Adaption Possibility for Left Handers
Through detaching the 4 flange screws (see page 47) the desoldering iron can be twisted against the
handle by 120°.
As soon as the screws are removed, only turn the desoldering iron but do no draw out of the handle as
this could damage the heating element.
After twisting the desoldering iron by 120°, fasten the flange-screws. Now the desoldering iron is ready
for use with the left hand.
Cleaning, maintenance DSX 80
To achieve good desoldering results it is important to clean the desoldering head regularly. This includes
emptying the solder collecting container, replacing the glass tube filter, as well as checking the seals.
Correct sealing of the front faces of the glass cylinder ensures full suction performance. Dirty filters
affect the air flow rate through the desoldering tool.
Various suction nozzles solve many desoldering problems. A suitable tool for changing the suction nozzle
is integrated into the cleaning tool (T005 13 500 99). The suction nozzles can be straightforwardly and
quickly changed using a short rotational movement (approx. 45°C). When inserting and locking the
suction nozzle, press gently against the heater element.
Only change and clean suction nozzles when hot. To clean the suction nozzle bore and the suction tube,
use the cleaning tool.
In the case of heavy deposits of dirt in the cone area, it is not possible to insert a new suction nozzle.
These deposits can be removed using the cleaning insert
(T005 87 067 94) for the heater element cone.

4. Repair of Defects
Defect: Desoldering iron does not heat.
Trouble Shooting: Disconnect iron from power supply and check with ohmmeter at the plug.
Pin
1.-2. Heater DS 80 = 6,2 ohm
3.-4. Sensor 22 ohm
5. Potential balance zero ohm against tip ground
6. Fingerswitch - operated zero ohm
7. Encoder pin for 80 Watt tools
If sensor or heater are interrupted remove cap of fingerswitch, detach 3 flange screws and pull out the
heating element.
Check sensor and heater at the terminal once more. If there is any interruption replace heating
element.
