- If the soldering iron is used for longer periods we recommend that you clean the tip
occasionally with the cleaning sponge (5) and re-tin the tip if necessary.
Use a de-soldering braid (not supplied) to clean the joint, to de-solder and to remove excess
solder from the joint. Place the de-soldering braid over the excess solder and heat it with
the soldering tip (6). The molten solder flows on to the de-soldering braid.
- The soldering iron must be stored in the soldering iron holder (3) on the soldering stand (2)
during breaks in your work.
- After you finish soldering disconnect the soldering iron from the mains and allow it to cool
down in the soldering iron stand (3).
Caution:
The soldering iron, the soldering tip and the soldering iron holder remain
hot for some time after disconnection from the mains!
