OPERATING
THE STATION
The 3 very important factors involved when working with the Hot Air Station are
amount of air output, temperature setting and type of Tip used. The key to an
effective soldering is to reow the solder without blowing the solder across the
board and thus creating bridges.
CAUTION: DO NOT POINT TOOL AT ANYONE OR ANYWHERE.
HOT AIR WILL BURN !!!
1. Make sure the station is plugged into a 120V power outlet.
2. Turn on Power Switch .
3. Set Temperature Control Knob to around 600°F.
4. Allow Tool to heat up.(Blinking Neon Lamp means ready.)
5. Turn on Pump.
Set the Air Control Valve to a full counter clockwise position.
This will be our reference setting which is 100%. Turning it the
other way will mean less air output.

OPERATION
The 3 very important factors involved when working with the ATMOSCOPE SMD Hot Air Tool are amount
of air output, temperature setting and type of Tip used. The key to an effective soldering is to reow the
solder without blowing the solder across the board and thus creating bridges.
1. Have the proper Tip installed.
2. Connect Hose to regulated air source.
3. Plugged-in Tool to a power source and set
desired temperature.
4. Turn on the air and adjust pressure .
5. Direct hot air towards the connection until
solder melts. Using "SMD helpers" will make
your job easier.
CHANGING TIPS
1. Turn Tip counter-clockwise by using a WT618 Tip
Wrench. (set of 2, the other is to hold the RS321
Retaining Sleeve) or use a WT620.
2. Remove and replace with desired Tip.
Efciency is greatly dependent on choosing the proper tip to meet each
application.
Cut thru the connection with a
pull wire or shim blade while
hot air melts the solder.
