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.
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.

Make sure that the Nuts fit squarely over threads or damage will occur to the
mounting post threads. Do not overtighten.
