1.2 Do
MOT expe to heat above t50"C (t120DF) and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
1.3 Do NOT puncture or incinerate.
1.4 Excessive gas flow, flaming or catalyst pulsing red may occur
vffwn
the
regulator is
incorrectly adjusted, i.e.. set high. It is essential, therefore, to keep iron away from
face and body when igniting.
1.5
Do NOT refill, ignite or use near flame, heater, furnace or combustible materials.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
1.7 KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
All
visitors should be kept away from work area.
1.8 STORE IDLE TOOLS.
When
flat in use, tools should he stored in dry, and high or

1.
Push up. then turn the gas control ring clockwise to release a small amount of gas
(hissrng sound) through the burner. (Fig

long, it w~ll only
waste
gas.

TIPS ON USING YOUR SOLDERING IRON
I
1. Select the proper solder for your application. Most solders sold today have the flux
inside their cores. When makina electric or electronic connections always use rosin core
solder. For mechanical joining where the surfaces can be washed after
Gldering acid core
solder can be used. Common nonplumbing solder is an alloy of tin and lead. A "60-40"
solder is 60% tin and 40% lead. General purpose solders
range from 40-60 to 60-40.
63-37 solder has the lowest melting temperature and highest strength. The diameter of
the solder wire should generally match the
slze of the components to be joined.
2.
Be
sure
the
surfaces to
be
joined are clean. Remove any oil or grease. Surfaces can be
thoroughly cleaned by using abrasives such as emery cloth, steel wool or by scraping
or filing. The flux in the solder will remove the oxide layers which could prevent good
bonding.
NOTE: New units are shipped untinned. Remove plating at end of tip before tinning.
3. BE SURE THE TIP OF THE
SOl.DERlNG IRON IS CLEAN AND,WELL TINNED (COATED
WITH SOLDER). The solder on the
ti0
of the iron w~ll melt raoldlv and create a
conductive
path for thehkt to;&$ the work$ece. A small additional 'ambunt of solder may be
added to the tip while it is in contact with the workpiece to ensure good heat conduction.
4. If possible connect the workpieces mechanically, or position them as rigidly as possible.
5. Allow the soldering iron to heat sufficiently:
1
minute minimum to about
3
minutes for
optimum operating temperature.
6. Apply the heated tip of the soldering iron directly to the work. Heat the work surfaces
sufficientlv for the solder to melt on them. Aoolv the solder to the work surface directlv.
Do not juit melt the solder on the tip of the irori allowing it to fall onto the work. This
'
will cause poor bonding between the solder and the surfaces to be joined. Remove the
iron
quickly after the solder flows on the work surfaces.
