Safety information
This appliance can be used by children aged from 16 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without super-vision. Keep other persons well
away from your workplace. The work area is out of bounds for children and
unauthorized persons. Never allow other persons to touch the soldering tool or
cable.
WARNING: Electrical shock
Protect yourself against electric shocks. The handles on soldering tools with
an antistatic design are conductive.
- Avoid touching earthed objects such as pipes, heaters, cookers and refrigerators.
- Do not use the soldering tool in a damp or wet environment.
- Never work on voltage-carrying parts.
WARNING: Risk of burns
The soldering tip becomes very hot during soldering work. There is a risk of
burns from touching the tips. After the soldering process, the soldering tool
and the workpiece holder are still hot.
- Always place the soldering tool in the safety rest while not in use. Make sure the safety holder is stable.
- Do not touch the hot soldering tips and keep them away from inflammable objects..
- Only replace solder tips when cold
Risk of burning through liquid solder. Protect yourself against solder splashes.
- Wear appropriate protective clothing to protect yourself against burns. Protect your eyes by wearing eye protectors.
- When working with adhesives, special attention must be paid to the warning information provided by the adhesive manufacturer.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Covering the soldering iron or the safety holder poses a fire hazard. Always
keep objects well away from the soldering iron and safety holder.
- Always keep objects well away from the soldering iron and safety holder.
- Keep all combustible objects, liquids or gases well away from the hot soldering tool.
Store your soldering tool in a safe place. When not in use, units and tools
should be stored in a dry, high or locked area out of the reach of children.
Make sure that unused soldering tools are free of voltage and de-pressurized.
Do not use the cable for purposes other than those for which it is intended.
Never carry the unit by the cable. Do not use the cable to pull the plug out
of the socket. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges.
Be alert. Pay attention to what you are doing. Be smart when using the unit.
Do not use the soldering tool if you are having difficulty concentrating.
Avoid abnormal posture. Arrange your work station in an ergonomically correct
way. Avoid bad posture when using the unit, as this can lead to postural
problems. The soldering tool must be operated only in perfect technical
working order. Safety devices must not be deactivated. Faults and defects must
be repaired immediately. Before using the unit / tool, safety devices must be
carefully checked to make sure that they are functioning properly and in the
manner intended. Check that moving parts are functioning properly and are not
sticking, and whether parts are damaged. All parts must be correctly fitted
and must satisfy all the requirements necessary to guarantee trouble free
operation of the unit. Use the correct tool. Use only accessories or auxiliary
de-vices which are included in the list of accessories or approved for use by
the manufacturer. Use WELLER accessories or auxiliary devices on original
WELLER equipment only. The use of other tools and other accessories can cause
injury. Secure the tool. Use clamping fixtures to hold the workpiece. Use a
solder fume extraction unit. If appliances for connecting solder fume
extraction units are available, ensure that they are connected and used
properly.
Soldering
Please be sure to read and follow the operating instructions for your Weller Supply Unit.
- Use only original Weller soldering tips!
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 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.
Specified Conditions Of Use
Use the soldering iron exclusively for the purpose indicated in the Operating
Instructions of soldering and desoldering under the conditions specified here.
The soldering iron may only used in combination with Weller Supply Units. This
device may only be used at room temperature and indoors. Protect against

Care and maintenance
WARNING
Before doing any work on the machine, pull the plug out of the socket. Leave
the unit to cool down.
Check all connected cables and hoses on a regular basis.. If power tools are
damaged, they must be immediately removed from use. Only replace the soldering
tips when they are cold. 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“. Keep the heat transfer surfaces of
the soldering tip and heating element clean. The heating element must not come
into contact with soldering tin.
- Repairs must always be referred to a Weller-trained specialist. Use original replacement parts only.

Claims by the buyer for physical defects are time-barred after a period of one
year from delivery to the buyer. This does not apply to claims by the buyer
for indemnification in accordance with §§ 478, 479 BGB (German Federal Law
