WARNING Fire hazard
Covering the soldering iron or the safety holder poses
a fire hazard. Always keep objects well away from the
soldering iron and safety holder.
Always keep objects well away from the soldering iron
•
and safety holder.
Keep all combustible objects, liquids or gases well away
•
from the hot soldering tool.
Store your soldering tool in a safe place. When not in
use, units and tools should be stored in a dry, high or locked
area out of the reach of children. Make sure that unused
soldering tools are free of voltage and de-pressurised.
The power cable must only be plugged into the power
socket or adapter approved for this purpose. Check to
see if the mains voltage matches the ratings on the
nameplate. Make sure the machine is switched off before
plugging in.
Do not use the cable for purposes other than those for
which it is intended.Never carry the unit by the cable. Do
not use the cable to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect
the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges..
Be alert. Pay attention to what you are doing. Be smart
when using the unit. Do not use the soldering tool if you are
having difficulty concentrating.
Avoid abnormal posture. Arrange your work station in an
ergonomically correct way. Avoid bad posture when using
the unit, as this can lead to postural problems.
The soldering tool must be operated only in perfect
technical working order. Safety devices must not be
deactivated.
Faults and defects must be repaired immediately.
Before using the unit / tool, safety devices must be carefully
checked to make sure that they are functioning properly and
in the manner intended. Check that moving parts are func-
tioning properly and are not sticking, and whether parts are
damaged. All parts must be correctly fitted and must satisfy
all the requirements necessary to guarantee troublefree
operation of the unit.
Use the correct tool. Use only accessories or auxiliary
devices which are included in the list of accessories or
approved for use by the manufacturer. Use WELLER acces-
sories or auxiliary devices on original WELLER equipment
only. The use of other tools and other accessories can
cause injury.
Secure the tool. Use clamping fixtures to hold the
workpiece.
Use a solder fume extraction unit. If appliances for
connecting solder fume extraction units are available, ensure
that they are connected and used properly.
Soldering
Please be sure to read and follow the operating
instructions for your Weller Supply Unit.
Use only original Weller soldering
tips!
Handling the soldering tips
Coat the selective and tinnable soldering tip with solder
•
when heating it up for the first time. This removes oxide
coatings which have formed during storage and impurities
from the soldering tip.
Make sure that the soldering tip is well coated with solder
•
during breaks between soldering work and prior to storage
of the device.
Do not use aggressive fluxing agents.
•
Always make sure that the soldering tips are fitted
•
properly.
Select as low a working temperature as possible.
•
Select the largest possible soldering tip shape for the
•
application. Rule of thumb: the soldering tip should be
roughly as large as the soldering pad.
Coat the soldering tip well with solder to ensure that there
•
is efficient heat transfer between the soldering tip and the
soldering area.
Prior to extended breaks between soldering work, switch
•
off the soldering system or use the Weller function to
reduce the temperature when the soldering equipment is
not in use.
Coat the tip with solder prior to storage if you do not
•
intend to use the soldering iron for an extended period of
time.
Apply solder directly to the soldering area, not to the
•
soldering tip.
Do not apply mechanical force to the soldering tip.
