4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Power On/Off

• Flip the main power switch located on the front panel to the 'ON' position. The LCD display will illuminate.
• To power off, flip the main power switch to the 'OFF' position. The unit will cool down before completely shutting off.

4.2. Adjusting Temperature and Airflow

• Temperature Adjustment: Rotate the main control knob to adjust the desired temperature. The temperature range is 212°F to 932°F (100°C to 500°C). The current temperature will be displayed on the LCD.
• Airflow Adjustment: Press the 'AIR' button (if available, or rotate the control knob while in airflow mode) to switch to airflow adjustment. Rotate the control knob to set the airflow level (1-120 levels).

4.3. Using Preset Channels (CH1, CH2, CH3)

The unit features three programmable channels (CH1, CH2, CH3) to store frequently used temperature and airflow settings.

1. Set Parameters: Adjust the temperature and airflow to your desired settings.
2. Save Preset: Press and hold the desired channel button (CH1, CH2, or CH3) for approximately 3 seconds until a confirmation beep or display change indicates the settings are saved.
3. Recall Preset: Briefly press the desired channel button (CH1, CH2, or CH3) to recall the saved settings.

4.4. Changing Nozzles

Ensure the unit is off and the hot air handle has cooled down before changing nozzles.

1. Allow the hot air handle to cool completely.
2. Carefully remove the current nozzle by pulling it straight off.
3. Select the desired straight or cyclone nozzle and push it firmly onto the handle's heating element.

4.5. Temperature Calibration Mode

To enter temperature calibration mode, press and hold the CH1 and CH3 keys simultaneously while the unit is powered on. Follow the on-screen instructions for calibration.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your rework station.

• Cleaning Nozzles: Periodically clean the nozzles to remove flux residue and debris. Use a soft brush or non-abrasive tool. Ensure nozzles are cool before cleaning.
• Unit Cleaning: Wipe the main unit and handle with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
• Air Filter: Check the air intake vents for dust accumulation. Clean as necessary to maintain proper airflow.
• Storage: Store the unit in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. Ensure the hot air handle is placed in its holder and the unit is unplugged.
