How to Clean a Tip?
• Set the temperature to 250°C.
• After the temperature has stabilized, clean the tip and check its condition. If the tip is deformed or badly worn,
replace it. If the solder-plated part of the tip is covered with black oxide, apply fresh solder containing flux and
clean the tip again.
• Switch off the unit and remove the cooled tip with the heat-resistant pad. Remaining oxides such as the yellow
discoloration on the shaft can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Store the tip in a cool and dry place.
Recalibrating the Soldering Iron
• The soldering iron should be recalibrated each time you replace the soldering iron, heating element or tip.
• Connect the unit to the mains.
• Set the temperature control knob to 400°C.
• Switch on the unit and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Remove the CAL pot plug.
• After temperature stabilization, use a small Phillips-headed screwdriver and turn the CAL screw (clockwise to
increase, anticlockwise to decrease) until the tip thermometer reads 400°C. Replace the pot plug.
