Weller WFE Translation Of The Original Instructions page 17

Read these instructions and the
accompanying safety information
carefully before starting up the
device and starting work with the device.
Keep these instructions in a place that is accessible to all
users.
Safety informatione
WARNING!
Even when using an extraction system, the statutory
pollutant limits at the workplace must be complied with and
regularly checked by the operator of the extraction system
Specified Conditions Of Useg
The Weller solder fume extraction system is equipped
with a maintenance-free compressed air converter for
vacuum generation and is, therefore, ideally suited
for continuous industrial operation. The compressed
air converter is designed sufficiently to extract the
soldering fumes from 2 Weller Fumex-Extraction
soldering irons.
FT12 - The solder fume extraction (FT12) is not suitable
for extracting flammable gas.
This filtration system is suitable for the extraction and
filtration of particles and gases, depending on the filter
medium used.
The unit is designed for extracting fumes directly from
the soldering gun and is not suitable for use as a surface
extraction unit.
This device may only be used at room temperature and
indoors.
WARNING! Danger of asphyxiation , Danger of
poisoning
Improper use may result in respiratory problems, asphy-
xiation, poisoning or cancer
Particles and gases which are unsuitable for the filter
medium in use may not be extracted.
Liquids and flammable gases may not be extracted
WARNING! Fire and explosion hazard!
The unit is not permitted to be used for the extraction of
inflammable gases.
The unit must not be exposed to temperatures above 50°C,
naked flame or condensed solvents.
The organisation operating the unit is responsible for the
observance of the legal limits for noxious substances at the
place of work.
The filtration system may only be put into operation if it is in
perfect working order.
Intended use of the soldering station/ desoldering station
also includes the requirement that you
- adhere to these instructions,
- observe all other accompanying documents,
- observe all other accompanying documents,
- comply with national accident prevention guidelines appli-
cable at the place of use.
The manufacturer will not be liable for unauthorized
modifications to the device.
Operation
WFE
The vacuum hoses of the FE soldering irons are con-
nected directly to the solder fume extraction WFE.
Cleaned, dry compressed air (3.5 bar - 6 bar) is
required to operate the WFE. It is possible to switch off
the compressed air by means of a shut-off valve at the
compressed air connection of the unit.
Shut-off valve possible at the compressed air connec-
tion of the device.
A built-in lift for filter replacement allows the filter cart-
ridge and pre-filter to be replaced easily without tools.
The installed 3-stage filter – fine dust filter F7, par-
ticle filter class E12 and broadband gas filter (50%
activated carbon, 50% Puratex) – is matched to the
extraction of soldering fumes in this combination. Par-
ticle filter and gas filter are included in the main filter
cartridge. Both filter elements are disposable filters,
whereby the fine dust filter (pre-filter) can be replaced
several times before the main filter cartridge has to be
renewed.
Together with the exhaust air filter (activated carbon),
which absorbs odours caused by compressed air, the
WFE is used as a recirculation unit. It is not necessary
to discharge the exhaust air.
FT12
To remove the compressed air hose, press the release
ring of the quick coupling and pull out the hose.
The installed 3-stage filter – fine dust filter, F7 particle
filter and broadband gas filter (50% activated carbon,
50% Puratex) – is matched in this combination to the
extraction of soldering fumes. Particle filter and gas
filter are included in the main filter cartridge. Both filter
elements are disposable filters, whereby the fine dust
filter (pre-filter) can be replaced several times. The
main filter cartridge must be replaced after max. 12
months.
Together with the exhaust air filter (activated carbon),
which absorbs odours caused by compressed air, the
FT12 is used as a recirculation unit. It is not necessary
to discharge the exhaust air.
WARNUNG
Even when using an extraction system, the statutory
pollutant limits at the workplace must be complied with and
regularly checked by the operator of the extraction system.
