The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage resulting from unauthorised alterations to the device.

2.2 Information on the battery and switching power supply

The device is supplied by a switching power supply or battery. The battery can be discharged and recharged several hundred times but will inevitably wear down over time. If charging intervals become shorter than normal, replace the battery.

If service is required, send in the whole appliance - do not remove the rechargeable battery and send it separately. The appliance should be switched off and the soldering tip removed, as otherwise special hazardous goods regulations apply.

Always use batteries and chargers approved by Weller that are designed for this purpose. Charge the battery completely before operating the station in cordless mode for the first time or if you do not intend to use the battery for long periods. A fully charged battery will discharge over time. Always use the battery for the designated purpose. Never use a damaged charger or battery.

Do not short-circuit the battery. Short-circuiting the poles may damage the battery or the connected devices. Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and service life of the battery. Therefore always try and store the battery at temperatures between 15^ and 25^ (59°F and 77°F). Under certain circumstances, a device with a cold or warm battery may not function temporarily, even if the battery is fully charged. The performance of the batteries is restricted at temperatures significantly lower than freezing point.

Do not throw batteries into fire: risk of explosion! Batteries can also explode when damaged. Always dispose of batteries according to regulations. Deposit at a recycling centre if possible. Consumers are required by law to take used regular and rechargeable batteries to a suitable waste collection centre.

Do not dispose of with the household waste. Do not attempt to open or destroy batteries. If fluid begins to escape from a battery, make sure that it does not come into contact with your skin or eyes. If contact is unavoidable, rinse the affected area immediately with water or seek immediate medical attention.

The power packs Weller uses have a wide input range and are therefore suitable for connection to the mains voltage range specified in the technical data.

The power pack must only be used in dry environments. The device generates heat during operation.

For shipping, the RT soldering tip (25) should be removed and the isolating switch (6) should be set to "0" (rechargeable battery version) to avoid unwanted switch-on.

Caution: fire hazard!
