Maintenance
– Before carrying out maintenance, always unplug the tool. – Use a damp cloth to clean the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts. – Periodically check that the metal parts of the tool are clean so the control unit can detect the tool’s
status. – Periodically check all cable and tube connections. – Maintain the tip surface clean and tinned before storage to avoid tip oxidation.
Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint. – Replace any defective or damaged parts. Use original JBC spare parts only. – Repairs should be performed only by a JBC authorized technical service. – Under normal operating conditions, the air gripper lifespan is 10 million cycles. It is recommended
to replace it at the end of its lifespan.

Reassembling
Once the parts are clean and completely dry, follow the reverse order of the disassembly steps. Apply threadlocker on all screws.
Once the contacts, their springs and the terminals are assembled together and the screws are tightened, check that the contacts work smoothly and that they do not get stuck.

Important: Reassemble the contacts according to their cable color in the correct position, as indicated below.

Safety
It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric shock, injury, fire or explosion. – Do not use the soldering iron for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may a cause fire. – Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on. – Be sure that the power supply is disconnected before changing any spare parts. – The temperature of accessible surfaces may remain high after the unit is turned off. Handle with care. – Allow the cartridges to cool down before changing them. – Heat can cause inflammable products to ignite even when not visible. – 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.
