nozzle of straight tube | |
Φ1.8mm | 0.5-1.5mm |
5.3.3 adjustment of the solder wire and the soldering tip position: rotate the
handle tube separatorg 15 to change the combined position of the nozzle 22 and
the tip, loosen the locking screw of the elbow tube, and pull the tube to
change the length of its extension. 5.3.4 Foot switch install: insert the foot
switch plug 27 into the SW jack on the back of the machine.
5.3.5 Solder wire install:
A Thread the shaft 23 into the solder wire , then put on the support 24.
B Pull out the solder wire and thread it through the solder wire input port
Qat the back of the upper cover, push the clutch lever 1 to increase the gap
between the two gears 5 and 6 to make the solder wire penetrate into the
outlet joint, adjust the gap adjusting screw 9 and the pressure adjusting nut
11 , the solder wire between the drive gear and the pressure gear can be well
fixed by the gear without slipping, and the solder wire is not deformed due to
too much extrusion. C Loosen the fixing screw ©of the outlet joint > pull off
the hose connector C), Insert the solder wire pass through the outlet joint 8
into the hose connector , fasten-ing the fixing screw
C) D Connect the power plug on the back of the machine to the power correctly,
turn on the power switch, straighten the transfer hose 21 as possible, and
press the switch of the foot switch 25 or handle button 26 until the solder
wire is sent to the nozzle. 5.3.6 bracket installation: loosen the bracket
fastener (Don the machine, install the bracket into the bracket seat hole,
tighten the tight nut to fix it. 5.3.7 Solder iron installation: loosen the
tight nut 14, remove the handle fixing clip, ,17 place the handle into the
fixing clip, reinstall and tighten the tight nut is , insert the soldering
iron aviation plug into the SOLDER socket on the back of the machine, and lock
the screws. 5.3.8 Soldering iron position adjustment: the bracket fastener 0
can adjust the height of the handle, and the angle up or down (not too large
to prevent the passage of the solder wire, keep the solder wire in the
appropriate position).
Note:
When unscrewing the handle tube separator, be more careful not to damage the
heating core; If the foot switch 26 is pressed and the solder wire cannot be
sent out automatically, adjust the pressure adjusting nut 8 ; The outlet joint
shall not be excessively bent or forcibly twisted to prevent the solder wire
from blocking; If the soldering iron is installed, it will be heated when the
power switch is turned on (the display screen will be on). Please pay
attention to avoid scalding during installation.
5.3.9 operation mode: two operation modes can be selected as required, elbow
mode and straight mode.
-
Use of ESD socket for anti-static

How to inspection the soldering iron
Check the resistance between the pins of the connecting plug as follows:
4~5 ( Heater ) | ≈4Ω |
---|---|
1~2 ( Temperature sensor ) | ≈50Ω |
1~6 ( feeding switch ) | ON |
3~soldering iron tip( Earthing) | <2Ω |
-
The resistance value between the plug pins is different from the resistance value in the table, disassembly the soldering iron to confirm whether the resistance value of the PCB is correct.
-
The measured resistance value on PCB is correct, indicate that the soldering iron wire is damaged, refer diagram to check the wire connect situation as below.
-
The resistance between the 3 pin of the plug and the soldering iron tip is greater than the table value, wipe the point of junction where oxidized with sandpaper.
