Nitrogen Handles features

These are for working in an oxygen-free atmosphere providing better quality soldering. They
offer extra heat to the solder joint and help prevent oxidation. The JBC GN-A Nitrogen Generator
Module or an external nitrogen feed is needed at the operator’s bench.

Maintenance

- Before carrying out maintenance, always unplug the stand and the tool.

- Check periodically that the metal par ts of the tool and the stand are clean to ensure detection of
the tool when it is in the stand. Use a damp cloth or alcohol.

- Periodically check all cables and tubes connections.

- Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only. Repairs should only
be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.

Replacing grips

Easily replace the Grips (Ref. 0016057 and Ref. 0018658) using the slide-on tabs.

Before replacing the grip, unplug the power supply and make sure the device is not hot.

Insert the slide-on tabs into
the new grip.

Push the grip with the tabs
onto the handle.

Hold the grip and pull them
out. Use a pliers if necessary.

Replacing Seals

The Seal is meant to prevent undesirable flux vapors or particles from entering inside the tool. Its
usage is highly recommended for intensive applications when soldering in exposed to FOD environ­ments or for applications where the soldering iron works close to vertical position.

Before replacing the seal, unplug the power supply and make sure the device is not hot.

2. Mounting position 3. Inserting the Seal1. Removing the Seal

Enter a small shaft or screw­driver in order to gently lift
and pull the Seal.
Do not insert the tool more
than 8 mm deep.
Never use a cartridge to do
this operation.

Notes

Safety

It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric
shock, injury, fire or explosion.

- Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause fire.

- The power cable must be plugged into approved bases. Make sure that it is properly grounded
before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.

- Do not work on electrically live parts.

- The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode.
The soldering tip, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot after the station
is turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the stand position.

- Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.

- Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite.

- Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation

- Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.

- Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when
working to avoid personal harm.

- Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.

- This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight as well as persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lacking experience provided that they have been given
adequate supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance and understand the hazards
involved. Children must not play with the appliance.

- Maintenance must not be carried out by children unless supervised.
