๐ ️ How to Replace the Soldering Handle
Replacing the handle is quick and easy. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Power Off & Disconnect
Make sure the Saike 952D is turned off and unplugged for safety. Let the existing handle cool down if recently used.
2. Unplug the Old Handle
Locate the connector of the soldering iron handle at the front of the station. Gently unplug it by unscrewing or pulling it out, depending on the model.
3. Plug In the New Handle
Take your new handle and plug it into the same port. Make sure the connection is secure.
