WELLER WTMT (01) PDF DOCUMENT

To protect yourself against electric shocks with the WELLER WTMT, note that 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.

The soldering tip of the WELLER WTMT becomes very hot during soldering work, creating a risk of burns from touching the tips. After the soldering process, the tool and workpiece holder are still hot.

Always place the soldering tool in the safety rest while not in use. Ensure the safety holder is stable.

Do not touch the hot soldering tips and keep them away from inflammable objects.

Only replace solder tips when they are cold.

Only replace nozzles when they are cold.

There is a risk of burning from liquid solder. Protect yourself against solder splashes by wearing appropriate protective clothing and eye protection.

When working with adhesives, pay special attention to the warning information provided by the adhesive manufacturer.

Only connect the vacuum and hot air at the designated points.

Covering the soldering iron or the safety holder of the WELLER WTMT 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.

Do not place or leave the hot soldering or desoldering tip on the worktop or on plastic surfaces.

Avoid unintentional operation. Disconnect the soldering tool from the power supply when not in use.

Keep explosive and flammable objects well away from the device.

When not in use, the WELLER WTMT unit 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.

Use the WELLER WTMT soldering iron exclusively for the purpose indicated in the Operating Instructions, which is soldering and desoldering under the specified conditions. The soldering iron may only be used in combination with Weller Supply Units. This device may only be used at room temperature and indoors. Protect it against moisture and direct sunlight.

Due to differing degrees of risk and potential hazards, several work steps with the WELLER WTMT may only be performed by trained experts as outlined in the table below.

For the WELLER WTMT:

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

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

Do not use blocked nozzles.

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

Use only original replacement parts.

The soldering tool must be left switched off in the safety rest for at least 3 minutes until the soldering tip has cooled down.

WARNING: Only replace the soldering tips when they are cold.

The WELLER WTMT soldering tool has an internal usage sensor. This sensor can be used to set an automatic switch-off function (Stand-by). The settings for this feature can be found in the station’s operating instructions.

The required equipotential bonding to the soldering tip of the WELLER WTMT can be established via the supply unit being used. The connection options for an equipotential bonding cable are described in the operating instructions for the supply unit.

The technical data for the WELLER WTMT desoldering iron is as follows:

Use only original Weller soldering tips.

The WELLER WTMT 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 use, check that all parts are functioning properly and are not damaged or sticking.

Use the correct tool. Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer.

Secure the workpiece with clamping fixtures.

If available, use a solder fume extraction unit and ensure it is connected and used properly.

Do not use the cable for purposes other than intended. Never carry the unit by the cable or use it to pull the plug from the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

Be alert and pay attention to what you are doing. Do not use the soldering tool if you have difficulty concentrating.

Arrange your workstation in an ergonomically correct way to avoid bad posture, which can lead to postural problems.
