part of the tip is covered with black ox ◆ ide, apply fresh solder containing flux and clean the tip again. Repeat until all the oxide is removed then coat the tip with fresh solder. Never file the tip to remove oxide. ◆ Remaining oxides such as the yellow discoloration on the tip ◆ shaft can be removed with isopropyl alcohol. ...
