4. How to Solder
•
File off any dirt, rust or paint on the parts you wish to solder.
•
Heat the parts with the soldering iron.
•
Apply resin-based solder to the part and melt it with the soldering iron.
NOTE: Be sure to apply a solder paste to the part before applying non resin-based solder.
•
Wait for the solder to cool and harden before moving the soldered part.
CAUTION: Handle a heated soldering iron with extreme care as the high temperatures may cause
burns.
•
The soldering iron may produce smoke at first use due to a dried out heating element. This is normal
and should only last for approx. 10 minutes.
•
Never file the soldering tip.
•
Use a soldering iron stand in order to avoid burns.
•
The temperature of the soldering iron will drop if it is used without the tip.
•
Let the soldering iron cool after use.
•
The mains cable of this device should not be replaced. Discard the device if the power cable has been
damaged.
•
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
•
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
•
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
5. Tips
All tips have a special coating to prevent plastic sticking to the tip
Knife: For cutting and removing sections including the removal of supports, brims and rafts
o
from your 3D print.
Needle: For clearing small holes or for detailed layer refinements in hard-to-reach places.
o
Point: General purpose tip for larger internal features and holes. Can also be used to make
o
holes after printing.
Scoop: Perfect to remove stringing and imperfections from inside holes or recesses. Can also
o
be used to blend surfaces.

Operating Temperature

The most common soldering alloys used in the electronics industry consist of 60 % tin and 40 % lead.
The operating temperature of this type of solder is detailed below and can vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. However, to meet RoHS requirements, these solders are no longer allowed and are
replaced by lead-free solders that require a working temperature which is ± 30 °C (54 °F) higher.

Normal operation
Production line operation
A good joint is assured if the iron's operating temperature is set within the parameters suitable for the
type of solder being used. The solder will flow too slowly if the temperature is too low; if the temperature
is too high, the flux in the solder may burn which will give rise to billowing white smoke. In turn, this will
result in a dry joint or in permanent damage to the PCB.
