5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

Flip the Power Switch to the 'ON' position. The digital display will illuminate, showing the current settings.

5.2 Adjusting Temperature and Air Flow

• Use the TEMP Up/Down buttons to set the desired temperature (range: 100-500°C).
• Use the AIR Up/Down buttons to set the desired air flow rate.
• The display will show the set values and then the actual values as they stabilize.

5.3 Using Preset Channels (CH1, CH2, CH3)

• To save current settings to a channel: Adjust temperature and air flow to your desired values. Press and hold the desired channel button (CH1, CH2, or CH3) until the display indicates the settings are saved.
• To recall saved settings: Briefly press the desired channel button (CH1, CH2, or CH3). The station will automatically adjust to the saved temperature and air flow.

5.4 Automatic Sleep Function

When the hot air gun is placed into its stand, the magnetic switch will detect its presence, and the unit will automatically enter a sleep state. The heating element will cool down, and the air flow will continue briefly to protect the element. When the hot air gun is removed from the stand, it will resume operation at the last used settings or the selected channel settings.

5.5 Desoldering Operation

1. Select appropriate nozzle and settings for the component and PCB.
2. Hold the hot air gun approximately 1-2 cm above the component to be desoldered.
3. Move the hot air gun in a circular motion to ensure even heating.
4. Once the solder melts, carefully remove the component using tweezers or a vacuum pick-up tool.
5. Return the hot air gun to its stand immediately after use.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Ensure the unit is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior of the main unit and hot air gun with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodically inspect nozzles for blockages and clean as necessary.

6.2 Storage

Store the unit in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. Ensure the hot air gun is properly seated in its stand.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Power: Check the power cord connection and ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify the power outlet is functional.
• No Heat/Air Flow: Ensure the hot air gun is properly connected to the main unit. Check if the unit is in sleep mode (remove gun from stand).
• Temperature Fluctuation: Ensure the air intake and exhaust vents on the unit are not obstructed. Operate in a stable ambient temperature.
• Error Codes: If an error code appears on the display, power off the unit, wait a few minutes, and power it back on. If the error persists, contact customer support.
