Operating Instruccions

Using the screwdriver, adjust the temperature setting to suit your requirement and wait for the pilot light to flash regularly, meaning that the pre-set temperature has been reached.
Hints on Soldering
For good soldering results, it is advisable to bear the following norms:

•  The components and the circuit should be clean and pre-tinned.

•  The tip should be well tinned. Select, preferably, a temperature under 325°C
  Cleaning the Tip

•  Disconnect the soldering iron.

•  Clean the area to be tinned to remove any oxide. We recommend using the metal brush Ref. 0297705 and the sponge
  Ref. S6169, or fine sandpaper, very carefully to avoid spoiling the long-life tip’s protective surface coating. Only deionized water (car battery water) should be used in order to wet the sponge. If normal water was to be used, it is very likely that the tip will become dirty due to the salts dissolved in the water

Changing the Tip
Use the tip removal device Ref. 0114108 (Fig. 1).

1.  Remove the ring to release the tip.
2.  Remove the tip by pulling the soldering iron lengthwise without forcing the element. Before fitting the new tip, clean the part of the heating element which is covered by the tip. This gets rid of any grime and facilitates fitting of the new tip.
3.  Insert the new tip and make sure that it has penetrated fully home.

Long-Life Tips

How are the JBC long-life tips manufactured?
All these protection layers avoid tin coming into contact with the copper basis and damaging it which gives such tip a 10 to 20 times longer working life than the traditional tip, while keeping its original shape without deformation by wear.

1.  Copper core
2.  Iron
3.  Nickel
4.  Chromium
5.  Tin plate

Electric Wiring Diagram

SL2020 Soldering Iron may be connected directly to any voltage supply between 120 and 240 V. When connected to 120 V, the temperature might drop to around 10%.
