Questions

What is the smallest part it can pick?

0603 with the bare needles, and 0402 once you get the feel for it. For 0805 and 0603, the 3 mm cup is the easiest place to start.

How do I charge it?

Through the USB-C port with the included USB-A to USB-C cable, from a PC, a wall adapter or a power bank. It doesn't charge from USB-C PD chargers or laptop USB-C ports.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 10 hours of continuous use. The LED shows the battery level.

Can I use it for desoldering?

No. It picks and places parts. It doesn't remove solder.
