Maintenance - jbc AL-2A User Manual

Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance, always allow the equipment to cool.
- Clean the station screen with a glass cleaner
or a damp cloth.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the casing and
the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean
the metal parts.
- Periodically check that the metal parts of
the tool and stand are clean so that the
station can detect the tool status.
- Maintain tip surface clean and tinned prior
to storage in order to avoid tip oxidation.
Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat
transfer to the solder joint.
- Periodically check all cables and tubes.
- Replace a blown fuse as follows:
1. Pull off the fuse holder and remove the
fuse. If necessary use a tool to lever it off.
- Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only.
- Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.

Safety
It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric
shock, injury, fire or explosion.
- Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause fire.
- The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Be sure that it is properly grounded
before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.
- Do not work on electrically live parts.
- The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode.
The soldering tip, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot even when the station is
turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the stand position.
- Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
- Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite.
- Use a "non residue" classified flux and avoid contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
- Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.
- Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protective glasses and gloves when
working to avoid personal harm.
- Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.
