Why did the resin brush of the FT-710 melt?

Please kindly confirm the factors of being melted the resin brush can be considered as below.

In either case, the resin brush would melt. In that case, please replace it with the new one.

Factor 1.
The FT-710 is used as the iron holder instead of the actual iron holder.

The FT-710 is the tip cleaner. Please do not use it as an iron holder.

For more details, please refer to "FT-710 : Combinations of the FT-710 and iron holders".

Factor 2.
You aligned the position of the tip when it was still high temperature.

If you align the tip when the tip temperature is high, the resin brush will melt in a moment.
Please do not align the tip, when the iron keeps powered on or before the tip temperature is completely cool.

For more details, please refer to "FT-710 : Why can no solder be removed?".
