Dual Heat Soldering Gun
(640-2187)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 31995

WARNINGS:  Arrange a secure resting place for the soldering gun so the hot
           tip never contacts a flammable surface, your body, or the power
           cord.

           Do not attempt to remove solder from a surface with your hands.

           Work only in an area that is dry and free from flammable
           materials.

           Store the soldering gun in a dry, secure place where children
           cannot reach it.

           We recommend you turn the soldering gun off for 4 minutes after
           each minute of use.  Never tie down the trigger so the tip
           remains at peak temperature.  Doing so will damage the tip and
           the soldering gun.

Follow these steps to use the soldering gun.

1.  Plug the soldering gun's power cord into a standard AC outlet.

2.  Apply the soldering iron tip to the two surfaces of the joint to be
    soldered and squeeze the trigger as follows to apply heat to the joint.

    Squeeze the trigger to the first position for low temperature - 150
    watts, 950 degrees F.

    Squeeze the trigger to the second position for high temperature - 230
    watts, 1100 degrees F.

    WARNING:  Do not touch the tip with your hands!

    NOTE:  It takes about 10 seconds for the tip to reach soldering
           temperature.  While you squeeze the trigger, the soldering gun's
           light illuminates the soldering joint.

3.  Apply solder to the joint, not directly on the gun's tip but close to
    it. When the surfaces get hot, the solder begins to flow into the
    joint.

    NOTE:  Do not apply too much solder to the joint.  Use only enough to
           produce a shiny and smooth appearance.

4.  Remove the tip from the joint, then release the soldering gun's
    trigger.  Place the soldering gun in a safe position to cool.
