Supplied with lead
free solder reel - 99%
Sn / 0,3% Ag / 0,7%

Consult our wide range of cartridges with more than 300 references in www.jbctools.com.
For special cartridges contact with our distributor.
Uses C130 cartridge range.

ACCESSORIES (not included)

BE-SA
Solder reel stand
For production-line purposes we
recommend using our BE-SA holder which
allows for solder reels of sizes up to 2.5 Kg
to be used.
Simply wrap a couple of turns of the solder
wire around an empty reel as shown.
Before fitting a new reel, pull out the solder
remaining inside the solder direction tube.
Insert the solder into its hole checking that the
wire becomes straight. Pull the trigger
intermittently until the solder feed system works
by itself.

JBC stations intelligently manage the tool temperature and it helps to extend the tip life:
Heat management increase tip life which reduces cost of ownership.
HEAT MANAGEMENT
Work mode: Lift tool from the stand and the tool tip heats up to the selected temperature.
Sleep mode: When the tool is in the stand, the temperature reduces (preset sleep temperature is
180ºC / 360ºF).
Hibernation mode: After longer periods of inactivity (pre-set to 30 minutes), the power is cut off and
the tool cools down to room temperature.

MAINTENANCE
Prior to maintenance or storage should
disconnect the equipment from the power supply
and let it cool down.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the case and the
tool. Alcohol can be used only to clean the
metal parts.
- Check periodically that the metal parts of the
tool/stand are clean in order to have a good
detection when the tool is in the stand.
- Clean the station’s screen with a glass cleaner
Remove the fuse by pulling the black cap. Help
yourself with a lever tool if necessary.
Place the new fuse into the holder by pushing
and enter it again into the station.
Clean periodically
or a damp cloth.
- Maintain tip surface clean and tinned prior to storage in order to avoid tip oxidation.
Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.
- Periodically check all cables and tubes connected.
- Replace any defective or damaged handpiece or tool.
- Replace the fuse if it is blown according to the following guidelines:
REPAIR
- Repairs should be performed only by a specialist. Otherwise JBC can not rule out the risk of accident.
- JBC offers you a professional after-sales service for your equipment.

SAFETY
- Keep children and non-trained personnel away from the equipment.
- The mains cable must be plugged into approved bases.
- The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use. This way the sleep mode will be activated.
- The soldering tip and the metal part of the tool may still be hot even when the station is turned off.
Handle with care.
- The stand can also be hot as well. To adjust the angle, turn the station off and wait until the cartridge
cools down.
- Be careful with the remains of liquid tin. In contact with skin, it can cause burns.
- Use a “non residue” classified flux and avoid contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
- Do not work on electrically live parts. Antistatic handle of soldering irons is electrically conductive.
- Be careful with the smoke produced when soldering.
- Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when working to avoid any damage.
CAUTION
- Incorrect use of tool may cause fire.
- Be careful when using the tool in areas where inflamable products are stored.
- Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite even when not in sight.
It is imperative to meet the following safety guidelines to protect health and prevent
electric shock, injury, fire or explosions.
