Operation

Soldering

The soldering pencil has a rated output of 30 watts and is there- fore ideal for electronics soldering.

The design of the soldering pencil makes it especially suitable for use where access is difficult or for fine soldering work.

To achieve the best results use electronics solder 1.0 (10 g elec- tronics solder with integrated flux is included) or 1.5 mm diameter 100 % Sn. We recommend the use of soldering paste (not solder- ing grease or soldering fluid) as a flux.

Clean the soldering tip 2 on the moist solder sponge 8 .

After cleaning the tip 2 it must be “tinned” (coated with solder). This is done by melting solder on to the hot soldering tip 2 . Guide the soldering tip 2 to the intended joint site and heat the joint. Place the solder (with flux) between the joint site and the tip 2

to melt it.

Continue to feed further solder until the whole joint has a covering of solder.

Then quickly remove the soldering tip in order to avoid overheating the molten solder.

Allow the solder to harden while not subjecting it to vibration or movement.

Note: The flux is either already contained in the solder or applied separately. Ask the advice of the retailer when buying solder in or- der to choose the most suitable solder for your intended purpose.

Attachments and applications:

ATTENTION! Do not carry out any special changes or repairs to the electrics or other parts. Exceptions are permitted if the person carrying out such changes or repairs is qualified or trained to do so.
