Do not use flux containing chloride or acid. Use only resinous fluxes.
If an oxide film has formed, you should remove it by buffing carefully
with a 600-800 grit emery cloth or by using isopropyl alcohol and
consequently applying a new protective layer of solder.
Set the desired temperature after allowing the unit to idle at 250°C for
three minutes. The station will be ready for use once the set
temperature is reached.
Wet the sponge with nothing but water.
IMPORTANT
Remove and clean the tip daily. Remove excess solder from the barrel nut
assembly when installing a new tip,

Maintenance
Note: Always shut off the soldering station and disconnect it from the
mains before cleaning and changing the soldering tip. Make sure the
soldering iron has cooled down and has reached room temperature;
otherwise it can cause severe burns! Damage to the soldering station
may occur if the system is left on and the removed tip has not been
replaced.
Unscrew the coupling nut on the soldering iron and remove the
soldering tip. Clean off the rust which may have formed in the cylinder.
Don't ever try to remove the soldering tip during use (burn hazard). If
the soldering tip should loosen during use, turn off the soldering station
and let the soldering iron cool down until it has reached room
temperature. Then tighten the coupling nut.
After removing the tip, you should blow out any oxide dust that may
have formed in the tip receptacle. Be careful not to get dust in your
eyes. Replace the tip and tighten the screw. Pliers can be used to avoid
contact with hot surfaces BUT SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION
because over-tightening may cause damage to the element or fuse the
tip to the element.
The outer cover of the iron and station may be cleaned with a damp
cloth using small amounts of liquid detergent. Never submerse the unit
in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the case of the station. Never use
any solvent to clean the case.
If the iron or station should become faulty or, for some reason does not
operate normally, the system should be returned to the service
department of your authorized dealer or service agent.
