Read these instructions and the safety guidelines carefully before starting up the unit and starting work.

Failure to observe the safety regulations results in a risk to life and limb.

Keep these instructions in a place that is accessible to all users. Please adhere to the operating instructions of the connected devices.

Specified Conditions Of Use

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

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.

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, it 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.
- Only connect the vacuum and hot air at the designated points.
- Do not direct hot air soldering tools at people or inflammable objects.

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 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.

Starting up the device

Caution!

Please adhere to the operating instructions of the connected devices.

Make sure the machine is switched off before plugging in.

After switching on the device, the microprocessor carries out a self-test and reads out the values of the parameters stored in the tool.

Check to see if the mains voltage matches the ratings on the nameplate.

The set-point temperature and fixed temperatures are stored in the tool. The actual temperature value increases to the set-point temperature (= soldering tool is heated up).

Desoldering

Carry out soldering work as directed in the operating instructions of your connected soldering tool.

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.
• Change the soldering tips using the designated tool.
• Do not apply mechanical force to the soldering tip.

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.

User groups

Due to differing degrees of risk and potential hazards, several work steps may only be performed by trained experts.

Care and maintenance

WARNING

Before doing any work on the machine, pull the plug out of the socket. Leave the unit to cool down.

Clean the operator panel, if dirty, using a suitable cleaning cloth.

Seal ports which are not in use with covering caps.

Check all connected cables and hoses on a regular basis. If power tools are damaged, they must be immediately removed from use.

Filter change

Regularly check the main filter for vacuum, and replace it if necessary.

Contaminated filters must be treated as special waste. Dispose of replaced equipment parts, filters or old devices in accordance with the rules and regulations applicable in your country. Wear suitable protective gear.

Warning

Working without a filter can result in irreparable damage to the vacuum unit.

- Check before starting soldering whether a main filter is inserted.

Repairs must always be referred to a Weller-trained specialist.

Use original replacement parts only.
