## Procedure
|
|
|
|
1. Turn on the solder pot to its highest temp.
|
|
|
|
1. (First time) Add a piece of lead-free solder.
|
|
|
|
1. After initial use, the pot will melt the current solder in it from last use.
|
|
|
|
1. As the first piece melts, add additional pieces of lead free solder until the melted level is near the top of the solder pot.
|
|
|
|
1. Use the skimmer to remove the top layer of residue from the melted solder.
|
|
|
|
1. Using tweezer, dip your component leads into the solder. The only the leads should be put into the solder, avoid contact with component itself.
|
|
|
|
1. Repeat 4 and 5 for all components.
|
|
|
|
1. Turn the solder pot off. The remaining solder will solidify and will be melted again in future use.
