Desoldering process

When desoldering, use a tip with a diameter larger than the pad being desoldered. This will achieve maximum suction and thermal efficiency.

The vacuum pump will continue to run for a few seconds. This makes sure that the vacuum circuit is completely empty. If any solder remains are left on a terminal, just resold it with fresh solder and repeat the desoldering operation.

Desoldering Iron Maintenance

Note: For the following operations, turn off the station or disconnect the tool and wait until the tool temperature drops to room temperature.

Changing Heating Element

Changing Iron Filter

Cleaning Soldier Collector

Note: For this operation, turn off the station or disconnect the tool and wait until the tool temperature drops to room temperature.

Tip Care

To prevent tip oxidation cover the tip with solder tin when not in use. Note: Do not press the vacuum pump button while tinning the desoldering tip, as the fumes given off by the flux would quickly block the ducts and the air filter.

Changing Tips
Note: This operation should be done while the tip is hot and at a minimum temperature of 250°C so that any tin left inside is still molten. 

Cleaning Tips
The tip hole should be periodically cleaned.
Note: Let the tool cool down before performing this operation.
Choose the cleaning rod diameter according to the tip size. Put the rod at the tip, gently move it back and forth while turning it slightly.

Compatible Tips

DS360 uses C360 tips. Different sizes are available for through-hole desoldering and for pad cleaning. Find the model that best suits your soldering needs at: www.jbctools.com

Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance, always switch the device off and disconnect it from the mains. Allow the equipment to cool down.

• Use a damp cloth to clean the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.

• Periodically check that the metal parts of the tool and stand are clean so that the station can detect the tool status.

• Maintain tip surface clean and tinned prior to storage in order to avoid tip oxidation.
  Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.

• 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.

Safety

It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to protect health and prevent electric shock, injury, fire, or explosions.
It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to protect health and prevent electric shock, injury, fire, or explosions.

• Do not use the tool for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause a fire.

• Do not work on electrically live parts.

• The tool should be placed on the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode. The soldering tip or nozzle, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot even when the station is turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the stand position.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.

• It is necessary to turn the station off before changing tips.

• Heat can cause inflammable products to ignite even when out of sight.

• Be careful with the remains of liquid tin. Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.

• Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.

• Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.

• Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when working to avoid personal harm.

• This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight as well as persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lacking experience provided that they have been given adequate supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved.
  Children must not play with the appliance.

• Maintenance must not be carried out by children unless supervised.
