Thank you for placing your trust in our company by purcha-
sing this Weller soldering tool. Production was based on
stringent quality requirements which guarantee the perfect
operation of the device over a long period.
1. Description SP 15, SP 25, SP 40 and
SP 80
We have produced the Weller SP soldering iron for the ambi-
tious DIY electronic technician. Just the right soldering tool
for professional soldering work. Robust, economic and mul-
tifunctional use for soldering tasks. These soldering irons are
perfectly suited to electric and electronic repair work. The
soldering irons in the SP series are connected to the
mains/line voltage and are characterised by a solid heating
element structure and have a wide range of soldering tips.
With their various power groups 15, 25, 40 and 80 Watts,
they can perform a wide range of soldering tasks. The solde-
ring tips are provided with an electro-plated protective layer,
which considerably increases the lifetime of the soldering tip.
It must never be destroyed through mechanical adaptation
(e.g. filing, scratching).

2. Commissioning

Bend open the soldering iron support as shown in the ben-
ding instructions. Place the soldering iron in the soldering
iron support. Ensure that there are no combustible materials
near the soldering iron. Check that the mains voltage is com-
patible with the connected load of the soldering iron. Insert
the mains connector of the soldering iron in the mains sok-
ket-outlet. The lighting in the grip indicates operation of the
soldering iron. When the required heating-up time has pas-
sed, coat the soldering tip with a small amount of solder. Now
the soldering work can begin.

3. Operating guidelines

The soldering tips are provided with an electro-plated
protective layer. The protective layer considerably leng-
thens the lifetime of the soldering tip and must never be
destroyed through mechanical adaptation (e.g. filing,
scratching).
Prevent the soldering tip from becoming seized. A thin
graphite layer applied to the thin end of the soldering tip,
plus frequent withdrawal of the soldering tip, prevents
unpleasant seizure.
The soldering tip should be cleaned with a sponge
soaked in water.
Always place the soldering iron in the original support.
During soldering breaks, always ensure that the solde-
ring tip is well tin-coated.
Before starting soldering, all metallic parts must be well
cleaned.
Always use the correct soldering tin. For normal electri-
cal connections, use a solder with as low an acid content
as possible together with a mild fluxing agent.
When working with the soldering tip, ensure that as large
an area as possible is used for transfer of heat onto the
workpiece.
Please read these Operating Instructions and the attached
Protection safety information carefully prior to initial operation of the
class soldering iron. Failure to observe the safety regulations
15 W I results in a risk to life and limb.
25 W I
40 W I The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage resulting
80 W I from misuse of the machine or unauthorised alterations.
The Weller SP soldering iron series corresponds to the EC
Declaration of Conformity in accordance with the basic safe-
ty requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23EEC.
