MAINTENANCE: REPLACING CARTRIDGE SEALS
1. Turn off the system and remove the desolder cartridge.

MAINTENANCE: REPLACING CHAMBER SEALS
1. Remove the air line and power cord from the desoldering handle.
2. Open the desoldering handle and lay it down with the hinge side facing up
toward you
3. Before removing the hinge pins, cover the hinge area with your hand as you
remove the top. They are spring loaded and might shoot out of the tool as the
top is removed. Take the end of a paper clip and push it into the small hole at
the front or rear of the hinge. This will push the hinge pin into the tool. You can
then wiggle the top of the tool away from the hinge pin. Repeat this with the
other hinge.
4. Remove the top half of the tool.

4. Replace the Chamber filter if it appears dirty and full of flux.
5. Replace the Chamber liner if it is full.
6. Lay the edge of your hand over the top of the collection chamber to provide a
seal. Press the trigger of the tool and verify that you feel a strong suction
against your hand.
7. If the suction is not strong, proceed to step 12. If the suction is strong and you
replaced wither the chamber filter or liner, close the tool, insert a cartridge, turn
the system on and press the trigger while melting some solder with the tip.
8. If the solder is not sucked into the tool, clean the tip with a thin wire or Tip
