ReWork Station: Bakon BK881 instruction manual needed.

[Gods69]

Hi,

I need the english instruction manual for the ReWork Station: Bakon BK881. I just buy one but got dutch manual.
( It's the "ToAuto DS882" model but look the same as the Bakon unit).

Thank You.

Here is the user manual (attached below). To clarify, there seem to be 2 versions of this model. The worst one is known to be "version 2" although the user manual is valid for all versions.

I received that same station yesterday, and I was lucky that it was the original "version 1" variant.
Yes, I know this kit is considered near-junk (compared to Hakko), but I got an interesting Amazn deal for it. This model is also known to use proprietary "Bakon 600" tips, so I picked a generous pack of 10 tips for it at the same time.

So far it does work, and I must say it looks beautifully smaller in person than in the pictures.    It makes you want to use it just by looking at it.
I never had a heat gun before. This is more powerful than I could possibly imagine! I almost burned my finger by touching the underside of the PCB, even after the heatgun was already powered down on its stand. 
Compared to my old trusted TS80P, this iron heats up a bit slower, and cools down much more slowly.
Both the soldering iron tip and the hotgun tip are grounded.
The on-screen user interface is OK, but I wish there was an open-source improved alternative firmware for it, to make it more intuitive with more thoughtfulness/ergonomy.

I will report here whatever I notice about this affordable station.
