Operation
JBC’s Most Efficient Soldering System
Our revolutionary technology is able to recover tip temperature extremely quickly. It means the user can work at a lower temperature and improve the soldering quality. The tip temperature is further reduced thanks to the Sleep and Hibernation modes which increase up to 5 times the life of the tip.
1. Work
2. Sleep
3. Hibernation
Long period in the stand
When the tool is lifted from the stand the tip will heat up to the selected temperature.
When the tool is in the stand, the temperature falls to the present sleep temperature.
Work Screen

After longer periods of inactivity, the power is cut off and the tool cools down to room temperature.
Work Temperature: Change from 90 to 450 ºC by tapping or on the screen. Temperature Levels: Tap Menu > Tools > Temperature levels and set them “ON”. The levels can be modified tapping Menu > Tools > Set temperature levels.
Sleep Delay: Tab Menu > Tools and select Sleep Delay to set the delay between 0 and 60 min or No Sleep. Sleep Temperature: Tab Menu > Tools and select Sleep Temperature to modify its value.

Maintenance
Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment to cool.
– Clean the station display with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.
Clean periodically
– 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 and establish its status.
– Maintain 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 a blown fuse as follows:
Fuse
Fuse Holder
Fuse holder
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 holder and return it to the station.
– Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only.
– Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.
11
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.
