Troubleshooting
Iron not heating up
Ensure the iron is securely connected to the station and the station is plugged into a working power outlet. Check that the temperature dial is turned up.
Temperature seems inaccurate
Allow the iron sufficient time to reach the set temperature. If issues persist, recalibration might be needed (consult the manual) or the heating element may require replacement.
Tips are not fitting properly
Ensure you are using genuine Soldercraft tips designed for this model. Make sure the tip is fully inserted into the iron's heating element and that there is no debris obstructing the connection.
Poor solder flow or wood burning results
Verify the temperature setting is appropriate for the material and task. Ensure the tip is clean and tinned (for soldering). For pyrography, check for oxidation on the tip.
