MAINTENANCE: REPLACING CARTRIDGE SEALS

1. Turn off the system and remove the desolder cartridge.
2. Pry out the cartridge seal (at the front end of tool) by gently prying it out with a
small screwdriver, paper clip, or other blunt instrument.
3. Replace the cartridge seal by pushing it in.

MAINTENANCE: REPLACING CHAMBER SEALS

1. Remove the air line and power cord from the
desoldering handle.
2. Open the desoldering handle and lay it down with
the hinge side facing up toward you
3. Before removing the hinge pins, cover the hinge
area with your hand as you remove the top. They
are spring loaded and might shoot out of the tool as
the top is removed. Take the end of a paper clip
and push it into the small hole at the front or rear
of the hinge. This will push the hinge pin into the
tool. You can then wiggle the top of the tool away
from the hinge pin. Repeat this with the other
hinge.
4. Remove the top half of the tool.
5. Remove the solder chamber seal using a knife.
6. To install the new chamber seal, start with a short
side, and use a screwdriver or other blunt tip to
tuck the seal lip into the retaining grove
7. Next, tuck the other short side.
8. Finish with the long sides.
