2. Safety Instructions
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, when operating the soldering station.
- Operate the unit in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling solder fumes. Consider using a fume extractor.
- Do not touch the hot air gun nozzle or soldering iron tip directly. They reach very high temperatures and can cause severe burns.
- Ensure the unit is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Unplug the soldering station from the power outlet when not in use or before performing any maintenance.
- Keep the unit and its components out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel.
- Use the provided holders for the hot air gun and soldering iron to prevent accidental contact with hot elements.
- Avoid using the unit near flammable materials or liquids.
- The soldering iron features an ESD-safe design. Always follow proper ESD procedures when working with sensitive electronic components.
- Do not modify the unit or use non-original replacement parts. This may void the warranty and create safety hazards.

- Prepare Soldering Iron Stand: Place the cleaning sponge in the designated tray on the soldering iron stand. Moisten the sponge with water before use to aid in tip cleaning.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the back of the main unit and then plug it into a standard 110V AC power outlet.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 General Operation
- Turn on the main power switch located on the back of the unit.
- The LED display will illuminate, showing the current temperature settings.
- Use the "REWORK" switch for the hot air gun and the "SOLDER" switch for the soldering iron to activate each tool independently.

4.2 Hot Air Gun Operation
- Activate Hot Air Gun: Flip the "REWORK" switch to the ON position. The "REWORK" indicator light will turn on, and the LED display will show the hot air gun's temperature.
- Set Temperature: Use the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons to adjust the desired temperature for the hot air gun (range: 100°C to 480°C). Press "SET" to confirm.
- Adjust Airflow: Rotate the "AIR" knob to control the airflow intensity. Start with a lower setting and increase as needed for your application.
- Automatic Standby: The hot air gun handle is equipped with a sensor. When you pick up the handle, the unit will automatically enter operating mode. When you place the handle back into its holder, it will enter standby mode and initiate an automatic cooling process to protect the heating element.
- Application: Direct the hot air gun nozzle towards the component to be reworked. Maintain a safe distance to avoid damaging surrounding components.

4.3 Soldering Iron Operation
- Activate Soldering Iron: Flip the "SOLDER" switch to the ON position. The "SOLDER" indicator light will turn on, and the LED display will show the soldering iron's temperature.
- Set Temperature: Use the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons to adjust the desired temperature for the soldering iron (range: 200°C to 480°C). Press "SET" to confirm.
- Tinning the Tip: Before first use and periodically during operation, tin the soldering iron tip. Apply a small amount of solder to the heated tip to coat it evenly. This helps with heat transfer and prevents oxidation.
- Cleaning the Tip: Regularly clean the soldering iron tip by wiping it on the moistened sponge or brass wool to remove excess solder and oxidation.
- Soldering: Apply the heated and tinned soldering iron tip to the component lead and pad simultaneously. Feed solder onto the joint, allowing it to flow evenly. Remove the solder wire, then the iron.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your soldering station.
- Soldering Iron Tip Care:
- Always keep the tip tinned when hot to prevent oxidation.
- Clean the tip frequently with a damp sponge or brass wool.
- Replace worn or damaged tips promptly to maintain soldering quality.
- Hot Air Gun Nozzles: Ensure nozzles are clean and free of debris. Replace if damaged or clogged.
- Cleaning the Unit: Wipe the main unit and tools with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the soldering station in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. Ensure the hot air gun is in its holder and the soldering iron is in its stand.
- Power Cord: Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of damage. If damaged, discontinue use and replace it with an authorized cord.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Sumsour 8586 soldering station, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not power on. | Power cord not connected, main switch off, power outlet issue. | Check power cord connection, ensure main switch is ON, test power outlet with another device. |
| Hot air gun or soldering iron not heating. | Tool switch off, temperature set too low, faulty connection, damaged heating element. | Ensure the specific tool switch (REWORK/SOLDER) is ON, increase temperature setting, check cable connections, contact support if heating element is suspected faulty. |
| Poor solder joints (cold joints, bridging). | Insufficient temperature, dirty/oxidized tip, incorrect solder application, old solder. | Increase soldering iron temperature, clean and re-tin the tip, ensure proper technique (heat both pad and lead), use fresh solder. |
| Hot air gun not blowing air. | Airflow knob set to minimum, fan malfunction. | Adjust the "AIR" knob to increase airflow. If no air is blown, contact support. |
| Hot air gun not entering standby mode. | Handle not properly seated in its holder, sensor malfunction. | Ensure the hot air gun handle is fully and correctly placed in its holder. If the issue persists, contact support. |
