Ⅸ. Care and Maintenance

9.1 Maintenance of the Soldering Iron

9.1.1 Tip’s using caution

1. High soldering temperature can degrade the function of the tip and use the tip with the lowest possible
soldering temperature. The excellent thermal recovery characteristics ensure efficient and effective soldering
event at low temperatures. This also can protect the sensitive components from thermal damage.

2. When using the soldering iron continuously, be sure to loosen the tip and remove all oxides on the tip at least
once a week. This helps prevent reducing of the tip temperature.

3. Never keep the soldering iron at high temperature for a long time when not using,. Because the tip will be
covered with oxide that can greatly reduce the tip's heat conductivity.

4. Wipe the tip and coat it with fresh solder after using. This helps to prevent tip oxidation.

5. Clean the tip regularly with a cleaning sponge. Oxides and carbides deriving from the solder and the flux can
form impurities on the tip. These impurities can result in defective joints or reduce the heating conductivity of
the tip.

6. Use fine tips only when necessary. The plating on fine tips is less durable than the plating of the blunter tips.

7. Do not use the tip as a detecting tool. Bending the tip can cause the plating to crack and shorten the tip’s life.

8. Use the minimum activation flux necessary to do the job. Higher activation flux is more corrosive to the tip
plating.

9. Don’t apply pressure to the tip. More pressure does not equal more heat. To improve heat transfer, use solder
to form a thermal bridge between the tip and the solder joint.

9.1.2 Check and Clean the Tip

1. Set the temperature to 250℃.

2. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip with the cleaning sponge and check the condition of the tip.

3. If there is black oxide on the solder-plated portion of the tip, coat new solder (containing flux) and then wipe
the tip on the cleaning sponge. Repeat until the oxide is completely removed and then coat with the new
solder.

4. If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new one.

9.1.3 Renew a de-tinned tip

1. Why does a de-tinned tip fail to work?

A de-tinned tip is one not wetted with solder. This exposes the plating to oxidation and degrades the heat
transfer efficiency of the tip.

2. Detinning is caused by:

(1) Failure to keep the tip coating with fresh solder while not in using.
(2) High temperatures.
(3) Insufficient melting in soldering operations.
(4) Wiping the tip on dirty or dry sponges or rags. (It should use a clean, wet, industrial grade, sulfur-free

sponge.)

(5) There are impurities in the solder, iron plating, or on the surfaces to be soldered.

3. Renew a de-tinned tip

(1) Remove the tip from the handle after the tip cooling down.
(2) Remove the dirty and oxides from the tip with 80-grit abrasive polyurethane foam stock or a 100-grit

emery.

(3) Wrap the stannum including rosin (φ0.8mm or larger) around the newly exposed iron surface, insert the

tip into the handle, and turn on the power switch.

CAUTION:

z Never file the tip to remove oxide.
z Proper daily care can prevent the tip from de-tinned.

9.1.4 Check and Replace the Soldering Iron

When there is something wrong with soldering iron, you can check and test it. If it is broken, replace the broken
element.

9.1.4.1 Check the Soldering Iron

Pull out the plug and measure the resistance value between the pins of the connecting plug when the heating
element cooling down to the room temperature.
(1) If the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’ are different from the values in the following table, replace the heating element or

sensor or cord assembly. Refer to the following steps.

(2) If the value of ‘c’ is over the below value, remove lightly the oxidation in the joint part of the tip and the heat

element with sandpaper or steel wool.

a. Between pins 4&5 (Heating Element)

Under 4Ω(Normal)

b

. Between pins 1&2 (Sensor)

Under 10Ω

c. Between pins 3& Tip

9.1.4.2 Disassembly the Soldering Iron Handle

1. Turn the power switch off and disconnect the power plug. Disconnect the handle connector fro m the station,
and disassemble it after it cooling down.

2. Pull out the tip①. Turn anticlockwise the ring② and take it down.

3. Pull out the inlay piece③ towards the tip way.

4. Take out the heater element⑥

from the iron handle⑾ towards the tip way.

5. Push the handle cord⑩

forward lightly, until the connection cord PCB⑨ has been push out.

6. Don’t use metal tools such as pliers to remove the heater element or the tip enclosure from the handle instead
of using heat resistant pad.

9.1.4.3 Checking the Heating Element

Measure the heating element when it comes back to room temperature:

1. Resistance value of heating element (cord shield) under 4Ω.

2. Resistance value of sensor (Red and Green wire) under 10Ω.

3. If the resistance value isn’t normal, replace the heating element.

9.1.4.4 Change the Heating Element or the Sensor

1. Measure the resistance values between pin4 and pin1 or pin4 and pin2, between pin5 and pin1 or pin5 and
pin2, between pin6 and pin1 or pin6 and pin2, between pin6 and pin4 or pin6 and pin5. If they are not ∞, the
heating element and sensor or vibrator switch are touched. This will damage the PCB.

2. Measure the resistance value ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ (refer to the above form) to confirm that the leads are not twisted
and that the grounding wire is properly connected.

3. Ensure the pins have inserted to the end.

9.1.4.5 Check the Handle Cord of the Soldering Iron

Check the resistance between the pins of the plug and the wires on the terminal. The value should be 0. If it is
greater than 0 or is ∞, the cord should be replaced.

Pin1: Blue Pin2: Red

Pin3: Green Pin4: Shielded Conductor

Pin5: Lining of the Shielded Conductor (White) Pin6: White

9.2 Maintenance and servicing of the De-soldering Gun

Diameter of hole is widened through erosion.

Solder plating

Properly maintained, the de-soldering gun should provide years of good service. Efficient de-soldering depends on
the temperature, and the quality and quantity of the solder and flux. Perform the following service procedures as
indicated by the conditions of the gun’s usage.

WARNING:

Since the de-soldering gun can reach a very high temperature, please work carefully. Except when cleaning
the nozzle and heating element, always turn the power switch off and disconnect the power plug before
performing any maintenance procedure.

9.2.1 Daily maintenance

1. Clean the solder and flux in the suction and the hea ter el em ent.

2. After cleaning the suction nozzle with the sponge, coat a ne w solder at its plate to protect the solder plate.

3. The filter is expendable, and it often should be replaced to ensure the suction is normal. Pull out the hose each
side filter take out it, replace a new one (refer to the connection).

9.2.2 Servicing the de-soldering gun

CAUTION:

The de-soldering gun will be extremely hot. During the maintenance, please wear gloves and
work carefully.

1. Inspect and clean the nozzle.

(1) Plug in the power cord, turn the power switch on and let the nozzle heat up.
(1) Clean out the hole of the nozzle heat up.
(2) Check the condition of the solder plating on the tip of the nozzle. If it is slightly worn, recoat the tip

with fresh solder to prevent oxidation.

(3) Check the condition of the surface and inside hole of the nozzle. If either is worn or eroded, or the inside

diameter seems unusually wide, replace the nozzle.

Note: The cleaning pin will not pass through the nozzle until the solder inside the nozzle is completely

melted. Please use the proper sized cleaning pin for the nozzle diameter.

CAUTION:

z Unfortunately, it is often difficult to observe this condition. Therefore, if desoldering efficiency goes

down and all other parts run in well, the nozzle is probably eroded and should be replaced.

z The inside hole and the surface of the nozzle is plated with a special alloy. Should this alloy become

eroded by high-temperature solder, the nozzle will not be able to maintain the proper temperature.

2. Disassemble the heating element

Remove the nut with the heat resistant pad.

The cleaning pin passes completely through the hole.

3. Clean out the hole in the heating element with the provided cleaning pin.

Be sure the solder in the hole in the heating element is completely heated before cleaning the hole.

CAUTION: If the cleaning pin cannot pass through the hole, replace the heating element.

4. Replace the filters.

(1) Turn off the power switch.
(2) When the filter pipe is cool down to the room temperature and can be touched, push down the release

knob at the back of the gun and remove the filter pipe.

(3) Inspect the front holder: if the front holder is stiff and cracked, replace a new one.
(4) Inspect the spring filter: the spring filter must replace a new one if it has collected two-part solder.
(5) Inspect the ceramic paper filter（S）. the ceramic paper filter（S）must replace a new one when it is stiff

with flux and solder.

CAUTION:

The filter pip is very hot during the work. The filter change must be done after it has cooled down.
