Guide Tube Set Assembly
Open the guide tube set screw (1) and insert the guide tube set.
Adjust the guide tube length (2). Leave a gap of 8 to 10 mm (0.31 to 0.39 in)
between the tip and the outlet nozzle (3). Once the position is adjusted
tighten the guide tube set screw (1).
For a better handling use the clips (4) to attach the guide tube to the tool
cable.
Tool Assembly
Connect the tool to the control unit following these steps:
Loosen the set screw, insert and push the guide nozzle until it stops (1) and
tighten the set screw (2) again. Then plug in the tool connector (3)
Solder Wire Unloading
With Solder Wire Perforation
To unload solder wire with perforation that has already passed through the
guide tube, cut the wire between the wire guidance and the inlet nozzle (1).
To extract the wire out of the tube, hold the tool on your hand and press
until the wire stops moving forward. Grasp the wire coming out of the outlet
nozzle with a pliers and pull from it until it is completely out.
Without Solder Wire Perforation
When using a kit without solder wire perforation, press until the wire is
completely wound to unload the solder wire. It is best to rotate the reel by
hand as the wire is being pulled back in order to keep it neatly arranged on
the reel.
Or, If preferred, proceed as described before for perforated solder wire
unloading.
Changing Guide Kits
Disassembly
For this operation, disconnect the device from the mains. Unload any solder
wire running inside the guide tube, disconnect the tool from the control unit
and open its cover.
Before trying to remove any components from the device, be sure to loosen the
corresponding set screws. To do this, use the Allen key and spanner provided
with the station. First disassemble the guide tube set (1), the guide wheel,
blade and blade clamp or the support and traction wheels (4) + (5), and then
the nozzles (2) + (3). Lastly, disassemble the counter wheel (6). Introducing
the Allen key through the frontal opening (9) will make it easier to loosen
the screw of the counter wheel.
Note: The assembly steps are slightly different for devices with or
without solder wire perforation.
Assembly with Solder Wire Perforation:
Assemble the counter wheel (7). Make sure that its thread entry for the set
screw is aligned with the flat side of the axis (8). If not, the set screw
will protrude, which may cause difficulties for the wire transportation.
Inserting the Allen key through the front opening will make it easier to
tighten the screw (9).
Insert the intermediate nozzle (10) until its collar rests against the housing
and tighten its screw.
Assemble the inlet nozzle (11).
Assemble the guide wheel*
(12) and tighten the screw.
Assemble the blade first (13), then mount the blade clamp (14) onto the same
axis and tighten the screw. Caution: handle the blade carefully to avoid
injury.
Finally insert the guide tube set (15). 
Assembly without Solder Wire Perforation:
Assemble the counter wheel in the same way as shown on the previous page (7),
(8) and (9).
Insert the intermediate nozzle (10) until its collar rests against the housing
and tighten its screw.
Assemble the inlet nozzle (11).
Assemble the support wheel* (12) onto the axis and tighten the screw.
Assemble the traction wheel (13) onto the axis and tighten the screw.
Finally insert the guide tube set (14) and tighten the screw.
Solder Reel Assembly
Insert the solder reel in such a way –
when viewed from above – that the solder wire unwinds on the dispensing
mechanism side (4).
To assemble the reel
locking, its conical side must be pointing downwards.
Align the flat side of the axis (5) with the inner flat side (the one with the
screw) of the reel locking and reassemble it to the axis (6).
Note: To prevent the solder reel from spinning freely or binding, before
tightening the reel locking screw gently press the reel locking down, but only
enough to have the solder reel secured in place.
Main Menu Screen
Acces to Main Menu by pressing , select “Feeder settings” (1) and then “Wire
diameter” (2) to adjust the value to the current solder wire diameter.
Solder Wire Loading
Pass the solder wire through the wire
guidance and introduce the solder wire into the inlet nozzle 1) until it
reaches the wheels (2).
Solder Wire Loading
Pass the solder wire through the wire guidance and introduce the solder wire
into the inlet nozzle 1) until it reaches the wheels (2). Select “Tin reload
process” and then use to feed the solder wire and advance until it comes out
of the outlet nozzle. If needed, carefully push the wire until it gets locked
in between the rotating wheels for the wire to start moving forward. Keep
pressed and after a while, the wire will advance faster. Make sure the wire
passes through the intermediate nozzle (3) and enters the guide tube (4).
Replacing Guide Sets
Once the tool is disconnected from the control unit and has cooled down,
follow these instructions:
Unload the solder wire and disassemble the outlet nozzle (1) from the guide
set.
Loosen the guide tube set screw (2), take out the guide set (3) and insert the
desired one.
Put the outlet nozzle (1) back on the new cartridge. Leave a gap of 8 to 10 mm
(0.31 to 0.39 in) between the cartridge tip and the outlet nozzle (4).
Once the guide nozzle length is adjusted tighten the guide set screw
(2).
