Does the light on the left side (towards rear) indicate that the iron is at proper temperature or overheated? Too bad the manual only has pictograms.

When it is on, the iron is heated. It does not overheat to my knowledge or experience.

The switch is right/left movement and is hard to see. I think that it's on when the left side is in or down. It should take 25 pulls to get it stated for the first time. Also pump the primer bulb 5-10 times to get fuel to the carb.

I would say the same thing as the three previous answers. Its kind of a trial and error initiation and the way you know you done it right is the indicator light.

when the light is red give it few seconds to turn green green means its at temp you chose to use it if its blinking red that just means it fell under temp while you were using it once its green again beginstyling

When properly working the two green lights and top red light on each side will be lit. any other combo will indicate an issue with power.

On the left side is a dot. Make sure the R or the G is over the dot. That is the off position.

It means the Iron is heating up to its desired degree. As soon as it hits its temperature it will stop blinking. Good Luck

I don't think the machine is defective. I'm assuming that that illumination light that the manual refers to is simply the red light that comes on above the area where it says..."keep warm". That's the only light that I have that illuminates on the outside of the machine. There is also a light that comes on inside the machine when I lift the lid. It would be nice though and easier to see if the actual digital screen was backlit.

I don't think its a light so much as it is an indicator. Just it starts out green wen as it wears out it becomes red. That's my experience anyway.

I can't tell you... It may be a defect because mine seems to be as hot at the top as it does on the bottom... You should try to contact the manufacturer about that problem. If its an electrical issue, you don't want it to turn bad.

The light is there. On the top where the Black and Decker label is, it is in the lower left corner. You might not notice it if it is not plugged in and charging. It turns green from red when fully charged.

I have the same question. Looks like the lights are gone with out notice. In fact I thought it's not working since there to light, but looks OK afterwards. What is disturbing is that as an owner of old model I was not aware of the missing lights...

Sounds like a loose wire. I did have another brand of led side marker light that did that. After I tried everything I reversed polarity and it worked. Just a though if you haven't found the cause.

If you haven't noticed, it has the text in two directions. The test light should be on the bottom right corner, but there could be applications where you would need to reverse the direction (i.e., ceiling mounted).

Driver's side (left) on 99 RX300. I did not change both sides. Just the left side. We'll see how it goes.

The display shows the current temperature, and is BLUE if the temp is a couple of degrees lower than the thermostat setting and RED if the water is too hot. NO specific light for the heating element cycling on/off. Not a big problem to me; the Heater is pretty nice and I'm glad I got it. VERY stable temperature maintenance.

I would check two things, one ensure the solder iron is fully plugged in, and two that the tip is secure in the end of the solder iron. Other than that check if it is set to F or C, after that, ask for a replacement....
