3. Clean threads of the threaded stud with a wire

brush to ensure good contact with the new carbon
tips (Figure 9). Burned threaded studs will not pro-
duce good contact and will not heat properly.
Replacement threaded studs are also available if
they are damaged.

4. Never apply torque to the insulated handles because

you can crack the plastic material.

Electrical equipment must be kept indoors

or well covered in rainy weather. Store the tool in a
locked area that is out of reach of children and people
unfamiliar with an Electric Soldering Gun. This tool can
cause serious injury in the hands of untrained users.

The carbon tips are brittle. Care should be

taken when handling them. Do not over-torque and use
wrenches only when needed – otherwise, make every-
thing “finger tight”.

The carbon tips will wear down as the RT-175 is used.
They should be inspected before each use and replaced
before the threaded studs begin to show through.

1. Unplug the RT-175.

2. Hold the lock nut and back-off the carbon tip by turn-

ing it counter-clockwise (Figure 8).
