INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

Appliance location The work surface where the device will be located must be suitable for the size of the appliance, please refer to the measurements. The work surface must be levelled, dry, heat-resistant and at a tting height from the ground to enable a proper use of the device. The power cord connected to the appliance must be properly grounded and correspond to the technical details.

OPERATION – SOLDERING STATION ONLY

1. Device must be placed on a stable work table, soldering iron must be placed into the holder.

2. Fix the appropriate soldering tip and connect the device to the power source.

3. Turn on the device with the main switch placed at the back of the device, turn on the soldering iron

with switch (8), it will start to heat.

4. Temperature setting: set the desired temperature using knob (6). Working (heating) indicator (11)

will glow. When the soldering iron reaches the set temperature, indicator will ash quickly. When the temperature drops, the indicator turns off.

5. After work, the soldering iron should be placed into the holder. Turn off the soldering station by

6. If the device is not used for a long time, it should be completely disconnected from the power source.

OPERATION – SMD REWORK STATION ONLY

1. Device must be placed on stable work table, SMD rework gun must be placed into the holder.

2. Fix the appropriate nozzle and connect the device to the power source.

3. Turn on the device with the main switch placed at the back of the device, turn on the SMD rework

gun with switch (7), gun is ready to work.

4. Temperature setting: set the desired temperature using knob (5). Working (heating) indicator (9) and

working indicator (4) will glow. When the SMD rework gun reaches the set temperature, indicator (9) will ash quickly. When the temperature drops, the indicator (9) turns off. Working indicator (4) will glow as long as the SMD rework gun will be turned on.

5. Airow volume adjustment: set the desired airow volume with knob (3).

6. Setting the automatic (AUTO) or manual (MANUAL) SMD rework gun working mode: switching

between modes: set the switch (13) in the appropriate mode. In manual mode, SMD rework gun working continuously. In automatic mode, SMD rework gun turns off when placed into the holder.

7. After work, the SMD rework gun should be placed into the holder. Turn off the SMD rework by

8. If the device is not used for a long time, it should be completely disconnected from the power source.

6. Depending on user’s needs, different air ow settings may cause slight variations in temperature

values. The minimum distance between the outlet of the HOT AIR gun and the subject is 2 mm.

7. Good ventilation of the room in which the appliance is used must be provided. In addition, the device

should be placed in a location with good air circulation to dissipate heat.

SAFETY ISSUES REMARKS

1. Nozzles should be installed without the use of excessive force, also do not use the pliers or tweezers.

Do not tighten the mounting screws of the nozzle too much.

2. Tips and nozzles can be changed when the HOT AIR gun and the soldering iron are completely cold.

3. It is forbidden to use the device near ammable or combustible elements and objects or in

similar places. Tips and nozzles as well as the air coming out of the HOT AIR gun have very high temperatures, it is forbidden to touch these elements as well as it is forbidden to direct the hot air directly to face or body. This can cause serious burns.

4. After long time of use, the outlet of the HOT AIR gun may be covered with some dust. The outlet

should be cleaned on a regular basis in order to ensure undisturbed air ow.

5. Too high temperature of the soldering iron may be the cause of reduction of the functionality of the

6. Soldering iron tip must be cleaned regularly using sponge and plate on a layer of tin to prevent tips

oxidation. REPLACEMENT OF HOT AIR REWORK HEATING ELEMENT

1. HOT AIR gun covers

2. element of the handle

1. If the display is showing „---„ it means that the output temperature is lower than 100 ⁰C, HOT AIR

station is in stand by mode, HOT AIR gun is placed in the holder.

2. If the display is showing “S-E” it means that soldering iron is disconnected, and HOT AIR gun is having

a problem with the heat sensor.

3. When the device is being turned on, both soldering iron and HOT AIR gun should be placed in their

4. The outlet of the HOT AIR gun should be clean and free from any obstacles.

5. When using small nozzles, it should be remembered that the air ow should be suitable to the

diameter of the xed nozzle. In order to avoid any HOT AIR gun damages, too high air ow along with the high temperature mustn’t be used for a long period of time.

1. Before heater replacement, make sure that the SMD rework gun is completely cold.

2. Remove the screws in the gun covers.

3. Unscrew the element of the handle (2) and take off the gun covers.

4. Gently remove the fan and remove the wire board screws.

5. Disconnect the heater from the wire board (pay attention to the wires connection order).

6. Remove the heater from the housing, pay attention to the steel grounding wire.

7. New heater should be wrapped with new mica paper and then it should be placed inside the housing.

8. Connect the wires to the board in accordance with their original connection method.

1. nut for mounting the soldering

2. soldering iron tip housing

3. soldering iron tip

4. plastic nut for mounting the hea-

ter and the board wires

Before heater / soldering iron tip replacement make sure that the soldering iron is completely cold.

1. SOLDERING IRON TIP REPLACEMENT: remove the nut for mounting the soldering iron tip housing

and take off the housing. Replace the tip with the new one, place the housing and x all with the plastic nut.

2. HEATER REPLACEMENT: remove the nut for mounting the soldering iron tip housing and take off

the housing along with the tip. Remove the nut for xing the heater (4) and gently remove the heater (6) along with the board with wires (7). Replace the whole remembering the wires connection order. REGULAR CLEANING Generalities

• Never clean the device with a pressurized water-jet, industrial cleaners, and brushes or any other type of cleaning utensil that could damage the surface of the appliance.

• Before cleaning you must disconnect the plug from electricity supply, isolating the appliance from the main power circuit.

REGULAR CONTROL OF THE DEVICE

Control regularly that the device doesn´t present any damage. If there is any damage, please stop using the device. Please contact your customer service to solve the problem. What to do in case of problem? Please contact your customer service and prepare following information:

• Invoice number and serial number (the latest is to be found on the technical plate on the device).

• If relevant, a picture of the damaged, broken or defective part.

• It will be easier for your customer service clerk to determine the source of the problem if you give a detailed and precise description of the matter. Avoid formulations like “the device doesn´t heat”, which may mean that it doesn´t heat enough or even not at all. These two possibilities have a different causation! The more detailed your information, the better the customer service will be able to answer your problem rapidly and efciently! CAUTION: Never open the device without the authorization of your customer service. This can lead to a loss of warranty!
