before soldering.
while soldering. Wash your hands with soap and
water when finished.

• Solder melts at 375º F (190º C) and the soldering
gun bit will reach temperatures up to 450º F (230º
C). Wear eye protection, gloves, long pants, and

a long sleeve shirt to protect eyes and hands from
burns and skin rashes.

• DO NOT touch the soldering gun tip until it has
completely cooled. DO NOT allow the soldering
gun tip to rest against anything. When hot, it will
burn whatever it touches.

• Avoid touching the workpiece. The workpiece
can heat up and cause burns. When working with
small parts, use a soldering work stand, hold the
part with pliers

• Keep the solder, flux, and soldering gun out of the
reach of children and pets.

To operate the soldering gun:

1. Plug the soldering gun into a 110V power outlet

and pull the trigger for 6-8 seconds to allow the
gun to heat up.

stantly will cause the gun to overheat and shorten
the lifespan of the soldering gun.

2. Prepare the tip by applying a small amount of
solder to the tip, then spread the solder with a wet
sponge until the solder forms a thin film.

3. Prepare the items to be soldered by brushing on
flux if using non-rosin core solder.

4. Pull the trigger, apply more solder to the tip, then
heat both items equally by touching the soldering
tip to them for a few seconds.

5. Feed the solder into the joint. It will melt and flow
into and around all the parts and areas that are
above the melting point.

6. Remove the solder, then the soldering gun.

Tips: Insufficient solder on the iron causes poor heat

transfer to the joint, resulting in a weak mechanical
and electrical bond. Too much solder results in strings
of solder causing bridges to other contacts. A good
soldered joint should be smooth, shiny, and complete
ly surround the joint.
