Duratool ZD-929C Quick Start Manual

Please read these instructions carefully before use and retain for future reference. • When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be followed. • Check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate corresponds with that of the local network before connecting the appliance to the mains power supply. • This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. • If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. • Do not leave the soldering station unattended, while it is powered on. • Never touch the soldering tip or the surrounding metallic parts before the soldering tip has cooled down completely. • Do not use the product near flammable items. • Turn the power off when this product is not in use. • The soldering iron must be placed on its stand when not in use. • Before storage, turn the power off and allow the product to cool down to room temperature. • Do not use this product for anything else other than that for which it is designed. • Do not use this appliance with wet hands. • Do not expose the soldering station to rain or moisture. • Ensure there is sufficient space and ventilation around the appliance to allow the escape of heat and/or fumes. • This appliance must be earthed. WHAT’S INCLUDED? • 1 Control Station with tip cleaning sponge • 1 Soldering Iron • 1 Iron Holder (can be mounted left or right side) • 1 User Manual OVERVIEW Soldering Iron Temperature Control Power Switch Sponge Iron Holder LCD Display ºC/ºF Button Soldering Station

Note: The first time you use the soldering iron, it may smoke slightly as the heating element dries out. This is normal and should only last for a few minutes. ONLY USE FOR ELECTRICAL WORK - Acidic solder will damage the iron tip. • Connect the plug on the soldering iron lead to the socket on the left hand side of the station. • Attach the holder to either the right or left hand side of the station and tighten the locking wheel and place the iron in the holder. • Connect the mains plug and turn on the power using the switch on the front of the station. The LCD will illuminate when the power is on. • Before using the soldering iron for the first time, dampen the cleaning sponge and place it in the tray on top of the station. Keep it damp during use. Adjusting the temperature • Switch the temperature display from ºC to ºF by pressing the “ºC/ºF” button if required. • Set the display switch to “SET” and regulate the temperature of the iron using the rotary control. • Turn the display switch to “READ” and the LCD read out will show the actual temperature of the tip. This will change until the tip reaches the set temperature. • When the actual temperature on the soldering tip is less than the set temperature, the red light on the display will flash indicating the heating element is active. • Between use (or during breaks), always put the soldering iron in the holder. • Lower the temperature during breaks as this extends the life of the tip. • When the soldering work is done, adjust the temperature to 270oC or switch off the power first, clean the tip and tin with fresh solder to protect it from oxidation. • Never file down the tips or attempt to clean using abrasives. • If the tip is worn, replacement Irons are available for this station - see our website or catalogue.

Tip is badly oxidized and requires cleaning. TROUBLESHOOTING CLEANING • Cleaning should only be done when the iron is switched off and at room temperature. • The iron may be cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of liquid detergent if necessary. • Never submerse the soldering iron in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the case. • Do not use any chemicals, abrasives or solvents that could damage the soldering iron.
