De-Soldering; Maintenance, Cleaning, Storage And Transport - Rothenberger Industrial HS-060Y Mode D'emploi

Maintenance, cleaning, storage and transport

Before starting work on the a particular workpiece and/or type of
material, check for suitability by testing the soldering iron on a
similar piece of (scrap) material.
• Clean the parts to be joined before soldering.
• Touch the edge of the appropriate flux-cored solder wire to the end of
the soldering tip , to melt the solder wire. The workpiece is coated with
the flux, which flows out of the solder wire, allowing the solder to join the
metal.
• If the soldering iron is used for longer periods we recommend that you
clean the tip occasionally with the cleaning sponge and re-tin the tip if
necessary.

De-soldering

Use a de-soldering braid or a de-soldering pump (neither of them are
included with the supply) to clean the joint, to de-solder and to remove
excess solder from the joint.
De-soldering braid (not included in the supply):
• Place the de-soldering braid over the solder to be removed and heat it
with the soldering tip. The melting solder is soaked up by the de-soldering
braid.
De-soldering pump (not included in the supply):
• Heat the solder to be removed with the soldering tip. Once the solder
melts, activate the de-soldering pump. The suction force removes the
solder.
