Operation
3. Turn off the soldering station with the mains switch (11) and allow
the unit to fully cool down before storing.
Inserting/Changing the Soldering Tip
Please Note!
Allow the soldering iron to cool down after use before
touching the soldering tip or the heating element. There is risk of Injury!
1. Turn the knurled nut (5) counter clockwise and remove it. Now
gently pull the soldering tip (4) out of the heating element (6).
2. Set the new or the cleaned soldering tip into the heating element as
far as it will go.
3. Firmly screw the knurled nut on the heating element. Do not over
tighten – do not use tools, tighten by hand only.
Only use replacement soldering tips recommended by Westfalia.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Storing
Always keep the soldering tip coated with tin for a long service life.
Clean dirty soldering tips using the moistened cleaning sponge (9)
while the soldering iron is hot.
If the soldering tip became hard to wet, use solder and flux to
reactivate it. Wrap some solder with included flux around the cold tip
and heat the tip until the solder melts.
Regularly clean oxidation off the soldering tip after dismounting with
fine emery paper (600 – 800 grain). This kind of residue also forms
in the heating element – carefully blow out. After cleaning, the
soldering tip must be coated with tin as described above.
