Release the sleeve and pull out the soldering tip.

IMPORTANT:
Do not overtighten the sleeve, this can damage the heating element.

Temperature calibration
The product has automatic temperature control that keeps the soldering temperature constant. After replacing the soldering tip the temperature control must be re-calibrated.
Follow the instructions for setting the temperature compensation to do this.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE OF SOLDERING TIP

Tin the soldering tip after you have finished soldering.
Avoid using a high soldering temperature for too long. A high temperature wears out the soldering tip and reduces its life span.
Do not rub or knock the soldering tip against anything during the soldering, this reduces its life span.
Do not rub the soldering tip against rough surfaces or file it.
Clean the tip with fine emery paper and wipe with a solution of benzophenone.
Tin the soldering tip at 200°C after cleaning to avoid oxidation.
Do not use flux that contains acid or chlorine.

IMPORTANT:

Clean the soldering tip at regular intervals.

CLEANING

Clean the station unit and soldering iron with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent.
Make sure no liquid gets into the product.
Do not use organic solvent.

IMPORTANT:
Switch off the product, pull out the plug, and wait until the product has cooled before checking, adjusting, maintenance and/or replacing accessories, and before putting it away.
