English
Always place the soldering tool in the
safety rest while not in use.
Thank you for placing your trust in our company by purcha-
sing the Weller solderer WP 80. Production was based on
stringent quality requirements which guarantee the perfect
operation of the device.

1. Caution!

Please read these Operating Instructions and the attached
Safety Information carefully prior to initial operation. Failure
to observe the safety regulations results in a risk to life and
limb.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage resulting
from misuse of the machine or unauthorised alterations.
Safety Informations
● Always place the soldering iron in the original holder.
● Remove all inflammable objects from the proximity of
the hot soldering tool.
● Use suitable protective clothing. Risk of burns from
liquid solder.
● Never leave the hot soldering iron unsupervised.
● Never work on voltage-carrying parts.
2. Description
The WP 80 soldering iron is characterised by fast and preci-
se achievement of the soldering tip temperature. A particu-
larly powerful 80 W heating element guarantees excellent
dynamic behaviour. The combination of slim design and
short distance from handle to soldering tip means that uni-
versal application is possible, from extremely fine soldering
tasks to those which require high temperatures.
With an integrated grounding connector, there is the possi-
bility for a grounding of the solder bit if required. The anti-
static handle and cables mean that the soldering iron satis-
fies all requirements of the ESD safety.

3. Installation
Place the soldering iron in the safety holder. Remove all
flammable articles from around the soldering iron. Plug and
lock the connector (5) into the supply unit.

Set the required temperature on the supply unit. Wet the
soldering bit with solder once it has heated up.
4. Grounding
If required, an grounding of the soldering bit can be created
via the supply unit. The connection possibilities for
grounding are described in the instructions for the supply
unit.
5. Information for Operation
Changing soldering tips
- Hold the soldering iron with the tip slightly downwards.
- Hold soldering iron on rear grip area (6) and remove tip
holder (3) by rotating clockwise
- Remove tip holder (3) to the front
- The soldering tip (1) is now loose in the tip holder (3)
Warning: Soldering bit is HOT!
Do not place or leave the hot soldering tip / calibration tip
on the cleaning sponge or on plastic surfaces.
When using several types of soldering tips, it is recom-
mended to use the soldering tip (1) in conjunction with the
tip holder (3) as a fast change system. (see page 27)
Keep the heating element and solderin tip heat transfer
surfaces clean.
Anti-static plastics containing conducting fillers are used to
prevent static charge build-up. This also means that the
insulating properties of the plastic are reduced.
The instructions for the use of the supply unit are valid in
addition to these here.
In the case of soldering work with very low heat requirement,
the reliability of the Setback function may be impaired.
