MAINTENANCE
A. TipMaintenance
1.TipTemperature
Hightemperature shortens tip life and may cause thermalshockto components.
Alwaysusethelowestpossibletemperaturewhensoldering.Theexcellentthermal
recovery characteristics of the 2901 station ensures effective soldering at low
temperature.
2.Cleaning
Always clean the soldering tip before use to remove any residual solder or flux
adheringtoit. Use acleanandmoistcleaningsponge. Contaminantsonthetip
havemanydetrimentaleffectsincludingreducedheatconductivity whichcontribute
topoorsolderingperformance.
3.Afteruse
Alwayscleanthe tip and coat it withfreshsolderafteruse. Thisguards against
oxidation.
