MINI SOLDERING
STATION
Thank you for purchasing the Pro'sKit SS-201 Mini Soldering
Station. Before using the SS-201 for the first time, please read the
following instructions.
CARE OF THE SOLDERING TIP
The SS-201 soldering tip is made with iron plated copper. If used
properly, it should last for a long time. The following steps will help
ensure a longer tip life.
1. Always keep the tip tinned before switching off or storing for any
period of time. Only wipe before use.
2. Do not keep the SS-201 set at a high temperature for a long period of
time as this will break down the surface of the tip.
3. Never clean the tip with coarse abrasive materials or files.
4. If an oxide film does form, it can be cleaned by lightly rubbing with a
600-800 grit emery cloth, isopropyl alcohol or equivalent, and then
immediately reheating and retinning the tip to prevent oxidation of the
wettable surface.
5. Remove the tip and clean every twenty hours of use, or at least once
a week, and remove any loose build up in the barrel.
6. Do not use fluxes containing chloride or acid. Use only rosin or
activated resin fluxes.
7. Do not use any compound or anti-seize materials on the wettable
surface.
MAINTENANCE
SOLDERING TIP REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Tip replacement or cleaning should be done only when the
element is at room temperature.
1. Unplug the SS-201 station
2. Use a set of flat pliers(no teeth) to carefully remove the tip from the
heating element.
3. Replace with cleaned or new tip.
SOLDERING HEATER REPLACEMENT
1. Unplug the SS-201 station and ensure that the element has cooled
down.
2. Remove the soldering tip (see above).
3. Unscrew the nut that holds the heating element to the handle.
4. Use a set of flat pliers (no teeth) to pull out the rubber plug.
5. Feed the power cord up through the unit until the connector is visible.
6. Disconnect the heating element (2 pins).
7. Connect the new heating element and feed it back into the handle.
8. Replace the plug into the handle and retighten the nut.
9. Insert the soldering tip onto the new heating element.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Caution-High Temperature Operation
The SS-201 operates at very high temperature. At all times observe
careful operating procedures.
2. Do not use the unit near ignitable gases, paper or other inflammable
materials.
3. Never touch the hot tip, with your hands.
4. After use, be sure to let the unit cool down.
5. White smoke may occasionally be emitted near the tip. This is
temporary and caused by very small pieces of dirt on the unit.
6. Never drop or sharply jolt the unit.
7. Do not disassemble the unit unless replacing the heating barrel.
8. Unplug the SS-201 station when not in use for prolonged periods.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check voltage, 110/220V.
2. Plug the power cord into the power supply.
3. Turn the power switch to ON.
4. Adjust the temperature control knob. Start with a low temperature.
Gradually increase the setting by turning the temperature knob clock-
wise until the desired temperature is achieved.
5. When you have finished using the unit, turn the power setting to OFF.
If you will not be using the SS-201 for a prolonged period, unplug the
unit.
6. Follow instructions for soldering tip care below.
