SE ERROR MESSAGE
When the display shows "SE" this means that the heating element
needs to be replaced. The heating element could be worn out or
cracked.
Note that if you run the soldering iron in the 230°C ~ 280°C range,
which is the normal temperature range for most "all" soldering
applications, your heating element should last for 6 to 12 months
depending on hours of use.
*** WARNING: PLEASE DISCONNECT POWER CORD BEFORE
REPLACING A SOLDERING TIP AND/OR A HEATING ELEMENT! ***
Do NOT put excess pressure on the tip. It can damage the element.
REPLACING THE TIP:
1. Turn off the soldering station, unplug the power cord from the
power source and allow the soldering iron to cool down to room
temperature. Never attempt to remove the tip while the iron is
hot.
2. Unscrew the larger metal tip retaining screw ring at the bottom of
the soldering irons metal shaft. Slide off or remove the soldering tip
retaining collar. Now, remove the tip by sliding it forward.
3. Slide a new tip over the exposed ceramic heating element, slide
the metal retaining collar over the new soldering tip back onto the
soldering iron.
4. Tighten the metal tip retaining screw ring to snug the tip into place.
Do not over tighten the tip retaining screw
5. Plug the soldering iron AC cord into a grounded outlet to resume
soldering.
REPLACING THE HEATING ELEMENT:
