Tip care and use

1. Choose an appropriate temperature, too high temperature can weaken soldering tip function and accelerate oxidation and shorten its service life. Under the circumstance of able to work normally, choose the temperature as low as possible. Lower temperature can also solder adequately and protect sense elements. Suggest to set temperature to 350℃.
2. Make sure set the temperature of soldering iron to 220℃ when use first time. Make the soldering tip be tinned adequately. Best of all, dip it in tin for 5 minutes and then clean it with cleaning sponge, set the temperature to 300℃ again. Repeat above steps. Finally set the temperature to work temperature. The purpose of this is to form a protecting film on tinned layer of soldering tip, so it can prevent the oxidation at high temperature and failure of heat transport.
3. If the tinned part of soldering tip has black oxide, it can be covered with new tin. Clean it with humid sponge repeatedly until the oxide is completely removed, and then covered with new tin. Please do this cleaning regularly.
4. Turn off the Power supply when not use. Clean the soldering tip with a cleaning sponge and then covered with new tin. Repeat above steps when use it again.
5. Replace soldering tip if it is twisted or eroded badly.
6. Auto Feeding eight times
7. Auto Feeding nine times
