•
Tip heats intermittently -
Mains cord damaged or a loose connection.
Defective heating element.
•
Tip will not reach set temperature- Temperature requires calibration.
Defective heating element
•
Solder will not wet the tip-
Tip temperature is too high.
Tip is badly oxidized and requires cleaning.
•
Increased resistance between
tip and ground-
Check the tip sleeve nut is tightened.
TROUBLESHOOTING
OPERATION
CALIBRATION
•
Before using the soldering iron for the first time, set up the iron stand by bending
the inner part approximately 80° to form a stable support to rest the iron on.
Setting the temperature:
•
Hold the handle firmly and rotate the control so the arrow points to the marked
temperature required.
•
The control has a distinct detent at each marked increment but it is possible to set
the control in between these for further temperature control.
Note:
calibration may be needed after changing the tip.
•
Set the temperature to 350°C and use a tip thermometer to verify the actual tip
temperature.
•
If the actual temperature is low, rotate the calibration potentiometer clockwise and
if it is high turn it counter clockwise until the tip is within tolerance.
