User Manual

1. Melt the solder: Hold the iron so that the nozzle is located directly over, but not

touching the IC and allow the hot air to melt the solder. Be careful not to touch the

leads of the IC with the nozzle.

2. Remove the IC: Once the solder has melted, remove the IC by lifting the pliers.

3. Turn the power switch off: After the power switch is off, an automatic blowing

function begins sending cool air through the pipe in order to cool both the heating

element and the handle. So do not disconnect the plug during this cooling process.

4. In case you don’t use the unit for a long time, disconnect the plug.

Note: After the power switch off about one minute later, the temperature will fall

down to 75℃ (167℉) and power automatically shut off.

5. Remove any remaining solder: After removing the IC, cleaning the remaining

solder chips with a wick or desoldering tool.

Note: For SOP, PLCC etc. would recommend by using tweezers iron to desolder.

QFP Soldering

1. Apply the solder paste: Apply the proper quantity of solder paste and flux

(preferably no-clean) and place install the SMD on the PCB.

2. Preheat SMD.

3. Soldering: Heat the lead frame evenly.

4. Washing: When soldering is completed, wash the area with a defluxer.

Note: While there are many advantages of hot air SMD rework, it is also possible

to have defects for soldering BGA. Will recommend to inspect all soldering joints

closely.

MAINTENANCE

DESOLDER TIP REPLACEMENT AND DRESSING

Desolder tips can be changed or replaced simply unscrewing the barrel nut assembly.

The station must be turned off and allowed to cool before this operation. If the system

is left on without a tip in place, damage to the iron assembly may occur!

After removing the tip, blow out any oxide dust that may have formed in the tip

receptacle. Be careful not to get dust in your eyes. Replace the tip according to

Figures 3-9 and hand tighten the securing screw for the barrel nut assembly. Pliers can

be used to avoid contact with hot surfaces BUT SHOULD BE USED WITH

CAUTION because over tightening may cause damage to the element or fuse the tip

to the element.

PROCEDURE FOR CLEANING CLOGGED TIPS

CAUTION: This procedure is to be working in high temperature. Be careful to avoid

burning your fingers during this operation.

1. Be sure that the spring wire (included) will not go through the nozzle of the

desolder tip.

2.Adjust the heating element to a higher temperature allowing the clogged solder to
