9. Desoldering
• Ifthecomponentyouwishtodesolderisdefective(forexample,alargeIC),youcanpointthenozzledirectly
at the component and not at the pins. Especially in the case of components with connection pins on each side,
desoldering may be practically impossible.
• When desoldering, always make sure that the conductor paths are not heated up, otherwise they may detach from
the carrier material.
• PleaseremovetheICwithpincersortweezersassoonasthesolderingtinismelted.
• After you have removed the component, you can remove the remaining soldering tin with a desoldering suction
pump (not included).
10. Use as a hot air blower
• The hot air nozzle can also be used for heating suitable objects, for example, for shrinking shrink tubes.
• Depending on the size of the object, the hot air nozzle can be operated with or without the nozzle. Make sure when
heating that no surrounding components/objects can be damaged.
 Inthecaseofimproperhandlingorheatingofunsuitableobjects,thereisdangerofre/explosion!
Never point the hot air jet toward your body, risk of burns/injury!
 Heatingobjectsmaycausetoxicandharmfulgasestoform.Therefore,alwaysensuresufcientventilation.
11. Changing the soldering tip
Use a suitable soldering tip depending on the soldering job at hand.
 Youcanndsuitableaccessories onthe productrelated websiteatwww.conrad.com. Enter the order
number into the search bar.
Only use soldering tips that are recommended for use with the soldering station.
The use of other soldering tips can lead to a false temperature reading (the actual temperature of the
soldering tip does not match the temperature display). In addition, the heating element can be damaged.
This leads to a loss of the warranty.
Whenworkingonsmallcomponents,useaverynesolderingtip.However,whensolderingonlargercomponents,
asolderingtipwithabroader/attipshouldbeused.Alargersolderingtipcantransfermoreheatsothesoldering
process goes more quickly.
