5. The presence of moisture can cause molten solder to
explode and splatter. Keep workplace and work clean
and dry.
6. Don’t operate with wet hands, it will increase the risk of
electric shock.
FEATURES
1. Designed with electronic control board and high quality
components providing temperature adjustment function
and steady performance.
2. Crucible is made by stainless steel with titanium plating,
featuring corrosion resistance and prolonged service life.
3.Comes with iron chromium aluminum wire heater and
aluminosilicate heat preservation material provides
Keep the solder pot temperature as low as possible to
prolong its service life.
Do not scrub or hit the solder pot with sharp or hard
objects, the surface could be scratched which will cause
corrosion and damage.
OPERATION
When used the first time, the electric heating core could
smoke a little, this is normal.
