Equipotential Bonding - Weller WSM 1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

all the requirements necessary to guarantee troublefree
operation of the unit.
Use the correct tool. Use only accessories or auxiliary de-
vices which are included in the list of accessories or appro-
ved 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.
Use only original Weller soldering
tips!
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.

Information on the battery and power supply
Your device is supplied with power by a switching power sup-
ply 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 dama-
ged 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 per-
formance 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
