Using your Milwaukee 49 - 80 - 0401 soldering iron tip is easy. First, make sure your M12 soldering iron is turned on and heated up. Once it's hot, you can start soldering small components and wires. Hold the soldering iron at a comfortable angle and touch the tip to the area you want to solder. Then, feed the solder wire onto the tip and the joint. When you're done soldering, turn off the soldering iron and let it cool down. For maintenance, keep the tip clean. After each use, wipe the tip with a damp sponge to remove any excess solder or debris. Also, make sure to store the tip in a dry place. If you notice the tip isn't heating up quickly or isn't soldering well, it might be time to replace it. And always remember, use this tip only with the Milwaukee M12 soldering iron for the best performance.
