Operation MP740054 and MP740056 Models Only

The soldering iron consists of the following parts:

• Tip
• Tip Nut Barrel
• Handle
• Minus Button
• Mode Button
• Plus Button
• Temperature Setting LED
• 3 Core Mains Lead

• Connect to the mains supply and turn on the soldering iron by pressing the mode button.
• Default temperature is 390°C as indicated by the LED when initially powered on, but thereafter the last set temperature is stored and restored after being powered off.
• The mode button LED flashes brightly when the heating element is on and flashes less bright when the set temperature is reached.
• If switching to a lower setting, the mode button LED goes off until the temperature has dropped to the new setting.

Temperature Adjustment

• Pressing + or - in the normal state will increase or decrease the temperature.
• Temperatures available: 350°C/662°F; 370°C/698°F; 390°C/734°F; 450°C/842°F; 480°C/896°F.
• The indicator LED lights for the setting chosen.

Shutdown

• Press the mode button in normal state to turn the iron off. Any LED indicating a set temperature goes off.

Troubleshooting

• If all 5 temperature indicating LEDs are flashing or if 'H-E' is displayed on the screen and there is no heating, the heating element may have failed.
• If all 5 temperature indicating LEDs are lit solidly or when 'S-E' is displayed on the screen, there is a fault in the temperature sensor.

Soldering Iron Tip Replacement

• Replacing the soldering iron tip should only be done when the iron is switched off and at room temperature.
• The tip can be changed or replaced by unscrewing the knurled nut barrel.
• Caution: Damage could occur if the iron is left on without the tip inserted.
• After removing the tip, blow out any remaining oxide dust that may have formed in the tip retaining area of the barrel.
• Warning: Care should be taken to avoid getting dust in your eyes.
• Replace the tip and tighten the knurled nut barrel assembly with your fingers.
• Pliers should only be used to tighten the nut if loosening occurs when the iron is hot.
• Do not over tighten the nut as the element could be damaged.

Cleaning

• Cleaning should only be done when the power is switched off and the iron is at room temperature.
• Use a damp cloth and a small amount of liquid detergent if necessary.
• Do not use any chemicals, abrasives or solvents that could damage the soldering iron.
