Unit
1. Keep the unit plugged into a GROUNDED outlet at all times
during operation.
2. Keep the unit and all components free from dirt, debris, and
liquid at all times.

safely off the floor to prevent accidents.
4. All cords should be kept in immediate workspace. Avoid letting
them hang off the side of a table or bench top.
5. As needed, wipe the unit down with dry static free cloth.
Soldering Tip Care
1. On the first use, allow the tip to come up to a stable temperature,
clean the tip on a damp sponge and tin the tip (apply a small
amount of fresh solder to the tip).
2. Never hit the soldering iron or tip on anything to remove excess
solder.
3. Do not use an extreme temperature with soldering iron tips.
Doing so will shorten the life span of the tip.
4. Clean the tip before each use.
5. Always clean and re-tin the tip after each use.This will aid in the
prevention of oxidation on the tip and help extend its life span.
6. Do not allow the soldering iron or tips to sit idle at high
temperatures for extended amounts of time.
7. Never use a file or other abrasive materials to remove oxidation
from the tips.
8. To remove oxidation, simply flood the tip with fresh solder and
wipe clean on a damp sponge, this may need to be repeated
several times for badly oxidized parts.
9. To remove the yellowing on the tip shaft, clean with 90%
Isopropyl alcohol.
Install/Remove Soldering Iron Tip
