Safety information

For safety reasons, children and youths under the age of 16, as well as persons who are not familiar with these operating instructions, may not use the
device. Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the tool. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 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 supervision.
Keep other persons well away from your workplace. Children and other unauthorized persons must stay clear of the work area. 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, it must be replaced with a specially prefabricated power supply cord available through the customer service organization.

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 protection.
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-pressurized.

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.

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 troublefree 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.

Specified Conditions Of Use
Supply unit for WELLER WX soldering tools. Use the soldering station / disordering station / hot air station exclusively for the purpose indicated in the operating instructions of soldering and disordering under the conditions specified herein.

WARNING: Flammable gases and liquids may not be extracted. The device may only be used with correctly fitted and suitable filter cartridges. Replace filter cartridges when full. This device may only be used at room temperature and indoors. Protect against moisture and direct sunlight.

WXS Remote Control:
As soon as you have installed the Weller WXS app on your mobile device and have connected to the Weller WXS station, the remote control is activated via an app. You can now perform the described device functions with your mobile device by using the app.

Note : Direct operation at the WXS station by a user does not have priority over access via the app. Both options for operation have equal priority. Therefore, it must be ensured that any unintentional remote access via the app does not endanger the user or damage furnishings. Weller therefore recommends switching off the station via the ON/OFF switch before changing tools or tips, etc. In general, the soldering tools must be placed in the associated safety holder when not in use. This will ensure that the tool does not pose a hazard.
