MAINTENANCE: CLEANING THE COLLECTION CHAMBER
WARNING: ALTHOUGH THE DESOLDER TOOL CAN BE OPENED AND CLEANED
WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ON, THE CARTRIDGE WILL BE HOT. USE EXTREME
CAUTION WHEN OPENING THE TOOL SO AS TO AVOID BURNING YOUR
FINGERS OR HAND ON THE EXPOSED CARTRIDGE
1. Open the Desoldering Handle and
remove the Chamber Liner. The liner
has a convenient lift-out tab to
facilitate removal.
2. In addition to replacing the Chamber
Liner when full, you should
periodically scrape any solder or resin
from the inside of the upper half of the
handle in the area around the
Cartridge tailpipe.
3. Apply a layer of silicone grease to the
surface after it is scraped clean.
Check that the chamber seal surface is clean before closing the handle.
4. Two cleaning brushes are included with your system. Use these with Isopropyl
Alcohol or detergent to clean flux and solder residue from the chamber and
cartridge seals.
NOTE: SILICONE GREASE WILL CONTAMINATE ELECTRONIC CONNECTIONS
AND SHOULD BE USED WITH CARE AROUND ELECTRONIC PARTS.
The Venturi Filter will collect resins and will need to be replaced as often as use dictates. After
time, the passageways below the filter will
also clog with resin. When this happens,
follow the procedure below.
1. Open the Desoldering Handle
and remove the chamber filter.
2. Squirt flux cleaner in the
passage, and then pull the
trigger to suck the solvent
through the Venturi. Repeat
until Venturi is clear.
MAINTENANCE: REPLACING THE VENTURI
If vacuum is still low after checking and cleaning the
Venturi, it will have to be replaced.
1. Open the Desoldering Handle.
2. Remove the Chamber filter.
3. Use an appropriate slotted screwdriver to
remove the Venturi cartridge. The cartridge
should screw out normally. Do not force.
4. Use a torque driver to install the Venturi
Cartridge to a torque of 10 to 15 inch-
pounds.
