4. Istruzioni per l'uso

This ammoniacal stone is used to clean and strip the tips of soldering irons, particularly those used in roofing and zinc work. Proper use ensures a clean tip for perfect and homogeneous soldering.

1. Heat your soldering iron to its operating temperature.
2. Gently rub the hot soldering iron tip across the surface of the ammoniacal stone.
3. Observe as residues and oxidation are removed from the tip.
4. Repeat the process as necessary until the soldering iron tip is clean and shiny.
5. After cleaning, tin the tip immediately with solder to prevent re-oxidation.

Nota: Always ensure adequate ventilation when using the ammoniacal stone, as fumes may be produced during the cleaning process.

5. Manutenzione e conservazione

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Express 9641 Ammoniacal Stone, follow these maintenance and storage guidelines:

• After use, allow the stone to cool completely if it has become warm from contact with the soldering iron.
• Store the ammoniacal stone in a dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Keep the stone in its original packaging or a sealed container to prevent contamination and prolong its shelf life.
• Avoid dropping the stone, as it may break or crack.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues while using the ammoniacal stone, consider the following:

• Pulizia inefficace:
  • Ensure the soldering iron tip is sufficiently hot. The stone works best with a hot tip.
  • Verify that the tip is making firm contact with the stone's surface.
  • The tip might be severely oxidized or pitted. In some cases, mechanical cleaning (e.g., with a brass wire brush) might be needed before using the stone.
• Excessive Fumes:
  • Ensure your work area is adequately ventilated. Use a fume extractor if available.
  • Avoid prolonged contact or excessive pressure, which can generate more fumes.
