Cartridge Assembly

For a safe cartridge assembly/change, make sure that the tool is unplugged and that any cartridge in place has cooled down before following these guidelines:

Loosen the cartridge set screw (1), remove the used cartridge if there is any already in place, and insert the new cartridge up to its mark (2).
Important: It is essential to insert the cartridge completely for a good connection. Use the mark as reference (3).
Adjust the cartridge tip direction (4) and tighten the cartridge set screw (1).

Guide Nozzle

Guide Tube Set Assembly

Open the guide tube set screw (1) and insert the guide tube set.

Adjust the guide tube length (2). Leave a gap of 5 to 7 mm (0.19 to 0.27 in) between the tip and the outlet nozzle (3). Once the position is adjusted tighten the guide tube set screw (1).
For a better handling use the clips (4) to attach the guide tube to the tool cable.

Outlet Nozzle Replacement
Flux can cause clogging at the outlet nozzle of the guide tube set and it can be necessary to replace the worn or clogged outlet nozzle. Note: There is a nozzle size for each soldering wire diameter. The use of the nozzle is necessary as its inner diameter is adjusted to the solder wire diameter and guides the wire with greater precision. To replace the outlet nozzle, follow these steps: First, make sure that the tool has cooled down and unload any remaining solder wire that might still be inside the guide tube (see pages 11 and 12). Unplug the tool. Loosen the guide tube set screw (1) and detach the guide tube set from the tool for easier handling.

Once the outlet nozzle is released from the spring, pull the outlet nozzle out (3) and then remove the spring (4).

Alternatively, solder wire can also be fed using the pedal P405. The pedal should be plugged in at the rear of the feeder control unit into the pedal connector.

Solder Wire Unloading

With Solder Wire Perforation

To unload solder wire with perforation that has already passed through the guide tube, cut the wire between the wire guidance and the inlet nozzle (1).

To extract the wire out of the tube, hold the tool on your hand and press moving forward.

Grasp the wire coming out of the outlet nozzle with a pliers and pull from it until it is completely out.

Solder Wire Unloading

Without Solder Wire Perforation

When using a kit without solder wire perforation, press

until the wire is completely wound to

unload the solder wire. It is best to rotate the reel by hand as the wire is being pulled back in order

to keep it neatly arranged on the reel.

Or, If preferred, proceed as described before for perforated solder wire unloading.

Guide Kits Disassembly
For this operation, disconnect the device from the mains. Unload any solder wire running inside the guide tube, disconnect the tool from the control unit and open its cover.
Before trying to remove any components, be sure to loosen the corresponding set screws. To do this, use the Allen key and spanner provided with the station.
First disassemble the guide tube set (1), the guide wheel (4), blade and blade clamp (5) and then the nozzles (2) + (3). Note: The wheel components*3 on devices without solder wire perforation (10) are slightly different from those with solder wire perforation.
Lastly, disassemble the counter wheel (6), introducing the Allen key through the frontal opening (9) to loosen its set screw.

Assemble first the counter wheel (1). Make sure that its thread entry for the set screw is aligned with the flat side of the axis (2). If not, the set screw will protrude, which may cause difficulties for the wire transportation.

Inserting the Allen key through the front opening will make it easier to tighten the screw (3).

Maintenance
Before carrying out maintenance, always switch the device off and disconnect it from the mains. Allow the equipment to cool down.
– Clean the station display with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.
– Use a damp cloth to clean the casing and the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.
– Periodically check that the metal parts of the tool and stand are clean so that the station can detect the tool’s status.
– Maintain the tip surface clean and tinned prior to storage in order to avoid tip oxidation. Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.
– Periodically check all cables and tubes.
– Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use only original JBC spare parts.
– Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.

EARTH
– FUSE When this warning appears on the main screen, earthing fuse must be replaced.
– Replace a blown fuse as follows (applies to both the earthing fuse and the main fuse):
1. Pull off the fuse holder and remove the fuse. If necessary, use a tool to lever it off.
2. Insert the new fuse into the fuse holder and return it to the station.

Safety
It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric shock, injury, fire or explosion. – Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause a fire. – The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Be sure that it is properly grounded before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire. – Do not work on electrically live parts. – The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode. The soldering tip or nozzle, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot even when the station is turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the stand position. – Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on. – Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflammable products to ignite. – Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation. – Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering. – Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when working to avoid personal harm. – Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns. – This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight and also people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience provided that they have been given adequate supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance. – Maintenance must not be carried out by children unless supervised.
