• Microprocessor-controlled with closed circuit sensor design provides better performance and accurate temperature control.

• Temperature calibration function.

• Handle with sensor design switches work & sleep mode for real-time operation convenience.

• Provide 600W high power and wide temperature range up to 480°C.

• Auto cool-off process to prolong the lifetime of heating element.

• ESD safe design prevents static and electric leakage to damage the PCB.

• Complies with CE and ESD standard, conforms to RoHS.

• High quality air pump supply and quiet operation.

• Silicone handpiece cord wire heat-resistant up to 200°C.

• Additional ground contact and power cord socket.

• Interchangeable and applicable to most of branded hot air nozzles.

1. Please remove the pump securing screw (M5x12 with red mark) from the bottom of the rework station. Failure to do so may result in serious problems.

2. Insert the power plug into a socket.

3. Power on the rework station, and the LCD screen will display standby status after two seconds. When you lift the hot air gun, the LCD screen will display the last setting temperature.

4. Do not unplug the power plug instantly after turning off the power switch, because the fan will keep operating to cool down the heating element. The power plug can only be unplugged when the fan stops operation completely.

Note: The hot air gun cannot be placed on the holder while adjusting settings.

1. Power on the rework station and lift the hot air gun. The LCD screen will display the main menu, showing the last setting temperature.

2. Press the “SET” button for one second, then choose temperature setting mode or air speed setting mode.

3. In temperature setting mode, the “Set Temp” words will be shining. Adjust the temperature by using the UP ▲ and DOWN ▼ buttons. Alternatively, you can press the UP ▲ and DOWN ▼ buttons directly in the main menu to set the temperature.

4. In the air speed setting mode, the “Air Speed” words will be shining. Adjust the air speed by using the UP ▲ and DOWN ▼ buttons (air speed range from 20 to 100). After you stop adjusting for about two seconds, it will go back to the main menu.

The hot air gun should be recalibrated after changing the gun, replacing the heating element, or nozzle.

1. Press the “SET” button and Down button ▼ at the same time. The main menu will display “CAL” and the setting temperature. Press UP ▲ or DOWN ▼ to input the actual temperature, then press the “SET” button to confirm and go back to the main menu.

2. When the status display under the temperature is “—“, it means the temperature has not been calibrated.

• “H” or “HH”: This means the temperature has been calibrated and increased before.

• “L” or “LL”: This means the temperature has been calibrated and decreased before.

• “HHH”: This means the temperature has been calibrated to the maximum temperature. It cannot be increased further but can be decreased.

• “LLL”: This means the temperature has been calibrated to the minimum temperature. It cannot be decreased further but can be increased.

Press and hold the “SET” button and turn on the power switch. You can then switch the temperature display from °C to °F by pressing the UP ▲ or Down ▼ button. After making your selection, press the “SET” button to confirm and return to the main menu.

Press the UP ▲ and DOWN ▼ buttons at the same time while powering on the station. The rework station will go back to the initial setting. After one second, the LCD screen will return to the standby mode.

CAUTION: The reset mode will modify all parameters to the initial setting, so please do it carefully.

When the hot air gun is placed on the holder, its temperature will start to decrease, and the display will show “SLP” to indicate it is in sleep mode. When the temperature is lower than 100°C, the station display will show the standby screen. The station will wake up when the hot air gun is lifted from the holder.

After the rework station is turned off, the auto cool-off process leaves the blower on until the heating element cools down to 100°C. Then, the rework station will shut off automatically.

CAUTION: Do not unplug the power plug when the auto cool-off process is active. Do not touch the pins of the plug to prevent electrical shock.

1. Choose a proper suction cup according to the weight (less than 100g) and size of the object. Install the cap with the suction pen.

2. Put the suction cup horizontally on the surface of the object. Cover the hole on the suction pen, and the object will be absorbed.

3. Move the absorbed object, and then open the hole on the suction pen to release the object.

4. If you need to use the suction pen only, place the hot air gun on the holder so the rework station enters auto sleep mode. Press the UP ▲ or Down ▼ button to adjust the air speed (air speed range from 20-100).
