6 Extracting soldering smoke

Toxic gases
The vacuum of the WFE 2ES is insufficient for direct extraction.
Toxic gases are created when soldering, which can be harmful to
health if not filtered.
Only use the WFE 2ES for surface soldering smoke extraction.
Soldering or welding enamel-covered wires
When soldering or welding enamel-covered wires, use the standard
filter mat M5 and a class F7 fine dust filter.
Extraction of adhesive vapours
When extracting adhesive vapours, use a wide band gas filter
(without HEPA filter).
Extraction during soldering and welding
1. Check filter for suitability and utilisability.
2. Connect extraction hose to vacuum connection (3) of the
WFE 2ES.
3. Position and secure extraction hose.
4. Switch on WFE 2ES and start extraction.
Auto-ignition of the activated carbon
A high concentration of noxious gas can result in considerable
heating of the activated carbon, which can lead to auto-ignition of
the filter.
Before switching off, run the unit for several minutes with air
free of noxious gas.
5. When the soldering/adhesion process is complete,
run the unit for 5 minutes free of noxious gas.
6. Shut down unit
