Maintaining The Soldering Iron; Cleaning - Wetekom JLT-01 Bedienungsanleitung

2. Insert a new or cleaned tip as far as it will go into the heater. Screw the
knurled nut barrel assembly to the heater. Do not use a tool to tighten the
knurled nut, only screw by hand.

Maintaining the Soldering Iron

Dismount and clean the tip every twenty hours of use. If an oxide film is
formed on the tip, it can be cleaned by lightly rubbing with fine 600 – 800
grit emery cloth.
An oxide film can also be formed inside the iron retainer. Remove any
loose stains by carefully blowing out.
After thoroughly cleaning the tip, apply some solder and keep the
soldering tip tinned for a long service life. To remove surplus solder, heat
up and wipe the tip with a wet soldering sponge in the tray (4).
If the soldering tip becomes hard to wet, use solder and flux to reactivate
it. Wrap some solder with included flux around the cold tip and heat the tip
until the solder melts.
Change corroded or burnt soldering tips in time to keep the unit in good
working order. Replacement tips can be purchased under the blow men-
tioned article numbers.
