| + | [title] Clean the soldering iron |
|---|---|
| [* icon_caution] The soldering iron tip will be very hot! Be careful when handling the soldering iron during its operation. | |
| - | [* black] Hold down the dry sponge. |
| + | [* black] Hold down the damp sponge. |
| + | [* icon_note] Use a damp sponge not a wet sponge so it won't burn. Also make sure the sponge is made from a cellulose material not a polymer. You don't want the sponge to melt and mess up your iron. |
| [* black] While the soldering iron is hot, use a rubbing motion across the sponge to remove excess solder off the soldering iron tip. | |
| + | [* black] When you have cleaned the iron, melt a small amount of solder on it to "re-tin" the tip. |
