REPLACEMENT/CARE

Tip Cartridge Replacement

Thermaltronics tip cartridges are very easy to install and remove; make sure that

you turn off the power supply rst. A simple “pull action” will disengage the tip from

its connector. When reinserting a new tip, the cleverly designed inner shaft of the

handpiece will self centre the tip in order to ensure quick and easy assembly. A tip

removal pad is included and should be used when inserting or removing hot tips from

the handpiece. This tip removal device is made of a special heat shielded material and

will protect the operator.

Important notice: Pliers should not be used when tip cartridges are being extracted from or

inserted into the handpiece. Any undue mechanical force may damage the heater coil and

will result in premature failure of the tip cartridge.

Tip Care

1. Use good quality solder, impurities in the solder can build up on your tip, effecting

heat transfer and making it difcult to solder.

2. Do not overfill your sponge tray with water, and always use DE-Ionized Water.

Please change your sponge regularly; solder residue can have an abrasive effect

on the end of tips and cause premature failure. You can also use brass mesh pads

made for the same purpose.

3. Please use TMT-TC-2 tip tinner to clean oxidation.

4. Keep your tip tinned at all times, a non tinned hot tip will oxidize quickly and

performance will be compromised.

5. When reinserting tips, make sure they are properly seated in the shaft of the

soldering handpiece.
