DESCRIPTION

25W Soldering Iron with non slip handle Laser 5639

Precautions

• The soldering iron is only suitable for 230-240v /50Hz
• Always use on a heat proof base or proprietary soldering iron support (not included).
• Always hold the tool by the handle (all metal components will get hot)
• Always protect the cable from contact with the tip
• The cable cannot be replaced if damaged
• When work is finished allow the tip to cool down slowly
• Do not immerse in water
• Tips can be replaced – always do this when the tool is cold and unplugged from the mains power supply

Instructions
Before use:

• Do not heat up the soldering iron without ensuring the soldering tip is in place
• Check the set-screw is secure which holds the tip in place and the tip is pushed fully into position.

Warm up the Iron
Warm up the soldering iron thoroughly. Make sure that it is fully up to temperature.

Tinning the soldering tip
Before use, the soldering tip must be tinned. “Tinning” is the process of coating the soldering tip with a thin coat of solder. This aids in heat transfer between the tip and the component you are soldering, and also helps the solder to flow.

Thoroughly coat the tip in solder
Any part of the tip left uncovered may tend to collect flux residue and may not conduct heat properly.
