Resumen del manual
A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. Switch on WARNING. The gun will continue to heat up when the trigger (4) is pressed in. To extend the life of the gun, do not press the switch for long time. 1. Ensure that both tip release screws (2) are tight and the soldering tip (1) is fixed in and unable to fall out. 2. Insert the plug into an appropriate power socket. Ensure it uses the correct voltage (as stated on the rating plate of this tool). 3. Press the trigger (4) in until it clicks into place and wait approximately 6 - 8 seconds for the tool to reach operating temperature (230° C). The work light (3) will illuminate when the trigger (4) is pressed. Switch off WARNING. After releasing the trigger the tool may take some minutes to cool down to room temperature. During this time do not attempt to touch the tip (1), tip release screws (2) or shaft (6) as a serious burn may result. NOTE. It is highly recommended that the soldering tip is wiped clean on a damp sponge (not included) after use to prolong service life and performance. 1. Release the trigger (4). The work light (3) will turn off. 2. Gently rest the tool on a heat resistant mat and unplug the tool from the socket. 3. Allow the tip (1), tip release screws (2) and shaft (6) time to cool down before making contact. 4. The soldering gun may take several minutes to cool down. Ensure the tool is well minded until it has completely cooled down. Preparing to solder WARNING. Always use safety glasses and ensure the work area is well ventilated to help avoid breathing in dangerous fumes. The GMC Soldering gun is typically used to melt and apply solder on various surfaces including circuit boards. 1. Before beginning to solder, secure the work piece so that it does not move and affect your accuracy. 2. Prepare a damp sponge (not included) nearby to clean the tip when required. 3. Melt a small amount of solder onto the tip of the iron (1). This process is known as ‘tinning’ and will assist the heat in following from the soldering iron’s tip, to the solder joint. It is important to do this immediately with new soldering tips. 4. Ensure that the workpiece and soldering tip are clean. The workpiece can be cleaned with the use of a small file or knife blade. It is recommended that the user wipe clean the soldering tip with a damp sponge before, during and after soldering. This will help promote a cleaner and stronger solder joint. Soldering WARNING. Never touch the metal components of the tool during or straight after use as temperatures are very high. WARNING. The gun will continue to heat up when the trigger (4) is pressed in. To extend the life of the gun, do not press the switch for long time. 1. Hold the soldering gun tight by the rubber handle (5) and place the solder tip (1) on the work piece you intend to solder. 2. Pull the trigger (4) to heat up. The work light (3) will illuminate for your convenience. Allow the tool approximately 6-8 seconds to heat up to operating temperature. 3. With a cloth or the tip of the solder wire, wipe a very small amount of flux (provided) onto the workpiece. Only a very small amount is required as it will melt. Flux is primarily used to clean the workpiece and promote a stronger, cleaner and more durable solder joint. 4. Once the solder tip has heated up to the operating temperature (approximately 6 -8 seconds), hold the soldering gun with the tip (1) pressed onto the workpiece for a few second to allow it to heat up. 5. Slowly feed the solder onto the workpiece, allowing the solder to melt onto the joint. 6. Once the solder has been applied to the joint, hold the workpiece still while removing the solder and soldering gun simultaneously. NOTE. A good solder joint will appear smooth and shiny. If this is not the case, you will need to reheat the joint and re-apply the solder. Maintenance Removing the tip WARNING. Do not attempt to remove the tip while it is hot. 1. To help prevent the tip from bonding to the shaft, which may cause the heater element to burn out, it is recommended that the tip (1) be removed after each use. Turn both tip release screws (2) anti-clockwise until they are loose enough to remove the tip (1). 2. To remove the tip (1), turn both tip release screws (2) anti- clockwise until they are loose enough to remove the tip (1).
