SOLDERING GUN

POWX1386

1 APPLICATION

Soldering gun is suitable for soldering on printed circuit boards, soldering of plastic and for

burning work on wood and leather. All other applications are specifically excluded. It is not

designed for commercial use.

WARNING! For your own safety, read this manual and the general safety

instructions carefully before using the appliance. Your power tool should

only be given to other users together with these instructions.

5. Handle

6. Power supply lead

3 OPERATION

3.1 Connection

This soldering gun may only be connected to single phase alternating current. The voltage

of the electric power supply on the network must correspond with the instructions on the

type plate of the machine. Connection to a socket without an earthed contact is also

possible since the double insulation complies with the standard requirements according to

DIN EN60335-1:2002.

3.2 Switching on

CAUTION’ Use this appliance only for work which is included in the

established operative range

▪ Switch-on: press switch (4) and leave pressed. Status indicator (3) lights up when

the appliance is switched on.

▪ Switch-off: release switch 4.

▪ The duration of the current supply determines the heat of the solder (longer current

supply = higher solder temperature). While soldering, do not keep the switch pressed

for too long. Determine the necessary duration for current supply in practice through

control of the temperature of the solder. As soon as you release the switch, the

temperature of the solder is automatically reduced. A subsequent turning on of the

switch ensures a fast increase in temperature. Constant solder temperature

guarantees optimum solder quality, avoids running the soldering tip at temperatures

which are too high and extends the service life of the appliance.

POWX1386 EN Below, we give you some examples of poorly soldered joints: ▪ It the soldering tin is tear-shaped, the soldering coagulate was too cold. ▪ If the soldering tin is dull and slightly porous or crystalline, the parts were probably moved during the cooling process. ▪ If too little soldering tin has been left in the joint, the soldering was too warm or the soldering tin was not melted sufficiently.
