1. Introduction and Safety Information

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective use of your LEXIVON Butane Soldering Iron Multi-Purpose Kit. Please read all instructions carefully before operation and retain this manual for future reference.

1.1 General Safety Warnings

• Always operate in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.
• The soldering iron tip reaches very high temperatures. Avoid direct contact with skin or flammable materials.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not store near heat sources, open flames, or in direct sunlight.
• Use only high-quality butane fuel.
• Ensure the iron is cool before storing or changing tips.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses.
• Never attempt to repair the tool yourself. Contact qualified service personnel.

2. Package Contents

3. Setup

3.1 Fueling the Soldering Iron

1. Ensure the soldering iron is completely cool and the flame adjustment is set to the minimum position.
2. Hold the iron upside down.
3. Insert the nozzle of a high-quality butane fuel canister into the filling valve at the bottom of the iron.
4. Press firmly for approximately 10-15 seconds until the tank is full. Do not overfill.
5. Allow a few minutes for the butane to stabilize before ignition.

3.2 Installing/Changing Soldering Tips

1. Ensure the iron is cool and turned off.
2. Carefully unscrew the existing tip or protective cap.
3. Select the desired tip for your application.
4. Gently screw the new tip onto the heating element until snug. Do not overtighten.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Ignition

1. Ensure the flame adjustment is set to a low or medium position.
2. Slide the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Press the ignition button. You should hear a click and see a flame or glowing element.
4. If it does not ignite, repeat the process. If still unsuccessful, check butane level.

4.2 Temperature Adjustment

The LEXIVON Butane Soldering Iron allows for temperature adjustment by controlling the butane flow. Rotate the flame adjustment knob to increase or decrease the heat output. Higher settings provide more heat for larger joints or faster work, while lower settings are suitable for delicate components.

4.3 Soldering Techniques

1. Prepare the Workpiece: Ensure components and PCB pads are clean and free of oxidation.
2. Heat the Joint: Apply the hot soldering iron tip to both the component lead and the PCB pad simultaneously. Heat for 1-3 seconds.
3. Apply Solder: While the joint is hot, touch the solder wire to the heated joint (not directly to the iron tip). The solder should flow smoothly and evenly around the joint, forming a shiny, cone-shaped connection.
4. Remove Solder and Iron: First, remove the solder wire, then immediately remove the soldering iron.
5. Allow to Cool: Do not move the component until the solder has solidified (a few seconds).

For desoldering, use a desoldering pump or braid in conjunction with the heated iron to remove old solder.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Tip Cleaning and Care

• Regularly clean the soldering tip by wiping it on a damp sponge or brass wool. This removes oxidation and old solder, ensuring efficient heat transfer.
• After cleaning, "tin" the tip by applying a small amount of fresh solder. This protects the tip from oxidation.
• Never file or sand the tip, as this can damage the protective plating.
• Replace tips when they become excessively pitted or corroded and no longer hold solder effectively.

5.2 General Cleaning and Storage

• Ensure the iron is completely cool before cleaning.
• Wipe the body of the iron with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Store the soldering iron in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and flammable materials.
• Always store with the protective cap on the tip.
