6.2. General Care

• Store the soldering station in a dry, clean environment when not in use.
• Ensure the unit is unplugged and cooled down before storage or transport.
• Keep the unit free from dust and debris.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1. "S-E" Errors

If "S-E" appears on the screen, it indicates a sensor failure or a short circuit in the heating core.

• Response Measure 1: Re-calibrate the temperature as described in Section 5.4.
• Response Measure 2: Check if the handle plug is securely inserted into the soldering station unit.
• If the error persists after these steps, contact LAKIX customer support for further assistance.
