Compatible Soldering Iron Handles

JBC offers a wide range of handles and grips to choose from.

T470: Handles for Heavy Duty

Use C245 Cartridge range.

For intensive soldering jobs requiring continued high thermal power. They feature a non-slip-grip with a good thermal insulation and a screw which fixes the cartridge and prevents rotation.

Changing and fixing the Cartridges

Before changing the cartridge, be sure that the tip is cold.

Once the cartridge is properly inserted we recommend tightening the screw to prevent moving.

*Important: It is essential to insert the cartridges as far as the mark for a good connection.

Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment to cool.

- Clean the station screen with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.

- 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 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:

Clean periodically

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. Press the new fuse into the fuse holder and replace it in 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.

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 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 soldering tip and the metal part of the tool may still be hot even when the station is turned off.

Handle with care.

- Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.

- Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite.

- Use a “non residue” classified flux and avoid contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.

- Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.

- Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protective 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 persons with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience provided that they have been given

adequate supervision or instruction concerning 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.
