Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the soldering iron is placed on the provided metal stand on a heat-resistant surface before plugging the 1.2m lead into a standard 230V AC outlet. Allow the tool to stabilize for at least 3-4 minutes.
Compatibility: This unit is intended for standard leaded or lead-free electronics solder. It is not designed for industrial brazing or high-thermal-mass objects like metal pipes.
Care: Keep the tip clean by wiping it on a damp sponge or brass wire cleaner during use. Always tin the tip with a thin layer of solder before turning the unit off to prevent oxidation. Never attempt to file the tip, as this will damage the protective coating and ruin the heating element's performance.
