Hints and Tricks

 Tip oxidation removal:
Firstly, clean the tip using a wet sponge then clean with wire brush. Secondly, use
a tip re-activator chemical to remove hard residues and oxidation, and finally re-
tinning using solder wire (flux cored).
 Make sure that the tip type is compatible to the application – as explained above
in tip selection section – with the solder material mass to avoid process failure,
tip damage and oxidation.
 Apply the tip to small part of solder wire before you start soldering or de-
soldering.
 Wet the sponge by distilled water.
Note: Sulfur and other minerals in Tap-water cause fast tip oxidation.
 Keeping the tip clean and shine, enhances the sensitivity and performance of the
tip.
