First with this step it is really important to be very careful because the Soldering gun is extremely hot and will burn you very badly! Before wiring the motor plug in the soldering gun and let it heat up (it takes about 5 Minutes to heat up) while you are waiting you can put the orange wheel on the motor. Then once the soldering gun is heated up you can start soldering the wires to the motor.
