Starting-up
Switching on/off and setting the temperature
Switching on and setting the temperature:
switch ❺ in the "I" position .
Plug the mains plug into a suitable mains socket and then put the ON/OFF
Turn the temperature control ❹ to configure it to the desired temperature .
• Remove the protective cap from the soldering tip ❼ before use .
NOTE
using a new soldering tip, the soldering tip ❼ must first be tinned .
• Before starting up the soldering station for the first time and also when
NOTE
• A prerequisite for perfect soldering is the use of a suitable soldering tin .
Perfect soldered joints can only be realised after the correct soldering
temperature has been reached . If the soldering temperature is too low,
the solder will not flow adequately and this will cause poor soldered joints
(so-called cold or dry joints) . In excessive soldering temperatures, the
soldering agent burns and the solder does not flow . This can also destroy
the materials being soldered .
The temperature settings for the most common uses are shown below .
Differences are possible depending on the solder/manufacturer . The different
levels do not have locking functions, which ensures that the setting remains
the same at the selected level . Slight deviations are possible .
Minimum level = room temperature
• Level 1 =
Approx . 100°C – Warm-up stage and for solders with a
correspondingly low melting temperature . Heating-up time:
approx . 1 minutes and 00seconds
• Level 2 =
Approx . 200°C – Melting point of the most frequently used
soft solders .
Heating-up time: approx . 1 minutes and 40 seconds
• Level 3 =
Approx . 300°C – For normal operation, e .g . when using
