6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Power On/Off
- To turn on: Press and hold the power switch button for 3 seconds. The display will illuminate.
- To turn off: Press and hold the power switch button for 3 seconds. The display will turn off.
6.2 Temperature Adjustment
- Use the "+" button to increase the temperature. Each click increases the temperature by 5°C. Long press to rapidly increase temperature to the maximum of 450°C (842°F).
- Use the "-" button to decrease the temperature. Each click decreases the temperature by 5°C. Long press to rapidly decrease temperature to the minimum of 180°C (356°F).

6.3 Celsius/Fahrenheit Switching
- Press the "M" button (Mode button) to cycle between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) display modes.
6.4 Soldering Operation
- Ensure the soldering iron is heated to the desired temperature.
- Clean the soldering tip with a damp sponge or brass wool before and after use.
- Apply a small amount of solder to the tip (tinning) to improve heat transfer.
- Place the hot tip against the components to be soldered, allowing them to heat up.
- Apply solder to the heated joint, not directly to the iron tip. Allow the solder to flow smoothly.
- Remove the soldering iron and allow the joint to cool naturally.
