High Precision Temperature Controlled

Soldering Iron Station

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction

• The electronic circuitry enables the user to change the tip
temperature from 302

°F (150°C) to 788°F (420°C) without the

need to change the tip or heating ele

ment.

• The temperature is maintained within +/- 10

°F of its preset
temperature. This is made possible by a unique temperature
sensor that is located near the tip. The sensor creates a rapid
response with very little temperature variation

.

• The tip of the unit is isolated from the AC line by a transformer.

• Low voltage (24Volts) is used to power the heating element.

• Total electronic switching prevents the voltage and current
sensitive components against transient spikes sometimes
caused by other units using mechanical switching circuits.

• This unit has a linear LCD readout which accurately indicates
the temperature of the t

ip.

Working temperature

• Soldering at the correct temperature is very important to ensure
perfect solder connection.

• If the temperature is too low the solder will not flow correctly
and will cause cold solder joints.

• If the temperature is to high, the flux will be burned and not
allow the solder t

oo flow.

• High temperatures can also cause damage to the printed circuit
board and other sensitive components.

• When the tip working temperature is set within the co

rrect
parameters suited to the particular solder being
used, a good joint is assured.

• The most common solder alloys used in the electronics
industry are 60% tin, 40% lead (60/40).

Introduction

Carefully read and understand this manual and any label attached
to the tool before use. Keep these instructions with the product for
future reference. Ensure all persons who use and service this
product are acquainted with this manual.

Electrical Safety Information

• The wires in this product are coloured:
Blue Neutral (N)
Brown Live (L)
Green & Yellow Earth (E)

• As the colours may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black, the
wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
which is marked L or coloured red.

• This appliance must be protected by a suitable fuse.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to

rain/water or moisture. There are no user serviceable parts inside

except those referred to in this manual. Always refer servicing to
qualified service personnel. Never remove any part of the casing
unless qualified to do so; this unit contains dangerous voltages.

• Use of a residual current device (RCD) will reduce the risk of

electric shock.

NEVER CONNECT THE BROWN OR BLUE WIRE TO THE

EARTH PIN OF THE 13 AMP PLUG. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A

QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

General Safety Instructions

Even when used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all
residual risk factors. Use with caution.

Keep guards in position

• Always keep guards in position, in good working order, correctly
adjusted and aligned. Never attempt to use a power tool without
any guard supplied with it.

Remove adjusting keys

• Always check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from power tool before turning on.

Clean work area

• Accidents occur where benches and work areas are cluttered
or dirty, floors must be kept clear, avoid working where the floor is

slippery.

Dangerous environment

• Do not use power tools in damp or wet conditions, or expose
them to rain. Provide adequate surrounding work space and keep
area well lit. Do not use power tools where there is a risk of
explosion or fire from combustible material, flammable liquids,
flammable gases or dust of an explosive nature. When using
power tools avoid contact with any earthed items such as pipes,
radiators, cookers, refrigerators, metal baths and taps.

Children & pets

• Children and pets should always be kept at a safe distance from

your workshop child-proof. Lock tool away where children can't get
access to them. Remove batteries from cordless tools.

Use the correct power tool

• Don't force, or attempt to use a power tool for a purpose it was
not designed for. Do not use a small tool to do the job of a heavy
duty tool.

Wear correct clothing and footwear.

• Don't wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery or other items
which may get caught in moving parts. Wear non-slip footwear,
cover or tie back long hair. Use safety footwear if necessary.

Protect your head

• Wear safety goggles at all times, every day glasses are not
sufficient for eye protection, as lenses are not impact resistant

and could shatter. Use an approved face or dust mask when
operation creates dust. Ensure dust extraction equipment is
functioning and correctly used. Hearing protection should be used
if the sound intensity level for the operator could exceed 85dB(A).
Use a hard hat where there is a risk of falling objects or striking
your head on low level obstructions.

Protect yourself from vibration.

• Hand held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can
cause disease. Gloves to keep the operator warm and dry and
therefore maintain good blood circulation in the fingers may help.
This tool has not been designed for extended or industrial
operation.

Secure work

• Always secure work. Where practical use a clamp or vice, it will

allow you to use both hands to operate your power tool.

Keep your balance

• Don't over reach, keep proper footing at all times to ensure
correct balance.

Maintain your power tool

clean for best and safest performance. Ensure ventilation holes
are kept clean and unrestricted at all times.

Always disconnect.

• Before changing tools, always ensure they are disconnected from
the power source.

Accessories

• The use of any attachment or accessory other than those

mentioned in this manual could result in damage or injury. The

use of improper accessories could be dangerous.

Never stand on your power tool

• Standing on your power tool or its stand could cause serious
injury if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted. Do not store materials above or near the tool so that it
is necessary to stand on the tool or its stand to reach them.

Switch off before connecting.

• Ensure the power tool is switched

off before connecting to the

power source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly turn the power

switch to off.

Do not abuse the power cord.

• Be sure your cable/extension cable is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged cable/extension cable or
have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Never yank
or pull the cable to disconnect it from the power socket. Never
carry your power tool by it’s cable. Keep the cable away from
damp, heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges.

Check for damaged or missing parts

.

• Before each use check if any part of the power tool is damaged or

missing, check carefully that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check alignment of moving parts for binding.
Any guard or other part that is damaged should be correctly
repaired or replaced. Do not use if the power switch does not turn
the power on and off. Check any other condition that may affect
the safety of the power tool. DO NOT USE IF DEFECTIVE.

Direction of feed

• Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of

the blade or cutter only.

Don’t leave the tool running unattended
