(California Health & Safety Code 25249.5 et seq.) Preparing the Soldering Tip 1. Using Wrench (16), check that the Soldering Tip Nuts (2) are not loose. Do not overtighten as you may strip the threads. 2. Set the Soldering Gun on the workbench, and plug the Line Cord into an electrical outlet. 3. Press on the Trigger Switch (12) until the Soldering Tip (1) heats up. 4. Apply a sufficient amount of rosin-core solder to melt over the entire tip of the Soldering Gun. Wipe the tip with a rag until the tip is clean and shinny. SKU 04328 PAGE 10 Preparing the Metal to be Soldered 1. If wires are to be soldered, thoroughly clean or scrape the wires so that only the clean copper is showing. Make the wire splice. 2. If other metals are to be soldered, thoroughly clean or scrape the metal surfaces. It may be necessary to apply acid flux (not supplied) to the metal surfaces before soldering. Caution: If soldering on printed circuit boards, too much heat can soften the plastic form and loosen the metal eyelet connections. Use minimal heat, or solder with a low wattage soldering pencil. Never use acid core solder on wiring circuits. Soldering 1. Press on the Trigger Switch (12) until the Soldering Tip (1) heats up. 2. Brush on solder flux, as needed, to the workpiece. Place the Soldering Tip to the joint, wiring splice, or metal to be soldered. 3. Apply solder to the wire splice or metal to be soldered, not the Soldering Tip. When the splice or metal is hot enough, it will melt the solder causing it to flow within the splice or between the metal surfaces. 4. When the solder has flowed over the entire wire splice or metal surface, remove the Soldering Tip and release the Trigger Switch. If you are new to soldering, you may find it helpful to practice soldering first on scrap wires and splices. Maintenance Note: Maintenance requiring disassembly of this tool should only be performed while the product is disconnected from the electrical supply circuit. 1. When you are finished soldering, heat up the Soldering Tip (1) again and apply a small amount of rosin-core solder to coat the tip. Wipe off with a rag. This will leave the tip clean and ready for use again. 2. If the Soldering Tip cracks or becomes eroded, the Soldering Tip needs to be replaced. In this condition, it will not heat up properly. Accessories Replacing the Soldering Tip SKU 04328 PAGE 11 1. To replace the Soldering Tip, place the Wrench (16) over each Nut (2) and remove by turning counterclockwise. 2. Push the Nuts toward the Soldering Tip end, exposing the opposite ends of the Soldering Tip. 3. Guide the old Soldering Tip out of the Transformer Assembly (4) mounting posts (A). Refer to the Assembly Drawing on the next page. 4. Straighten out the ends of the old Soldering Tip using pliers, and remove the Nuts (2). 5. Place the Nuts over the mounting ends of the new Soldering Tip. 6. Using pliers, bend the mounting ends of the new Soldering Tip so that about 3/16 inch is at 90 degrees. If the bend is too long, the Nuts will not fit over mounting posts. 7. Guide the bent ends into the mounting posts of the Transformer Assembly. 8. Carefully tighten the Nuts over the mounting posts. Make sure that the Nuts fit squarely over threads or damage will occur to the mounting post threads. Do not overtighten. Replacing the Light Bulb 1. Remove the Light Bulb Lens (15) from the front of the Soldering Gun. 2. Pull out the burnt Light Bulb and replace with a new one of the same voltage and type (see Specifications). 3. Replace the Light Bulb Lens INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING 1. WARNING! Make sure the Power Switch (part #) of the Soldering Gun is in its “OFF” position and that the tool is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. 2. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Soldering Gun. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
