4. Setup

Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Connect the Hot Air Gun Power Cable: Locate the multi-pin connector on the hot air gun cable and align it with the "SOLDER" port on the front of the main unit. Gently push and twist to secure the connection.
2. Connect the Station Power Cable: Insert the provided power cable into the power inlet on the rear of the main unit. Connect the other end to a suitable AC110V power outlet.
3. Install the Gun Bracket: The gun bracket attaches to the side of the main unit. Align the screw holes and use the provided screws and mini screwdriver to securely fasten the bracket. This bracket provides a safe resting place for the hot air gun when not in use and activates the automatic cooling function.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

Press the POWER switch on the front panel to turn the unit on or off. The LED display will illuminate upon power-on.

5.2 Temperature Adjustment

Use the TEMP adjustment buttons (▲ and ▼) to set the desired hot air temperature. The temperature range is 100°C to 500°C. The unit features intelligent temperature memory, recalling the last set temperature upon restart.

5.3 Airflow Adjustment

Rotate the AIR knob to adjust the airflow speed. There are 8 levels of adjustable airflow. For hot-sensitive SMD work, a softer air setting is recommended.

5.4 Automatic Cooling Down

When the hot air gun is placed back into its cradle (gun bracket), the unit will automatically initiate a cooling process. The fan will continue to run until the temperature drops to a safe level, then the unit will enter standby mode. This protects the heating element and extends the life of the hot air gun.

5.5 Nozzle Installation

The hot air gun comes with three different sized air nozzles (3.2mm, 5mm, 8mm). To install a nozzle, simply push it onto the end of the hot air gun. Ensure it is securely fitted before operation.
