SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Like all electrical devices, the solder station must be handled with

care. The soldering iron and tip can reach high temperatures and

these simple safety rules should be followed.

1. Keep children out of reach of the soldering station.

2. To protect your eyes, use safety goggles.

3. Keep flammable material away from the soldering iron.

4. DO NO

T cool iron by dipping it into any liquid or water.

5. Always assume that the tip is hot to avoid burns.

6. Work in an area that is well ventilated.

7. Be careful that the hot soldering iron tip or the barrel of the iron

does not come in contact with any electrical cord.

8. Do not hold solder in your mouth. Solder contains lead and is

a toxic substance. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling

solder.

9. Locate solder station in an area where you do not have to go

around it or reach over it.

Soldering Surface Mount Components

Using tweezers or small long nose pliers, place the iron in contact

with the PC board foil. Apply a small amount of solder simultaneously

to the foil and components, allowing them to melt the solder.

Remove the iron and allow the solder to cool. The solder should have

flowed freely and not lumped around the component.

Apply the lowest heat possible while still having solder flow freely

(suggested temperature setting: 625

F).

Heat Sinking

Electronic components such as transistors, IC’s, and diodes can be

damaged by the heat during soldering. Heat sinking is a way of

reducing the heat on the components while soldering. Dissipating the

heat can be achieved by using long nose pliers, an alligator clip, or a

special heat dissipating clip. The heat sink should be held on the

component lead between the part and the solder joint.
