Operation
Using nitrogen improves the quality of the solder joint as well as it prevents
tip oxidation.
The MEN is an electromotive that manages nitrogen flow. It is controlled by
the station, which keeps gas consumption to a minimum.
- The nitrogen flow is automatically activated when the soldering iron is lifted from the stand.
- The flow is interrupted when the tool is returned to the stand and the temperature drops as the tip goes into Sleep mode.
Accessories
Use the P005 Pedal to enable/disable the module. This pedal will work with any module or tool regardless of the module to which it is connected.
Maintenance
Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always unplug the equipment.
- Keep the casing clean by using a damp cloth.
- Periodically check all cables and tubes.
- Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only.
- Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.
- Maintenance shall not be carried out by children unless supervised.
Safety
It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric shock, injury, fire or explosion.
- Only nitrogen can be used with this unit.
- Do not use the unit for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause a fire.
- The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Be sure that it is properly grounded before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.
- Do not work on electrically live parts. The soldering tip, the stand and the metal part of the tool may still be hot even when the station is turned off. Handle with care.
