9. TIP CARE AND USE
Tip temperature
Cleaning
When not in use
After use
High soldering temperatures can degrade the tip. Use the lowest
possible soldering temperature. The excellent thermal recovery
characteristics ensure efficient and effective soldering even at low
temperatures. Low temperatures also protect the soldered items
from thermal damage.
Clean the tip regularly with a cleaning sponge, as oxides and
carbides from the solder and flux can from impurities on the tip.
These impurities can result in defective joints, of reduce the tip’s
heat conductivity.
When using the soldering iron continuously, be sure to loosen the
tip and remove any oxide at least once a week. This helps prevent
seizure and reduction of the tip temperature.
Never leave the soldering iron sitting at a high temperature for
long periods, as the tip’s solder plating will become covered with
oxide, which can greatly reduce the tip’s heat conductivity.
Wipe the tip clean and coat it with fresh solder.
This helps prevent tip oxidation.
10. MAINTENANCE
Inspect and clean the
tip
1. Set the temperature to 250
°
C (482
°
F)
2. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip with the cleaning
sponge and check the condition of the tip.
3. If there is black oxide on the solder-plated portion of the tip,
apply new flux-contained solder and wipe the tip on the
cleaning sponge. Repeat until the oxide is completely removed.
Coat with new solder.
CAUTION
Never file the tip to remove oxide.
4. If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new
one.
