These instructions detail the basic operational guidelines for using the TT-65
ThermoTweez handpiece.
INTRODUCTION
The ThermoTweez handpiece provides safe, one-handed removal of a wide variety
of "J" Leaded (PLCC), Leadless (LCCC), SOICs, PQFPs, Bumper Packs (BQFPs),
large extended lead (FlatPacks), SMT Connectors and Chip style components in a
matter of seconds. The ThermoTweez's low temperature, high capacity heating can
remove even the largest components quickly and easily. The ThermoTweez is a
member of the PACE SensaTemp family of advanced SMT/Thru-Hole soldering/
desoldering handpieces and works with any PACE SensaTemp power source.
CAUTION
Always use this handpiece in a well ventilated area. A fume extraction
system such as the PACE Arm-Evac is highly recommended to help
protect personnel from solder flux fumes.
NOTE
Remember that the ThermoTweez is primarily a component removal
tool. Also , a ThermoTw eez Cushion Grip Kit (P ACE P/N 6993-0155) is
available f or applications where the handpiece is under continuous use
at high tip temperature settings. This kit provides added comfort to the
user.

HANDPIECE SETUP
HANDPIECE ALIGNMENT
Check the handpiece heaters for proper alignment with each other. Proper
handpiece (and tip) alignment is essential for effective operation.
1. Remove any installed tip halves.
2. With the handpiece at room
temperature, adjust the Heaters parallel
to each other (see Á ) using the Tip Gap
Adjustment Thumb Screw (item À ). If
the heater ends are even with each other,
go to "Power Source Connection". If the
ends are not even, go to step 3.
3. Loosen the handpiece Hinge Screw (item
Â
) 1/2 turn.
4. Holding the handpiece in a vertical
position (heaters facing down), place the
ends of the two Heaters against a hard
flat surface to insure proper alignment.
The Heater ends should be even with
each other and flush against the flat
surface. Gently push the rear of the
handpiece handles to force both Heaters
against the flat surface.
5. Retighten Hinge Screw (item  ) to
secure in position.
