Chapter 7: Essential maintenance tips for waxing irons

To ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your waxing iron, it's essential to properly maintain it. Here's a tip on how to care for your waxing iron.

• Avoid leaving the iron at high temperatures when not in use. Adjust it to 120°C (248°F) or turn it off. This is especially crucial after waxing at high temperatures.
• Always clean the iron with fiberlene paper after use to prevent small wax particles from accumulating and emitting fumes. Over time, these particles will adhere to the iron and cause it to turn black. If the plate becomes black, use fibertex to polish it.
• If the base plate is scratched or heavily soiled, use fine sandpaper (grit 500) before polishing it with fibertex. Always follow the direction of the base plate's movement.
• Avoid getting wax between the metal plate and the plastic top.
• Keep the iron in an upright position when not in use to prevent overheating of the internal electronics.
• Place the iron in a safe location where it won't fall to the ground. The new iron holder for T70-H2 is recommended.
• Be cautious when using solvents, as they can damage the internal components.
• Always hold the iron by the handle and never lift it by the cord.
• Avoid bending the cable excessively, as it can lead to cable breakage over time.

For World Cup technicians and other perfectionists, that demands the very best.

• A 35 mm thick plate gives stable temperature and optimal control when applying ski waxes.
• Temperature adjustment from 80°C to 200°C (176°F to 392°F).
• Movement sensor inside the handle with an automatic temperature drops to 120 degrees after 15 minutes of inactivity when using 170 degrees or higher.
• By movement, the temperature automatically returns to the last set temperature.
• The temperature sensor is fixed close to the bottom to secure the correct temperature.
• Angle on the heating plate of 7° facilitates optimal powder application and better distribution when melting the wax.
• A clear view of the iron plate's back and the front makes it easy to work in both directions.
• A width of 70 mm gives better control on cross-country skis.
• Ergonomic handle.
