element from overheating and breaking down.
5. When using the soldering iron for the first time, be sure to allow
the iron to come to proper temp and then clean and tin the tip to
provide longer life expectancy.
6. When "---" is displayed on the LED display, this means that the
outlet temperature of the hot air gun is below 100°C, the handle
has been properly replaced into the holster, and that the unit is in
standby mode.
7. Do not use excessive force when installing/removing the hot air
nozzles or soldering iron tips.
8. Do not over-tighten the bolt on the hot air attachments.
9. Store the spare heating elements in a cool, dry, safe place to
avoid damage for future use. The ceramic heating elements are
extremely fragile.
10. Upon first use, the tube on the soldering iron may discolor a bit
due to the combination of the material composition and high
heat. This is perfectly normal.
11. Upon first use, white smoke may be visible from the hot air gun
and will go away shortly after heating. If the unit keeps smoking,
refer to the troubleshooting section or contact the manufacturer.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Never use the soldering iron or the hot air gun near any
flammable substance, material, or gas.
2. Never touch the metallic components of the soldering iron or hot
air gun while in use. The items may be extremely hot and will
cause serious burns instantly. Allow the unit to properly cool to
room temperature before attempting to touch them.
3. Never point the hot air gun towards any flammable material
or human skin. There is very hot air exiting the outlet that may
cause serious burns or damage.
4. Do not use pliers or any other tool to manipulate the hot air
nozzles.
5. Do not try to reform the nozzle attachments into other shapes.
