  • 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 protection.
  • 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.
  • 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 depressurised.
• The power cable must only be plugged into the power 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.
• 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 devices 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.

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.

Equipotential bonding

Four variants are possible by connecting the 3.5 mm jack socket differently:

with plug, equaliser at centre contact.

Information on the battery and power supply

• Your device is supplied with power by a switching power supply or battery. The battery can be charged and discharged several hundreds of times but will wear out over time. If the battery life is significantly shorter than normal, replace the battery. Only use batteries which have been approved by Weller and only charge batteries using chargers which have been approved by Weller specifically for this purpose.
• If service is required, only send the entire device instead of removing the battery and sending it separately. The tool should be switched off and the soldering tip removed, as special hazardous goods regulations must be complied with otherwise.
• The battery should be fully charged in advance before the station is operated in cordless mode for the first time or if the battery will not be used for an extended period. If a fully charged battery is not used, it will discharge over time. Use the battery for the intended purpose only. Do not use damaged chargers or batteries. Do not short-circuit the battery.
• Short-circuiting the poles may damage the battery or the connected item.
• Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and service life of the battery. This is why you should always try to store the battery at temperatures between 15 °C and 25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A device with a cold or warm battery may not function temporarily, even if the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited at temperatures significantly lower than freezing point.
• Do not throw batteries into fire as there is a risk of explosion.
• Batteries may also explode if they are damaged. Batteries must be disposed of according to regulations so that they can be recycled. Consumers are required by law to take rechargeable and regular batteries to a suitable collection site. Do not dispose of them with household waste. Do not attempt to open or destroy batteries. If fluid leaks from a battery, make sure that this fluid does not come into contact with your skin or eyes. If it does, clean your skin or eyes with water immediately or seek medical attention.
• The switching power supply used by Weller has a wide input range and can therefore be connected to the mains voltage range specified in the technical data.
• The switching power supply must only be used in dry rooms.
• Heat is generated during operation.

WARNING Fire hazard
For transport, the RT soldering tip should be removed and the isolating switch should be set to „0“ (rechargeable battery version) to prevent the tool from being switched on inadvertently.

Specified Conditions Of Use

• Supply unit for WELLER soldering tools. Use the soldering station only for the purpose of soldering, as specified in the Operating Instructions.
• Use the soldering iron exclusively for the purpose indicated in the Operating Instructions of soldering and desoldering under the conditions specified here.
