aoyue 968A+ User manual

Brand: aoyue

Model: 968A+

Category: Soldering irons

Type: User manual

aoyue 968A+ is a microprocessor-controlled electro-static discharge (ESD) safe unit with easy-to-use touch type panel controls and digital display. It is an environmentally friendly repairing system that integrates a hot air gun, soldering iron, and smoke absorber in one package. The built-in smoke extractor absorbs fumes created at the source. It has a knob type soldering iron temperature control for simple yet efficient working temperature selection and digital control and display of soldering iron temperature.
