WARNING: Risk of Burns and Fire. Always exercise extreme caution when using this tool.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, to protect against molten solder splashes.
- Ensure adequate ventilation in your workspace to avoid inhaling solder fumes. Use a fume extractor if possible.
- Do not touch the hot tip or metal parts of the desoldering iron. Temperatures can reach several hundred degrees Celsius.
- Place the desoldering iron on its included stand when not in use to prevent accidental contact or damage to surfaces.
- Keep flammable materials away from the desoldering iron.
- Unplug the iron from the power outlet when not in use or before cleaning and maintenance.
- Do not use the desoldering iron if the cord or plug is damaged.

Tatūnga
- Whakaritenga Mokowāmahi: Set up your workspace in a well-ventilated area. Ensure you have a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Turanga Tu: Place the included desoldering iron stand on your work surface. This stand is crucial for safely resting the hot iron when not actively desoldering.
- Hononga Hiko: Plug the desoldering iron into a standard electrical outlet (120V AC). The iron will begin to heat up immediately.
- Wā Whakawera: Allow approximately 3-5 minutes for the iron to reach its operating temperature.
Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
Follow these steps for effective desoldering:
- Prepare the Tip: Before first use or after extended periods, tin the tip by melting a small amount of solder onto it. This helps with heat transfer and prevents oxidation.
- Turanga: Place the tip of the desoldering iron directly onto the solder joint you wish to remove. Ensure the tip makes good contact with both the component lead and the PCB pad.
- Melt the Solder: Allow the iron to heat the solder until it becomes molten and shiny. This usually takes a few seconds.
- Whakahohehia te Momi: While the solder is still molten, quickly depress the red rubber bulb to create a vacuum, then release it. The molten solder will be drawn into the iron's hollow tip.
- Remove Iron: Immediately remove the desoldering iron from the joint once the solder has been removed.
- Tukurua mehemea e tika ana: For larger solder joints or stubborn connections, you may need to repeat the process. Sometimes adding a small amount of fresh solder to an old joint can help it melt more easily for removal.
- Tohutohu Horoi: Horoia te pito i runga i te pānuitanga i ia wāamp hautai, huruhuru parahi rānei hei tango i te konukōre taikaha me te waikura.
Te tiaki
- Aki horoi: Regularly clean the desoldering tip using a damp sponge or brass wool. A clean tip ensures efficient heat transfer and prolongs tip life.
- Tohutohu Tinning: Always tin the tip with a thin layer of solder after cleaning and before storing the iron. This prevents oxidation.
- Clearing the Nozzle: Over time, solder may accumulate inside the desoldering iron's nozzle. To clear it, ensure the iron is unplugged and cool. Unscrew the tip assembly and carefully remove any solidified solder using a small wire or the included cleaning rod (if applicable).
- Rokiroki: Store the desoldering iron in a dry, safe place when not in use.

|---|---|---|
| Ko te rino kaore e wera. | No power, faulty outlet, damaged cord/iron. | Check power connection and outlet. Inspect cord for damage. If damaged, discontinue use and replace. |
| Solder not melting or melting slowly. | Insufficient heat, oxidized tip, poor contact. | Allow more heat-up time. Clean and tin the tip. Ensure full contact with solder joint. |
| Solder not being sucked up. | Nozzle clogged, poor seal, solder not fully molten. | Clear the nozzle (see Maintenance). Ensure the tip is fully seated. Ensure solder is completely molten before activating suction. |
| Tip becomes discolored or corroded quickly. | Lack of tinning, improper cleaning, high temperature. | Always tin the tip. Use a damp sponge or brass wool for cleaning, not abrasive materials. |
