10. Maintenance and Care
•
The soldering station requires no servicing apart from replacing the soldering tip, the sponge or fuse now and then.
Servicing or repair must only be carried out by a specialist.
•
Before cleaning, switch off the soldering station and disconnect it from the mains voltage; pull the mains plug from
the mains socket.
•
Let the soldering gun and the soldering station cool off entirely.
•
The outside of the soldering station should only be cleaned with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
•
Never use any aggressive cleansing agents or chemical solutions since these may damage the casing (discoloura-
tion) or impair its function.
• The soldering tip does not require any special cleaning. It is sufficient to clean it of flux agent residue or excess
solder now and then at the moist sponge while soldering.
•
Before switching off the soldering station, the soldering tip must be tinned well. This prevents corrosion of the
soldering tip.
