Soldering; Changing The Soldering Tip - TOOLCRAFT ZD-8916 Notice D'emploi

• Adjust the temperature based on your solder. For example, if you are using a lead-based solder, select a
temperature between 270–360 °C.
The temperature sensor is built into the heating element (not in the replaceable soldering tip). The soldering
tip may therefore take a moment to heat up to the preset temperature.
• When you have finished using the soldering station, switch it off using the on/off switch (10) (0 = OFF) before
unplugging the mains plug.
d) Soldering
Always use the handle to hold the soldering iron. Never touch the hot soldering tip or the shaft – burn
hazard! Always put the soldering iron on the stand when it is heating up or during breaks from soldering.
Ensure that the soldering contacts on the workpiece are kept clean.
• Apply solder to the heated soldering tip. Wipe off excess solder using the sponge.
• Heat the soldering joint and apply solder.
• Allow the soldering joint to cool down. Do not shake the soldering joint when it is cooling down.
• Use the desoldering pump to remove solder.
• After each solder, clean the soldering tip with the cleaning sponge (6).
• When you have finished soldering, place the soldering iron in the stand and turn the soldering station off with the
on/off switch (I = ON / 0 = OFF) (10)
• Never file the soldering tip, as this may cause permanent damage.
Allow the soldering iron to cool down after use. Do not immerse the soldering tip in water.
• Use the brass wire sponge (9) to clean the soldering tip (after the soldering tip has cooled down). This ensures that
solder remains on the soldering tip and protects the tip against excessive wear.
e) Changing the soldering tip
The soldering tip is subjected to a mechanical load during use, which causes wear and tear. Over time, the soldering
tip will become blunt, meaning that you will not be able to solder precisely on small components. If this occurs, the
soldering tip can be replaced.
Follow the steps below to replace the soldering tip:
• Turn off the soldering station and let the soldering iron cool down completely.
• Loosen the metal nut from the soldering iron (turn clockwise) and remove the sleeve.
• Carefully remove the soldering tip in a straight line from the ceramic heating element on the soldering iron.
• The ceramic heating element must not be subjected to mechanical loads. Damaging the ceramic heating element
will void the warranty/guarantee!
