Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the TS101, slide your chosen tip into the handle until the ball screw mechanism locks it securely in place. Ensure you are using a power supply that meets the voltage requirements (9V-24V for DC or standard USB-C PD). For care, ensure the tip is properly tinned before powering down to prevent oxidation. Always use the included anti-slip cap to rest the iron when not in use to protect your workspace from heat damage. The TS101 is fully compatible with legacy TS100 tips, allowing you to use your existing collection.
