The soldering iron may only used in combination with Weller WX
Supply Units.
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 place or leave the hot soldering or desoldering tip on the
worktop or on plastic surfaces.
Avoid unintentional operation. Disconnect the soldering tool from the
power supply while not in use.
Wear appropriate protective clothing to protect yourself against
burns. Protect your eyes by wearing 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.
„
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 tempera-
ture 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.
