    • The color of the Touch-Safe Indicator LED provides information about the status of the soldering iron tip. Note: the soldering iron grip is always safe to touch.

    • The LED only functions when the soldering iron is connected to a power source—so use caution when handling an unplugged iron if you don't know how hot it is.

    • Blue LED: The iron has cooled below 40 °C (100 °F), and the tip is safe to touch.

    • Purple LED: When pulsing, the iron is actively heating up or cooling down. When static, the iron is in Idle Mode. The iron tip is not safe to touch.

    • Orange LED: The iron has reached the set temperature and is ready to solder. The iron tip is not safe to touch.

    • Slide the power switch to the blue OFF position.

    • The LED will turn purple and pulse to show the iron is powering down.

    • Leave the soldering iron connected until the indicator ring turns blue, indicating it's now safe to touch the soldering iron tip.

    • Make sure the new tip is rotated in the orientation you want it relative to the handle before inserting it. This is helpful for asymmetrical tips like a bevel or knife.

    • Push the tip into the iron enclosure in the handle until it clicks into place.

    • The base of the tip should be slightly recessed into the front of the handle. If it isn't, push it further in before powering on the iron.
