MAINTENANCE
A. TipMaintenance
1.TipTemperature
High temperature shortens tip life and may cause thermal shock to 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
adhering to it. Use a clean and moist cleaning sponge. Contaminants on the tip
havemanydetrimentaleffectsincludingreducedheatconductivitywhichcontribute
topoorsolderingperformance.
3.Afteruse
Always clean the tip and coat it with fresh solder after use. This guards against
oxidation.
4.Whentheunitisnotbeingused
Neverallowtheunittostayidleathightemperatureforextendedperiods.Thiswill
allow the tip to become oxidized. Turn the power switch OFF if it is to be out of
