Operation Of The Device

•
Carefully tin the soldering tip before using it for the first time. To do this, switch on
the soldering station and allow some solder to melt into a thin, coherent film on the
soldering tip at a temperature of approximately 200 °C.
•
The correct soldering temperature is decisive for the quality of the solder joints. In
the electronics sector the usual soldering temperature is between 300 °C and
380 °C.
•
If the soldering tip temperature is too low, it will lead to "cold" solder joints and poor
solder flow. If the temperature is too high, it will lead to excessive heating of the
solder joint and burning of the flux with a strong, harmful smoke development.
•
Do not select a soldering temperature higher than 410°C for normal soldering. Such
a temperature may only be used for a short time and for special soldering on large-
area, appropriately cooled parts. There is a high risk of damage to components and
board!
•
Immediately before soldering, wipe off the soldering tip on the moistened cleaning
sponge. Residues from incompletely evaporated flux, oxides and other impurities
are removed by this and can thus no longer reach the soldering point.
•
Before you put the soldering iron back into the holder after soldering, the soldering
tip must be cleaned again and tinned with a little solder. It is important that the
soldering tip is always wetted with solder, otherwise it will become passive after
some time and will no longer accept solder.
