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 unauthorised persons. Never allow other persons to
touch the soldering tool or cable.
WARNING: Electrical shock
Connecting the control unit incorrectly poses a risk of injury due to electric shock and can damage the device.
- Carefully read the attached safety information, the safety information accompanying these operating instructions as well as the operating instructions for your control unit before putting the control unit into operation and observe the safety precautions specified therein.
- Only connect WELLER tools.
If the device is faulty, active electrical conductors may be bare or the PE conductor may not be functional.
- Repairs must always be referred to a Weller-trained specialist.
- If the electrical tool‘s power supply cord is damaged, this must be replaced with a specially prefabricated power supply cord available through the customer service organisation.
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
Risk of burns from the soldering tool while the control unit is operating. Tools may still be hot long after they have been switched off.
- Always place the soldering tool in the safety rest while not in use. Make sure the safety holder is stable.
- Only connect the vacuum and hot air at the designated points.
- Do not direct hot air soldering tools at people or 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.
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-pressurised.
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.
The mains cable must only be plugged into the mains socket or adapter approved
for this purpose. Check to see if the mains voltage matches the ratings on the
nameplate. Make sure the machine is switched off before plugging in.
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.
