Caution:
- Always place the soldering and De- ordering iron in its original holder when not being used.
- Keep the soldering and de-soldering tip and heating element away from the body, clothes, and flammable material when in operation.
- The soldering tip and the heating element remain hot for some time after being switched off. Ensure that you do not touch the soldering tip and the eating element.
- For your health, do not inhale solder fumes.
- You must not undertake work on live parts. Only a technician is recommended to undertake repairs. Use original replacement parts only.
Temperature setting function:
3 Temperature settings from CH1 to CH3 The setting method is as follows: To
select the function you want to set, first press the function selection key at
the bottom of the display screen to select SOLDER or DESOLDER. After the
selection is completed, the function indication key will point to the function
you selected. Please refer to the attached panel diagram. after selecting the
function, please select the temperature setting selection key, you can set
three groups of temperatures. If you want to set the first group, press 1
Then use the temperature adjustment button to adjust to the temperature you
want to set, and then press the SET button to save the temperature you set,
When setting the second group, press 2 and then adjust to the temperature you
want and press SET to save the second group of temperatures, and the third
group will be SET in this way. When working with the set temperature, the
temperature you set will be displayed above the temperature set number you
set. After the three sets of temperature settings are completed, the settings
can be changed at any time as needed. The factory setting is 150°C for the
first group, 300°C for the second group, and 450°C for the third group.
*SOLDER AND DESOLDER temperature displays share the same display screen,
you can only see the temperature display of one function at the top at the
same time. If you want to see the temperature of another function, please use
the SOLDER and DESOLDER keys at the bottom of the screen to switch to read the
temperature data
Time extension function in order to prevent the tin from staying in the tip of
the soldering iron after releasing the button too quickly after using the
soldering iron to remove the tin, this machine is equipped with the function
of removing the tin after a two-second delay after the switch is released.
Energy-safe function If the machine is set to 300C and not in use, it will
enter a sleep mode ” – – – “after 20 minutes. Just pick up the soldering iron
or press the soldering button to wake up.
- Fahrenheit and Celsius conversion: Unplug the soldering iron on
SOLDER, then press the SOLDER key and the number 3 key to switch

PROCEDURE FOR CLEANING CLOGGED TIPS
CAUTION:
This procedure is to be working in high temperatures.
Be careful to avoid burning your fingers during this operation.
-
Be sure that the spring wire (included) will not go through the nozzle of the desoldering tip.
-
Adjust the heating element to a higher temperature allowing the clogged solder to melt. Clean the tip by sliding the spring wire up and down until the passage is clear. (See Fig. 3)
-
Unscrew the barrel nut assembly as in Figure 4&5.
-
Remove the tip by using pliers as in Figures 6&7.
- Insert the stainless tube of the tip back in the barrel to melt the solder in around 5 seconds as in Figure 8.
- Remove again and shake out any loose melted solder in the tip per Figure 9, the tip should now be unclogged. Replace the tip and screw back the retaining barrel nut assembly but care should be taken not to over-tighten!
PROCEDURES FOR CLEANING THE SOLDER COLLECTOR
CAUTION:
The desolder switch must be turned “OFF” and the iron allowed to cool before
this operation.
-
Hold iron as in Figure 10. Press and turn the red knob at the butt of the iron.
-
Slide out the solder collector as in Figure 11. (CAUTION: The solder collector is glass and thus retains heat, handle with care!)
-
Point the collect or down while shaking slightly (see. Figure 12.) and the waste solder will fall out. This task must be carried out periodically for proper operation of the station.
-
Remove the cooling strip with a pair of long-nose pliers or tweezers. (see Figures 13 & 14)
-
Clean the cooling strip and glass collector with a wire brush (included).
PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING FILTERS
SOLDER COLLECTOR FILTERS
- Be sure the iron/filter assembly has cooled.
- Hold the iron as in Figure 10, and press/turn the red knob on the butt of the iron.
- Remove the solder collector (see Figure 11).
- Disassemble the solder collector into 2 parts (see Figures 15 & 16).
- Remove the old cotton filter and replace it (see Figures 17 & 18).
IN LINE FILTERS
- Unscrew the inline filter (see Figure 19) and then pull it apart (Figure 20).
INTERCHANGEABLE TIPS FOR LF-988D+
Desoldering tips DIA 100+
Soldering tips for 303K MAINTENANCE NOTE FOR DIA100+
Change of Cotton Filament (76-1411030):
Please note that the cotton filament cannot be washed with water. Water drops
would be sucked into the Pump and may cause the pump damaged within 1 to 2
months. If you wash it with water, the Cotton filament will turn solid and
will stop the DIA 100 from working well. Please change at least once 3 to 5
days if you use 8 hours per day.
Change of Charcoal Filter (78-151500):
The charcoal filter will turn solid if you wash it with water. If you use 8
hours per day that the Charcoal filter has to be changed within 3 weeks. On
the other hand, if you wash the Charcoal filter and do not dry it properly,
water drops will be sucked into the Pump and may cause the pump damaged
easily.
Change of Glass Solder Collector (75-160110):
The glass solder collector will be broken easily if the client knocked the DIA
100 against the desktop. The glass collector also needs to be changed every 3
to 5 months usage.
Maintenance for Desoldering Heater and Tip:
To prevent the desoldering tip from being stuck by solder, the desoldering tip has to be cleaned by a Probe after every time usage. In such ways, desoldering tip’s life can be lasting longer. Desolder Heater would be probably broken when you remove the desoldering tip with pliers carefully in hot condition. Slightly remove the tip with pliers or may use the anti-rusty cleaner when the tip is clogged with the heater and do not force it open. Please read the “Procedure for Cleaning Clogged Tips” carefully on page9 of the manual.
