English
Thank you for placing your trust in our company by purcha-
sing the temperature-controlled WELLER W-series soldering
irons. Production was based on stringent quality require-
ments which guarantee the perfect operation of the device.

1. Caution!

Please read these Operating Instructions and the attached
safety information carefully prior to initial operation. Failure
to observe the safety regulations results in a risk to life and
limb.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage resulting
from misuse of the machine or unauthorised alterations.
The temperature-controlled WELLER W-series soldering
irons corresponds to the EC Declaration of Conformity in
accordance with the basic safety requirements of Directives
89/336/EEC and 73/23EEC.

2. Description

The temperature-controlled WELLER W-series soldering
irons are suitable for a broad range of demanding soldering
applications on electrical components with extremely high
heat sensitivity and are therefore ideal for use in industrial
production and for maintenance work on electrical applian-
ces. The industrial soldering irons of the W series have a
solidly constructed heating element and a wide selection of
"Longlife" soldering tips. The various power classes 60 W,
100 W, and 200 W provide the solution to a multitude of dif-
ferent soldering tasks. Temperature is controlled according
to the WELLER Magnastat principle.
If the tip is cold, the permanent magnet is attracted by the
ferromagnetic temperature sensor. This actuates the switch.
As the sensor approaches the Curie point, it loses its ferro-
magnetic properties and can no longer hold the permanent
magnet. The magnet is released and the switch returns to its
off-position (the power supplied to the heating element is
interrupted). If the tip cools slightly, the temperature sensor
attracts the permanent magnet and power is supplied once
again. The temperature sensors (Magnastats) have an extre-
mely narrow distribution of switching temperatures and are
not subject to any wear resulting from ageing or material
fatigue.

An additional advantage of this design is that the soldering
iron is switched off when the tip is changed. The heating ele-
ment cannot therefore burn out if the soldering tip is remo-
ved.

3. Commissioning

Bend the soldering iron stand using the enclosed bending
template. Place the soldering iron in the safety stand. Ensure
that there are no combustible objects in the immediate vici-
nity of the soldering iron. Check whether the mains voltage
matches the connected load of the soldering iron. Insert the
mains plug of the soldering iron into the mains socket. When
the necessary heating-up time has elapsed, wet the solde-
ring tip with a little solder. You can then begin soldering.
Fig.: Bending instructions and bending template see
page 23 + 24.

4. Important

Do not allow the soldering tip to become seized up. Applying
a thin layer of graphite to the end of the soldering tip and fre-
quent withdrawal of the soldering tip prevents unwanted sei-
zing up. The soldering tip should be cleaned using a water-
soaked cleaning sponge. When the soldering iron is not in
use, always place the soldering iron in the original stand.
Ensure that the soldering tip is well tinned during breaks bet-
ween soldering.
Do not pick the heating element up using pliers or tap it
clean. Attaching the sleeve nut by hand (when the soldering
iron is cold) is sufficient to secure the soldering tip.
