SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Warnings and cautions are placed at critical points in this manual to direct
the operator's attention to significant items. They are defined as follows:
WARNING: Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in serious injury
or death.
CAUTION: Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result in injury to the
operator, or damage to the items involved. Two examples are
given below.
NOTE : A NOTE indicates a procedure or point that is important to the process
being describe.
EXAMPLE : AN EXAMPLE is given to demonstrate a particular procedure, point
or process.
_ Be sure to comply with following WARNINGS and CAUTIONS for your
safety.
WARNING
_ Be sure not to operate the unit with any combination of temperature and air
flow settings that makes the thermal protector trip (the heater lamp turns off
during use). This could damage the unit.
CAUTION
When the power is ON, the temperature of the hot air and the nozzle
ranges from 100 to 450°C (212 to 842°F). To avoid injury to personnel or
damage to items in the work area, observe the following:
_ Do not direct the hot air toward personnel or touch the metal parts near the
nozzle.
_ Do not use the product near combustible gases or flammable materials.
_ Advise those in the work area that the unit can reach very high temperatures
and should be considered potentially dangerous.
_ Turn the power OFF when no longer using the Pro’sKit SS-989 or when
leaving it unattended.
_ Before replacing parts or storing the unit, allow the unit to cool and then turn
the power OFF.
To prevent accidents and failures, be sure to take the following
precautions:
_ Do not strike the hand piece against hard surfaces or otherwise subject it to
physical shock.
_ Be sure the unit is grounded. Always connect power to a grounded receptacle.

_ Do not disassemble the pump.
_ Do not modify the unit.
_ Use only genuine Pro’sKit replacement parts.
_ Do not wet the unit or use the unit with wet hands.
_ Remove power cord by holding the plug – not the wires.
_ Make sure the work area is well ventilated.
_The Pro’sKit SS-989 is not intended for use by children or infirm persons
without supervision.
_ Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the SS-989.

Assembly
A. Station assembly
● Attach the Heat Gun holder
Remove the heat gun holder screw
from the side of the station; attach the
heat gun holder to the station (Fig. 1)
B. Attach the nozzle
● Loosen the nozzle mounting screw,
attach the nozzle on heat gun then screw it.

C. Electrical Connection and Power ON
●Place the heat gun on the holder.(Fig3)
●Loosen the pump securing screw which on the bottom of control station.
(See below pictures)
●Insert the power plug into socket
●Turn on the power switch and the lamp will be lit
●Don‘t pull out the power plug instantly after turning off the power switch,
because the fan keeps operating to protect heat element. Until the fan
stops operation completely, the power plug should not be pulled out.
III. Operation instructions (SMD rework)
●Remove SMD components (such as QFP, SOP, PLCC and so on)
1. Adjust air flow and heat gun temperature to desired level
2. Slip the pick-up puller (optional part)
under the component lead. (Fig. 4) If
the width of the component does not
match the size of the pick-up, adjust
the width of the pick-up by
Fig3
Fig. 4

Page 7
squeezing the wire. In case of PLCC or small components such as chip
resistors, desolder by using tweezers, etc.
3. Hold the heat gun up on the SMD components, but do not touch the
components, and allow the hot air to melt the solder. Be careful not to
touch the leads of the components with nozzle.
4. When the soldering tin is melted, remove the SMD components by
lifting the pick up puller (Fig. 5)
Fig. 5
5. After removing SMD components, remove residual soldering solder tin
with desoldering tool.
●SMD rework operation instructions
1. Apply proper quantity of solder paste and install the SMD components
on PCB.
2. Refer to (Fig. 6) to preheating components
3. Heat the lead frame evenly (Fig. 7)

4. Cleaning
When soldering is completed, clean the residual flux from the board
with an appropriate cleaner.
IV. Soldering iron operation instructions
1. Soldering iron stand assembly
● Install the cleaning sponge into the seat. (Fig. 8)
Fig. 8
***ATTENTION***
Sponge will swell when wet. Dampen the sponge with water and
squeeze dry before using. The tips may be damaged when used
with dry sponge.
2. Insert soldering iron into the stand. (Fig. 9)
3. Take out the protection tube on the top of soldering iron.
4. Connect soldering iron cable to the 5 hole socket on control station. (Fig.
9)
***ATTENTION***
Switch off the power before inserting or pulling out the plug
Fig. 9

Page 9
5. Insert power plug into power socket then turn on power switch.
6. Adjust temperature with regulation temperature knob.
***ATTENTION***
High temperature shortens tip life and may cause thermal shock to
components. Always use the lowest possible temperature when
soldering. It will also provide better protection for some components
which sensitive to temperature.
***ATTENTION***
Always put soldering iron into holder after use.
***ATTENTION***
Always clean the soldering iron tip after use and coat it with fresh
solder to prevent oxidation and prolong tip life.
7. Soldering iron tip maintenance and operation
● Always clean the soldering tip before use to remove any residual
solder or flux adhering to it. Use a clean and moist cleaning sponge.
Contaminants on the tip have many detrimental effects including
reduced heat conductivity which contribute to poor soldering
performance.
● If the soldering iron is not in use, do not keep it at high temperature
for long time otherwise the tin flux will become oxidized and reduce
heat conductivity function.
● After use, always clean the soldering iron tip after use and coat it with
fresh solder to prevent oxidation and prolong tip life.
●Checking and cleaning the soldering iron tip
***ATTENTION***
◆ Never cut the oxide on soldering iron tip by cutter.
◆ Set the temperature at 250℃or 482.℉.
◆ After the temperature is stable, clean soldering iron tip with
sponge, and check its condition. If the tip is badly worn or
deformed, replace it.
◆ If the tin-plating part of soldering iron tip covered with black oxide,
8
Page 10
apply fresh solder containing flux and clean the tip again. Repeat
until all the oxide is removed then coat the tip with fresh solder.
◆ If the soldering iron tip gets deformed, replace it with a new one.
V. Fuse replacement
When fuse is blown, replace it with the spare fuse. (see below picture)
1. Unplug the power cord from the power receptacle
2. Use the Phillip (+) type screwdriver to loosen the fuse holder
3. Replace the fuse with new one
4. Put the fuse holder back in place
