is often the first "real" rework station on the bench. It’s a dual-purpose powerhouse that combines a high-heat soldering iron with a precise hot air gun. However, the original documentation can be a bit cryptic.
Hold the wand perpendicularly over the target component. Maintain a distance of 1–2 cm. Move the nozzle in small circles to distribute heat evenly.
Remove the nozzle to check airflow. Ensure the thick black hose leading to the wand is straight and unbent.
"Unit 952?" he called out, feeling foolish.
