1000 WickGun™ Desoldering Braid Dispenser
FEED DIRECTION
Loading the WickGun™
Important - With WickGun™ pointing left insert cassette with label
facing up so wick will feed from the right (counter clockwise).
1. Grasp cassette and pull out foam plug, then pull out
approximately 2 1/4" (57 mm) of wick.
2. Insert wick into guide slot. Rotate drive knob in feed
direction while seating cassette. Ensure wick is not
pinched between cassette and WickGun™ and that
cassette alignment tabs are seated in the alignment
slots in the gun.
3. If wick fails to feed, disengage cassette, grasp wick
and pull from wick guide slot, do not allow cassette
to unwind. Eliminate any kinks and/or frayed wick.
Repeat steps 1 – 2.
