MAINTENANCE
The transition between the heating element/sensor and the tip of the soldering iron may not come in contact with dirt,
foreign particles or become damaged, since this affects the precision of the temperature control.
INSTRUCTION FOR USE
For initial heating, coat the selective tinnable tip with solder. This removes any oxidation or dirt on the tip, which may
have occurred during storage. During pauses between soldering and before storing the soldering iron, ensure that the tip
of the soldering iron is well coated. Do not use aggressive fluxing agents. Always keep the tips tinned with solder.
NOTE:
Always ensure the proper position of the soldering iron tip. When removing tip (HOLD TIP DOWN)!
These soldering irons have been adjusted for an average-size tip. Deviations can occur due to exchanging of the tip or
using other tip designs.
EXTERNAL INPUT UNIT WCB1 (OPTIONAL) AND WCB2 (OPTIONAL)
The following functions are possible when using an external input unit.
Offset:
The real temperature of the soldering iron can be changed by ±72°F/±40°C by input of a temperature offset.
Setback:
Reduces the idle temperature to 300°F (standby) after the user selected non use time (0-99 minutes).
The setback condition is indicated by means of a flashing actual-value display and terminated by pressing
a key or by cooling the tip on a wet sponge. The set required value is briefly displayed.
Lock:
Locking of the set point temperature. Settings cannot be changed after the soldering station has been
locked.
11.
Do not use the cord for purposes for which it is not designed.
Never carry the soldering tool by the cord. Don’t use the cord to pull the power plug from the socket. Protect
the cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Protect the work piece.
Use clamping devices to hold the work piece in place. This is more secure than using your hands, and leaves
both hands free to work with the soldering tool.
13. Avoid abnormal posture.
Set-up your workplace with proper ergonomics. Avoid bad posture when working. Always use the suitable
soldering tool.
14. Take care of your soldering tool.
Keep the soldering tool clean for better and safer work. Follow the maintenance instructions and the notices
concerning changing the soldering tips. Regularly inspect all connected cords and hoses. Repairs should only
be carried out by a qualified technician. Use only original Weller replacement parts.
15. Remove the power plug from socket before opening the unit.
16. Remove all maintenance tools.
Before switching on the unit, check that all maintenance tools have been removed from the unit.
17. Avoid unexpected operation.
Make sure that the power switch is turned off when inserting the plug into the socket or connecting to power.
Don’t hold a soldering tool which is connected to a power supply while touching the power switch.
18.
Pay attention.
Be careful of what you do. Work with caution. Don’t use the soldering tool if you are not concentrating on your
work.
