FAQs

What is the wattage of this soldering iron?

This soldering iron has a power output of 25 watts.

Is this soldering iron suitable for lead-free solder?

While it can be used with lead-free solder, the 25W power may require longer heat-up times and might not be ideal for continuous lead-free soldering due to its lower power output.

How long is the power cable?

The cable length is approximately 1.2 meters.

Can I buy replacement tips for this iron?

Yes, spare tips are available. Look for Laser Part No. 0589 (pack of 2).

Does it come with a stand?

Yes, the soldering iron includes a metal stand for safe resting.

What safety approvals does this iron have?

It is manufactured to BS EN60335-2-45 Spec, holds GS approval, and is CE, UKCA & RoHS compliant.

Is the handle insulated?

The handle is designed with a non-slip grip and a slip guard for safety, implying good insulation properties for user protection.

Troubleshooting

Soldering iron not heating up

Ensure the iron is securely plugged into a working 240v outlet. Check if the tip is properly seated. If the problem persists, the heating element may have failed, and the unit may need replacement.

Solder not flowing onto the tip or joint

Clean the soldering tip thoroughly using a damp sponge or brass wool. Ensure the tip is tinned (coated with fresh solder). Check that the joint area is clean and free from corrosion or old solder.

Handle feels loose

Ensure the tip is correctly and firmly attached to the iron's heating element. If the handle itself is loose from the main body, do not use the iron and consider replacement.

Smoke coming from the iron during initial use

This is often normal during the first few uses as manufacturing residues burn off. Allow it to smoke for a minute or two. If excessive smoke continues during regular use, it may indicate excessive heat or a dirty tip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the soldering iron is unplugged before attaching or removing any tips.
  2. If needed, attach a spare tip to the heating element, ensuring it is snug.
  3. Place the soldering iron in its included metal stand before plugging it into a suitable 240v power outlet.

Care:

  • Always unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely before cleaning or storage.

  • After use, tin the tip (apply a small amount of solder) to protect it from oxidation during storage.
  • Store the soldering iron and its accessories in a dry, safe place.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the handle or body of the iron.
