4.INITIAL SETUP
A. Setup the iron holder
1. Fit the small sponge pieces into the hollows of the iron holder base.
2. Add an appropriate amount of water into the iron
holder base. The small sponge will absorb water
and help keep the large sponge damp at all times.
3. Dampen the large sponge and place it on the
iron holder base.
CAUTION
Be sure the sponge is moistened with water
before use to avoid damaging the tip.
*When using a Cleaning Wire
Place it in the iron holder as shown on the right. See
"2.Using a Cleaning Wire" in section "7. MAINTENANCE"
B. Connect the iron to the station
CAUTION
Be sure to turn off the power before connecting or
disconnecting the cord assembly for the iron to and
from the receptacle to avoid damaging the circuit board.
1. Connect the cord assembly to the receptacle.
CAUTION
Do not use any iron other than those listed in Section 1 of this
manual. Doing so may result in inadequate performance and / or
possible damage to the unit.
2. Place the iron into the iron holder.
3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate power supply.

5. OPERATION
● Performing the temperature adjustment
When replacing the iron, heater or tip, a temperature adjustment may be required.
Use Adjustment Mode to perform the temperature adjustment.
CAUTION
• Enter the observed value in the adjustment mode after the tip temperature stabilizes.
• The maximum single adjustment that can be made is ±270℉ (150℃) relative to the set temperature.
If a larger adjustment is needed, make the first adjustment at the maximum value of 270℉ (150℃),
then repeat the adjustment process.
Example : If the measured temperature is 760℉,
and the set temperature is 800℉.
1. Press and hold the button down
for at least two seconds.
● The hundreds digits in the display will begin
