1.13 DO NOT leave operatinge? Rot soldering iron unalsended. 1.14 ALWAYS BE SURE THESOWERING IRON IS COOL BEFORE STORING IT. 1.15 DO NOT REPLACE CAP WmfOUT WITGHJNG OFF AND WSURJNG TIP HAS COOLED. Do ensure flames are extinwished before ning down. If flame does not self extinguish within 30 seconds a new lip is requlreP 1,16 Do UI Iran in a ventdated %a. 1.17 Do WT attemot to feadtust or reoair. tttis oroduct is not user serviceable. tMR#4lM& ThB prbduct, when used tor soldkng and slmilar applicalions, produces eM& lurown to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other repredwtive Nrm. WARMNG: Tho Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations forbii w~drage of butane or other flammable gas products on passenger aircraft. DOnot pack tht ttSm ar any other flammable gas item, in any checked or carry-on baggage. Cont8fm flammable gas under pressure. Do not use near sparks or open flame. I@ aOt ptrnaltte or lnclnerate container or store at temperatures above 120" F. Lep aat Pf rcssch of children. 1. Make sure the gas control ring IS In 'OFF position. 2. Hold refill contalner above unit and press the container nozzle into gas refiller valve. (Fig 1) 3. Complete fill takes about 10 seconds: then allow a few minutes for gas to stabilize. ILIGHTING o 1. Push up. then turn the gas control ring clockwise to release a small amount of gas (hissrng sound) through the burner. (Fig 2) 2. Use the lighter ~n cap (or lighter) to Ignite at the tip exhaust ports (or torch). (Fig 3 & 4) IADJUSTMENT 1. Temperature can be controtled by the gas control ring between low and high. . . Adjust the torch of flame to approx. l/2 inch (12mm) length. Don't make the flame too long, it w~ll only waste gas. ..Adjust the ternp8rature fer soldering (Also hot knife & polyfoam cutter) to approx 1R Posit~on. do not set the temperature too high on work that will cause the tip's catalyst to burn. Fig 6 2. Remove brass burner assembly and squirt 2 8hots of butw into orifice to clear any debris 3. ReassemUe unit. 1. Make sure the solder head and burner are not hot. 2. Remove the burner headfrom the connector and Fen scm in the solder headwith the connector and then screw in (snug fit)any small tlp (See Opllonal Accessories) you need fur your job. (Fig 5) 3. Refnowetlle solder head from the conneotor, and screw in the burner head, with eolmmr your tool can now be used as a t~rch. (FQ6) I I TIPS ON USING YOUR SOLDERING IRON 1. Select the proper solder for your application. Most solders sold today have the flux inside their cores. When makina electric or electronic connections always use rosin core solder. For mechanical joining where the surfaces can be washed after Gldering acid core solder can be used. Common nonplumbing solder is an alloy of tin and lead. A "60-40" solder is 60% tin and 40% lead. General purpose solders range from 40-60 to 60-40. 63-37 solder has the lowest melting temperature and highest strength. The diameter of the solder wire should generally match the slze of the components to be joined. 2. Be sure the surfaces to be joined are clean. Remove any oil or grease. Surfaces can be thoroughly cleaned by using abrasives such as emery cloth, steel wool or by scraping or filing. The flux in the solder will remove the oxide layers which could prevent good bonding. NOTE: New units are shipped untinned. Remove plating at end of tip before tinning. 3. BE SURE THE TIP OF THE SOl.DERlNG IRON IS CLEAN AND,WELL TINNED (COATED WITH SOLDER). The solder on the ti0 of the iron w~ll melt raoldlv and create a conductive path for thehkt to;&$ the work$ece. A small additional 'ambunt of solder may be added to the tip while it is in contact with the workpiece to ensure good heat conduction. 4. If possible connect the workpieces mechanically, or position them as rigidly as possible. 5. Allow the soldering iron to heat sufficiently: 1 minute minimum to about 3 minutes for optimum operating temperature. 6. Apply the heated tip of the soldering iron directly to the work. Heat the work surfaces sufficientlv for the solder to melt on them. Aoolv the solder to the work surface directlv. Do not juit melt the solder on the tip of the irori allowing it to fall onto the work. This ' will cause poor bonding between the solder and the surfaces to be joined. Remove the iron quickly after the solder flows on the work surfaces.
