Operating Instructions

Hot Air Gun Operation:

1. Power On: Press the "ON/OFF" button to power on the hot air gun. The LCD display will illuminate.
2. Temperature Adjustment:
   • Press the (+) button once to increase the temperature by 1°C. Press and hold the (+) button to continuously increase the temperature.
   • Press the (-) button once to decrease the temperature by 1°C. Press and hold the (-) button to continuously decrease the temperature.
   • The newly set temperature will be saved after 3 seconds and maintained for the next power-on.
3. Airflow Adjustment: Use the "SET" button to toggle between temperature and air volume adjustment modes. Once in air volume adjustment mode, use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the airflow (1-10 levels).
4. Temperature Stabilization Indicator: When the symbol (F) or (C) flashes on the display, it indicates that the heating core has not yet reached the set temperature.
5. Automatic Shutdown: If the temperature drops below 70°C, the hot air gun will automatically stop rotation, enhancing safety and extending the unit's lifespan.
6. Power Off: Press the "ON/OFF" button to turn off the hot air gun. Allow the unit to cool down completely before storing.

908U Soldering Iron Operation (if included in set):

The 908U electric soldering iron features an LCD backlit digital display for precise temperature control.

1. Power On: Connect the soldering iron to a suitable power outlet.
2. Temperature Adjustment:
   • Press the (+) button once to increase the temperature by 1°C. Press and hold the (+) button to continuously increase the temperature.
   • Press the ((-) button once to reduce the temperature by 1°C. Press and hold the (-) button to continuously reduce the temperature.
   • The newly set temperature will be saved after 3 seconds and maintained for the next power-on.
3. Usage: Allow the soldering iron to reach the set temperature. Use for soldering tasks as required. Always place the soldering iron in its stand when not actively soldering.
4. Power Off: Unplug the soldering iron from the power outlet when finished. Allow it to cool completely before storing.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Ensure the hot air gun and soldering iron are unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Nozzle Care: Periodically inspect nozzles for blockages or damage. Clean any residue from the nozzles. Replace damaged nozzles.
• Air Vents: Keep the air intake and exhaust vents clear of dust and debris to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
• Soldering Iron Tip: Clean the soldering iron tip regularly using a damp sponge or steel wool cleaner (if included). Re-tin the tip with solder after cleaning to prevent oxidation.
• Storage: Store the hot air gun and accessories in a dry, safe place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
