Weller EC1302B - Manual (Page 2)

Weller ® EPH series tips are solid copper, plated with iron, nickel and chromium. The nickel and chromium protect the shank from corrosion and
solder creep. The tips are pre-tinned in the working area with solder. Use only Weller soldering tips. Use of non-Weller components may void product
warranty if the non-Weller component causes damage to the unit.

1. Keep tip tinned; wipe only before using.
2. Use rosin or activated rosin fluxes. Acid type fluxes will greatly reduce tip life.
3. Remove tip and clean with suitable cleaner for flux used. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the type of work and usage. Tips in
constant use should be removed and cleaned at least once a week. Corrosion between tip and sensor can cause erratic temperature
control.
WARNING:
If tip does not remove easily, do not force it. The sensor will be damaged. Try removing the tip while heated. If this does not
work, return tool to Weller for service. When installing new tips, they should slide freely over sensor probe.
4. Don’t try to clean tip with abrasive materials other than the Weller WPB1 polishing bar and never file tip; to do so will greatly reduce tip life.
Tip wettability is affected by contact with organics; such as plastic resins, silicone grease, and other chemicals. If the tip becomes
unwettable, it may be cleaned hot with a soft steel or brass brush using solder flux as a solvent or with a Weller WPB1 polishing bar. Do
not over do this or the iron plating will be removed and the tip ruined. Re-tin tip immediately to prevent oxidation.
5. Don’t remove excess solder from heated tip before storing. The excess solder will prevent oxidation of the wettable surface when tip is
reheated.
6. Do not use any compound or anti-seize material on Weller tips or sensor probe. They will cause wettability problems and may cause
seizing after long heated periods.
WARNING: This product, when used for soldering and similar applications, produces chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
