Soldering And Desoldering; Care And Maintenance - Weller WXP 65 Translation Of The Original Instructions

For your safety

Soldering and desoldering

Caution!
Please be sure to read and follow the operating
instructions for your Weller WX Supply Unit.
Warning!
Wear appropriate protective clothing to protect
yourself against burns. Protect your eyes by wea-
ring eye protectors.
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.

Care and maintenance

Warning!
Before doing any work on the machine,
pull the plug out of the socket.
Warning! Risk of burns
Only replace solder tips when cold
„
Replace and clean suction nozzles
„
only when hot and using the suitable
tool
Only replace hot air nozzles using the
„
suitable tool
Only clean or replace solder
„
collection tubes when cold
Soldering iron: The soldering tool must be left
switched off in the safety rest for at least 3 minutes
until the soldering tip has cooled down. The LED
status indicator must be at „OFF".
Desoldering iron: Replace the suction nozzles
when warm using the PDN desoldering nozzle
pliers. For safety reasons, we recommend that the
desoldering iron be cleaned only when cool.
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.
Keep the heat transfer surfaces of the soldering tip
and heating element clean. The heating element
must not come into contact with soldering tin.
Filter change WXDP 120 (Robust), WXDV 120
To ensure that the filtration system functions pro-
perly, the filter must be replaced as follows:
at least once a year or
„
when indicated or
„
as per maintenance schedule
„
Contaminated filters must be treated as special
waste.
Dispose of replaced equipment parts, filters
or old devices in accordance with the rules
and regulations applicable in your country.
Wear suitable protective gear.
Warning!
Use original replacement parts only.
