Cleaning and Maintenance
For the best result and a long service life always keep the soldering
tip tinned.
Regularly clean dirty soldering tips with a wet soldering sponge or
the
soldering tip cleaner, article number 50 01 40 while
they are hot.
If the soldering tip has became passive and will not take to the
solder easily, take it out of the soldering iron. Thoroughly clean it
with 600
– 800 grid emery cloth. After that the tip must be tinned
again. Roll some solder with a flux core around the tip and heat up
the tip until the solder has molten around the tip. Using additional
colophony may be helpful.
If the tips are finally worn out, replace them to preserve the full
performance of the soldering station.
Please pull the power plug before cleaning and allow it to cool down
fully!
Avoid exerting excessive pressure on the LC display (1).
Use only a stiff brush and a moist cloth to clean the unit and allow it
