How to solder

• Thoroughly clean parts to be soldered.
• Use solder sparingly. Excess can spread to other connections and cause a short circuit.
• Tin the tip by plugging in the iron and letting it heat fully (about three minutes). Rub solder on all its tapered surfaces until the tip is completely coated. Wipe off excess solder with a soft, moist cloth or sponge (or you can use a such as catalog no. )
• Before soldering, tin the wire by heating it and letting a small amount of solder flow onto it.
• Apply the tapered surface of the tip (not its point) to the joint to be soldered. Then apply solder to the heated joint. Do not let solder flow onto the joint by melting the solder on the tip of the iron.

WARNING:

• Work only in a dry area that is free from flammable materials.
• Do not attempt to touch the tip of a hot soldering iron or remove solder from its surface with your hands.
• When not in use, always place the soldering iron on a safety stand.
• Store the soldering iron in a dry, secure place where children cannot reach it.
