TIPS ON USING YOUR SOLDERING IRON
1. Select the proper solder for your application. Most solders sold today have the flux
inside their cores. When makina electric or electronic connections always use rosin core
solder. For mechanical joining where the surfaces can be washed after
solder can be used. Common nonplumbing solder is an alloy of tin and lead. A "60-40"
solder is 60% tin and 40% lead. General purpose solders
63-37 solder has the lowest melting temperature and highest strength. The diameter of
the solder wire should generally match the

the
thoroughly cleaned by using abrasives such as emery cloth, steel wool or by scraping
or filing. The flux in the solder will remove the oxide layers which could prevent good
bonding.
NOTE: New units are shipped untinned. Remove plating at end of tip before tinning.
3. BE SURE THE TIP OF THE
WITH SOLDER). The solder on the
path for thehkt to;&$ the work$ece. A small additional 'ambunt of solder may be
added to the tip while it is in contact with the workpiece to ensure good heat conduction.
4. If possible connect the workpieces mechanically, or position them as rigidly as possible.
5. Allow the soldering iron to heat sufficiently:
optimum operating temperature.
6. Apply the heated tip of the soldering iron directly to the work. Heat the work surfaces
sufficientlv for the solder to melt on them. Aoolv the solder to the work surface directlv.
Do not juit melt the solder on the tip of the irori allowing it to fall onto the work. This
will cause poor bonding between the solder and the surfaces to be joined. Remove the
quickly after the solder flows on the work surfaces.
