Instant heat soldering gun (100Watt)
spare soldering tip
roll of flux-cored solder wire.
the 100 Watt soldering gun is primarily intended for electrical and electronic use. Its main advantage is the ability to heat up within
20 seconds of pressing the trigger. the tip temperature will reach 300
oc so care must be taken with delicate electronic
components that may be damaged if excessively heated.
3.1
duty cycle. the gun has a duty cycle of 12 seconds continuous soldering which should be followed by a 48 second rest.
If the trigger is held for less than 12 seconds the necessary rest period needed will be correspondingly less.
WArNINg! do not try to lock the trigger by any means as this will overheat the tip and the transformer causing
permanent
damage and will invalidate your guarantee.
3.2
Preparing the gun. Prepare the gun by ‘tinning’ the tip with a thin layer of solder. If any difficulty is experienced getting
the solder to take to the tip use a proprietary tip tinner/cleaner.
3.3
Holding/preparing the work. ensure that the items to be joined are clean and securely held together. Where possible a
good joint will more easily obtained if the items to be joined are tinned separately first.
3.4
Soldering. Press and hold the trigger for approximately 20 seconds to get the tip to full temperature. Bring the tip of the
gun and the solder to the joint simultaneously. leave the iron on the joint just long enough to melt the solder so that it
flows onto the two parts to be joined. remove the gun and release the trigger. leave the joint to cool. When the gun is
not in use, but still hot, ensure that when it is put down the tip is not touching, or close to, any material that will melt or is
inflammable.
3.5
Changing tips. disconnect the gun from the mains and wait until the gun is completely cold. loosen the two screws
holding the tip. remove the tip and insert the new one. tighten the screws. If the old tip is difficult to remove, grip it with a
pair of pliers and pull it out. do not use pliers to insert the new tip as the plating may be damaged.
3.6
Maintenance. do not allow solder to accumulate where the tip enters the gun as this may make the tip difficult to remove.
do not get solder deposits on the tip retaining screws as this may prevent a screwdriver fitting into the cross head.
Periodically, use a proprietary tip cleaner/tinner to keep the gun clean an correctly tinned.
