yeah that's the soldering station we used, i was on the team that decided togo with that brand, we made medical devices so they could afford the cost, They wanted every one to use all one brand for calibration and parts logistics, oddly they would not go with the Edsyn desoldering station and stuck with pace for that, (I nick named that older pace solder sucker the suck and clog, I spent more time cleaning it then using it) so I had to buy mine outright as did a few other engineers as the dealer gave us the same volume discount, the advantage is i got to keep the the thing when i left the company.
For soldering temp, that comes from trial and error and personal preference. Too hot can damage things but on a board with a lot of copper you need a lot of heat, just for a short time, I like about 700f for normal solder and work as fast as possible, best advice i can give is find some scrap electronic junk in the trash and start soldering to stuff, they make beginner kits as well or general drilled PC board from radio shack before they all close with a bunch or assorted resistors and start soldering, rat shack pc board needs a lower temp or the copper comes off.
When i first started out i literally used an antique gasoline fueled blow torch to melt the solder from scrap boards, knock the board upside down so all the parts fall out and then solder them into things
