3. Safety Information
a. Do not contact the heater or its peripheral parts during operation.
b. Once turned off, let the unit cool completely before contacting.
c. When using fluxes, use fume extraction equipment or use in a well-ventilated area to
minimize operator exposure to fumes. Testing
4. Features
Hot gas assist Effectively pre-heats area to be desoldered, reducing
N2 compatible Reduces/eliminates the need for flux and reduces bridging.
