or for unauthorised modifications.
2.1
General  Always place the WP 65 soldering iron in the intended safety
information rest.
 Remove all inflammable articles from around the hot soldering
iron.
 Always wear suitable protective clothing when using the
WP 65.
 Never leave a hot WP 65 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 soldering and
desoldering applications.
 Read and follow the operating instructions for the Weller supply
unit.
Handling  Do not place or leave hot soldering/desoldering tips on the
worktop or on plastic surfaces.

 Wet the tinned soldering/desoldering tips with solder once they
tips
have heated up in order to remove oxide layers that form during
storage or contamination from the soldering/desoldering tips.
 Ensure the soldering/desoldering tips are well wetted during
intervals between soldering and desoldering and prior to storage
of the device.
 Do not use aggressive fluxing agents.
 Always make sure that the soldering/desoldering tips are
properly seated.
 Select the lowest possible working temperature.
 Select the largest possible soldering/desoldering tip shape for
the application (roughly as large as the soldering pad).
 Wet the soldering/desoldering tips well to ensure efficient heat
transfer between the soldering/desoldering tips and the soldering
spot.
 Switch off the system if you do not intend to use the
soldering/desoldering tool for prolonged periods.
 Wet the tips before placing the soldering/desoldering tool in the
safety rest.
 Apply the solder directly at the soldering point, not on the
soldering/
desoldering tips.
 Do not apply excessive force to the soldering/desoldering tips.
 Always make sure that the soldering iron is placed properly in the
safety rest.
Please observe the following guidelines:
