Sealing Plug Replacement
The Sealing Plug is meant to prevent undesirable flux vapors or particles from entering inside the tool.
Its usage is highly recommended for intensive applications when soldering is exposed to FOD environments or for applications where the soldering iron works close to a vertical position.
Before replacing the seal, unplug the power supply and make sure the device is not hot.

1. Removing Enter a small shaft or screwdriver in order to gently lift and pull the sealing plug. Do not insert the tool more than 8 mm deep. Never use a cartridge to do this operation.	2. Mounting Note the sealing plug mounting position: The chamfered side has to be positioned towards the handle.
	3. Inserting Gently push the sealing plug inside the handle until it is completely into the handle. Handle and seal edges have to be aligned.
