ATTACHING THE AIR HOSE TO THE DESOLDER HANDPIECE

NOTE: SAFETY GLASSES SHOULD BE WORN WHEN WORKING WITH ANY COMPRESSED AIR LINES
1. Make sure the system is turned off.
2. Clamp the Desoldering Power Cord to the air line using the clamp, making sure
that the end of the Power Cord is four inches beyond the end of the air line
3. Attach the desoldering air line to the DS1 handpiece by using the swivel fitting. A
wrench is not needed, but the connection should be as tight as your fingers can
make it.
4. Attach the other end of the Air Line to your air supply, using a filter/regulator to
maintain the proper psi. Operating the desoldering tool above 100 psi could cause
the air line to rupture. The tool works best when the air supply is set at 80 psi.
1. Open the handpiece by sliding the top grooved portion forward.
2. Pivot the top of the handpiece open.
3. Apply a thin layer of silicone grease inside
the top of the chamber. This will aid in
keeping the roof of the chamber clear of
incidental solder splatter.
WARNING: SILICONE GREASE CAN CONTAMINATE
SOLDER JOINTS!
4. Inspect the chamber seal to be sure it is
clean and is not cut or damaged.
1. Open the handpiece.
2. Insert a new Chamber Filter in the square
cavity.
3. Insert a new Chamber Liner in the
rectangular cavity. Be sure to orient the tab
toward the back of the handpiece.
