- Connect Soldering Iron: Connect the soldering iron handle (BK902S) to its designated port on the main unit. Place the soldering iron in its stand.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the main unit and then to a grounded power outlet matching the station's voltage (110V or 220V).
- Initial Power On: Turn on the main power switch. The LCD screen should illuminate.
Operating Instructions
Independent Control:
The hot air gun and soldering iron can be operated independently. Use the dedicated switches on the front panel to activate each tool.
Figure 3: Independent control switches for the hot air gun and soldering iron.
Temperature and Airflow Adjustment:
Use the up and down arrow buttons on the control panel to adjust the temperature for both the hot air gun and soldering iron. The air volume for the hot air gun can also be adjusted via the control panel.
Figure 4: Large screen display for convenient operation and monitoring of settings.
One-Key Quick Setting (CH1, CH2, CH3):
The station allows you to save and recall three frequently used temperature and air volume profiles. Press the "CH" button to cycle through CH1, CH2, and CH3. To save a setting, adjust the temperature and air volume to your desired levels, then press and hold the "CH" button until the setting is saved to the current channel.

°C/°F Conversion:
The unit supports temperature display in both Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F). Use the dedicated button (often marked with an asterisk '*' or a specific C/F icon) to switch between the two units.
Figure 6: Temperature display conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Hot Air Gun Operation:
- Turn on the hot air gun switch.
- Adjust the temperature (100℃~500℃ / 212°F-932°F) and airflow (up to 120L/Min) as needed for your application.
- The hot air gun features rapid heating, reaching 896°F in approximately 7 seconds.
- After use, place the hot air gun back into its holder. The auto-cool function will activate, blowing cool air until the nozzle temperature drops to a safe level, then entering standby mode.

Soldering Iron Operation:
- Turn on the soldering iron switch.
- Adjust the temperature (180℃~480℃ / 356°F-896°F) using the control panel.
- The soldering iron heats up quickly, reaching 662°F in approximately 10 seconds.
- Always keep the soldering iron tip clean using the included sponge or brass wool.
- When not in use, place the soldering iron back into its stand to prevent accidental burns and activate auto-sleep if enabled.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the main unit, hot air gun nozzle, and soldering iron tip. Use a damp cloth for the main unit (ensure it's unplugged). For the soldering iron tip, use brass wool or a damp sponge.
- Tip Maintenance: Keep the soldering iron tip tinned to prevent oxidation. Replace tips when they become excessively worn or corroded.
- Hot Air Gun Nozzles: Ensure hot air gun nozzles are free from debris. Clean them periodically.
- Heating Elements: The heating elements (1370 for soldering iron, 853B for hot air gun) are consumable parts and may need replacement over time. Refer to the troubleshooting section for error codes related to heating elements.
- Storage: Store the station in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
Troubleshooting
The BK602S features short circuit protection and error reminders displayed on the LCD screen.
