3. Place the required amount of solder into the solder bath and turn the unit ON. Ideal solder level is
5mm below the rim of the bath.
4. Following the Control Panel setting procedure, input the temperature settings. This unit is set to
270 °C (518°F) prior to shipment.
5. When the settings are completed the Output Lamp (ot1) will light and temperature control begins. The
solder will melt in 7~8 minutes so put the solder into the pot little by little until it reaches the right level.
When the measured temperature (PV) and the set temperature (SP) are the same, the Output Lamp
(ot1) will flash and the temperature will be stable. The solder will be melted and work can begin
approximately 20 minutes after starting the temperature control. Before dipping, remove the oxidized
solder dross with the spatula and make sure the solder surface is clean.
6. Turn the unit OFF when not in use or when you are away from it.
