2.1 Please observe the following guidelines:
General − Always deposit the WXDP 120 desoldering iron in the safety rest.
information
− Remove all flammable objects from the vicinity of the hot
desoldering tool.
− Always wear suitable protective clothing when using the
WXDP 120.
− Never leave a hot WXDP 120 unattended.
− Do not work on electrically live parts.
− Antistatic plastics are provided with conductive fillers to prevent
the build-up of static charge. This also reduces the insulating
properties of the plastic.
Do not work on electrically live parts.
− Always wear eye protection when working with desoldering
applications.
− Please be sure to read and follow the operating instructions for
your Weller Supply Unit.
Handling − Do not deposit or leave the hot suction nozzle on the worktop or

− When heating up the soldering iron for the first time, wet the tin-
tips
plated suction nozzles with solder in order to remove storage-
related oxide film or impurities from the suction nozzles.
− Make sure that the suction nozzles are thoroughly wetted during
intervals between desoldering work and prior to storage of the
device.
− Do not use aggressive fluxing agents.
− Always make sure that the suction nozzles are seated correctly.
− Select the lowest possible working temperature.
− Select the largest possible suction nozzle shape for the
application. It should be about the same size as the soldering
pad.
− Wet the suction nozzle thoroughly to ensure efficient heat
transfer between the suction nozzle and the desoldering point.
− Turn off the system if you do not intend using the desoldering
tool for an extended period of time.
− Wet the suction nozzle before placing the desoldering tool in the
safety rest.
− Apply the solder directly to the joint, not the suction nozzle.
− Do not use excessive force on the suction nozzle.
Always make sure that the desoldering iron is seated properly in
the safety rest.
