Switching on / off and setting
the temperature
Switching on and setting the temperature:
Insert the mains plug into a mains socket and press the ON / OFF
switch
2 into position “ I”.
Turn the temperature control 6 to set the temperature you wish
to have.
Problems will occur during soldering if an unsuitable solder wire used.
The right soldering temperature must be achieved to produce perfect
soldering. If the temperature is too low the solder does not flow enough
and causes contamination of the solder at the joint, a so-called “cold
joint”. At too high a temperature, the flux (flowing aid) burns and the
solder does not flow. The high temperatures may also damage the
workpiece.
The temperature settings suitable for most soldering tasks are given
below. The precise settings may vary, depending on the solder and the
manufacturer.
Level min = room temperature
Setting 1 = approx. 100 °C – warming up stage and for solder with a
low melting point
Setting 2 = 200 °C melting point of most common soft solders
Setting 3 = 300 °C normal operating temperature, e.g. for using
lead-free solder
Setting 4 = 400 °C high soldering temperature, e.g. for desoldering
small soldered joints
