Hot Air Nozzle - Conrad Electronic Toolcrafr Notice D'emploi

• Clean any flux residue from the soldering tip occasionally (e.g. with a damp sponge). To do this, briefly wipe the
soldering tip.
Do not press the tip into the damp sponge. Never hold the soldering tip against the sponge for too long to
prevent damage to the sponge.
Ensure that the sponge is sufficiently damp. Never clean the soldering tip with a dry sponge!
As an alternative to the sponge, use a separately available dry cleaner.
Mechanical damage to the soldering tip destroys the protective coating and reduces its lifespan. Do not
clean the soldering tip with sharp objects or a metal brush.
• Remove any flux residue from the soldering tip before soldering. Then reapply tin to the soldering tip. Apply a small
amount of tin to the soldering tip, ensuring that the tin forms an even layer on the tip. This prevents corrosion on
the soldering tip.
Then place the soldering iron into the soldering iron holder. Switch off the soldering station.
Risk of burns!
It takes about 10–15 minutes for the soldering iron to cool down completely. Do not touch the soldering tip
or holder during this time.
b) Hot air nozzle
Proceed as described in the previous section above and also observe the following notes:
Risk of burns!
Touch the hot air nozzle only by the plastic handle. Never touch the hot nozzle or the metal shaft.
Never point the hot air jet toward your body.
Risk of fire and explosion!
Never point the hot air jet toward sensitive materials, flammable objects, gases, etc.
Align the hot air flow from the nozzle to the location where the soldering process is to be carried out. The distance
should not be too great (otherwise the hot air will not sufficiently heat the soldering tin). A short distance, however,
must also be avoided. Otherwise, there may be an excessive heating of the component.
