Soldering iron tip maintenance
1. Set the temperature to 250
℃
(480
℉
).
2. After the temperature is stable, clean the soldering iron tip with a brass wool and check its condition.
3. If black oxide is attached to it, please apply new solder (including flux) and wipe it repeatedly with a brass wool
until it’s clean, then apply some new solder.
4. If the soldering iron tip has been deformed, perforated or worn out, please replace it with a new one.

Check whether the power
cord is good, or plug falls off
Is the fuse OK
Whether the handle cable is well
connected with main unit
Whether the heater is damaged
(the resistance of the blue lead wire
shall be less than 100 Ω at room
temperature).
If damaged, replace the heater

Check whether the temperature of
the iron tip is too high
Whether the temperature is proper
Is the temperature adjusted correctly
Haven’t done temperature calibration
for a long time
Adjust the set temperature again
Re-calibrate temperature accordingly
Whether there is oxide inside tip, or
soldering iron tip expands
Not original tip or not same type tip
Change the tip and heater
use original factory tip or same type tips
Adjust to the proper temperature

Check whether there is oxide on
the tip

Clean the oxide with a brass wool
If so please replace it with a new handle
Connect the power supply well
Figure out the cause of fuse damage:
1. Short circuit inside the station.
2. Inside the handle, the spring might meets the
heating element.
3. Check whether the pin of heating element is
twisted or short circuited.
Even if the cause is unknown, please replace the
fuse. If the fuse get burnt out again, please return
the handle with the main unit for maintenance.
After the power is on, indicator lights up, and the soldering station starts heating up according to the set
temperature. After the temperature is stable, indicator flashes.
Note: when not in use, please put the soldering iron on the holder. If it won’t used for a while, please cut off the
power supply.
1) Adjust the set temperature to 350
℃
(662
℉
) by knob and wait for 2 minutes to stabilize the temperature.
2) Use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the soldering iron tip.
3) Use a cross screwdriver to adjust the calibration hole to make the displayed temperature value equal to the
measured value. For example, if the measured value is 345
℃
, adjust calibration hole to reduce display
temperature 350 to 345, make the display temperature match the measured value.
4) Press the function key to complete calibration.
