INSTAHEAT™ IRON W/ CERAMIC HEATER
User Instructions

Safety

  1. Always solder in a well ventilated area.
  2. Never eat, drink or smoke while soldering. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before doing anything else.
  3. Never rest a hot iron directly against work surfaces. Always use an iron stand to safely hold a hot iron away from work surfaces.
  4. Never leave your soldering iron plugged in and unattended.
Operating Instructions
  1. Plug in and allow about 30 seconds for the iron to heat up.
  2. Although this iron maintains a constant temperature of 850º F, you may use a temperature control unit like the Inland MiniPhaser™ to lower the temperature for certain applications.
  3. Make sure that your materials are clean before soldering. Oxidized surfaces can be difficult to solder. 
  4. Brush flux onto the items being soldered.
  5. Feed the solder into the tip as you hold and move the iron tip along the seam. The rate you feed solder and move the tip along determines the quality, smoothness and appearance of the finished solder seam. Practice your technique before soldering your project.
Changing Tips
  1. Make sure the iron is cool.
  2. Loosen the nut at the end of the barrel by turning counterclockwise.
  3. Remove the tip and replace with new tip. Make sure you have the correct tip for your iron type.
  4. Secure the tip by replacing the nut and tightening until snug.
Maintenance
  1. Keep your iron tip clean while soldering while wiping on a damp sponge.
  2. Never use abrasive materials to clean your iron tips.
  3. Avoid dropping and banging your iron as this may break the ceramic core.
