Usage Instructions
- Heat the solder joint using a soldering iron until the solder becomes molten.
- Select the appropriate needle size corresponding to the component lead.
- Insert the hollow needle over the heated component lead, allowing the solder to flow into the needle’s cavity.
- Gently rotate and lift the needle to separate the component lead from the solder pad.
- Repeat the process for all leads before removing the component from the PCB.
Maintenance Tips
- Clean the needles after each use to prevent solder buildup.
- Store the needles in the provided case to protect them from damage and maintain organisation.
- Inspect needles regularly for signs of wear or damage and replace as necessary.
Safety Precautions
- Always wear appropriate eye protection when performing soldering or desoldering tasks.
- Handle heated tools and components with care to prevent burns.
- Ensure proper ventilation in the workspace to avoid inhaling solder fumes.
