Cordless Soldering Iron FAQs

How do you know when a soldering iron is ready?

After turning the device on, let it heat up for a minute or two. Once this time has elapsed, the iron should be hot enough to stream when touched to a sponge. If this does not occur, then wait a little longer. You will be able to tell when the soldering iron is ready to use. However, be careful not to touch the tip.

How can I ensure safety when soldering?

There are many things to remember when using a soldering iron. For safety reasons, you must never touch the element of the soldering iron and keep the cleaning sponge wet during use. Additionally, always return the soldering iron to its stand when not in use – never put it down on the workbench as this can cause burns. Lastly, remember to turn off the device when it is not in use.

Why has my soldering iron tip turned black?

It is best to avoid a few common mistakes when soldering to ensure the iron tip does not turn black. If you find that the tip has turned black after completing a project, this likely means it has now become oxidised. Ensure you wipe off the tip and replace it in its holder once you have finished using the device. Additionally, make sure your soldering iron is not left on for too long and is not at an extremely high temperature.
