Inserting/Changing the Soldering Tip

Please Note! Allow the soldering iron to cool down after use before touching
the soldering tip or the heating element. There is risk of Injury!
1. Turn the knurled nut (5) counter clockwise and remove it. Now gently pull
the soldering tip (4) out of the heating element (6).
2. Set the new or the cleaned soldering tip into the heating element as far as it
will go.
3. Firmly screw the knurled nut on the heating element. Do not over tighten –
do not use tools, tighten by hand only.
Only use replacement soldering tips recommended by Westfalia.

Maintenance, Cleaning and Storing

 Always keep the soldering tip coated with tin for a long service life.
 Clean dirty soldering tips using the moistened cleaning sponge (9) while
the soldering iron is hot.
 If the soldering tip became 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.
 Regularly clean oxidation off the soldering tip after dismounting with fine
emery paper (600 – 800 grain). This kind of residue also forms in the
heating element – carefully blow out. After cleaning, the soldering tip must
be coated with tin as described above.
 Change corroded or burnt soldering tips in time to keep the unit in good
working order. Replacement tips can be purchased from Westfalia.
 Always pull the power plug before cleaning and allow the unit to cool down
completely!
