7 Changing WMRT soldering/desoldering
tips
Risk of burns
The tweezers become hot during soldering and desoldering.
There is a risk of burns from touching the soldering/desoldering
tips.
The tweezers must stand at least 3 min. in the safety tool
holder (WMRTH) before the soldering/desoldering tips are
cold. Soldering/desoldering tips may only be changed when
cool.
Removing old tips
1. Place the tweezers on the tool holder.
Always ensure that the hand piece (5) is properly seated.
2. Turn the station power switch to "OFF".
3. Wait 3 min. until the soldering/desoldering tips (3) are cold.
The desoldering tip cartridge (4) is inserted into the front of the hand
piece (5). The 5-pin mini-plug on the back of the tip cartridge is
polarized for correct alignment with the hand piece.
4. Grasp the molded grips and pull outward to release the tip
cartridge (4) from the hand piece.
5. Grasp the molded grips and pull the soldering/desoldering tips (3)
from the desoldering tip cartridge (4).
Installing new soldering/desoldering tips:
Risk of malfunction
The soldering/desoldering tips must be completely inserted.
Operation with a soldering/desoldering tip that is not completely
inserted can cause the tip cartridge to malfunction.
Ensure that the soldering/desoldering tips and the desoldering
tip cartridge are inserted completely against the stop in a
single motion.
Note
The top of the tip cartridge (4) is printed with L (left) and R (right) as
indicators for proper orientation. The indicators align with the L and
R indicators printed on the hand piece (5).
6. Grasp the molded grips and push the new tips on to the
soldering/desoldering tip cartridge (4).
7. Grasp the molded grips and push the desoldering tip cartridge (4)
with the new tips on to the hand piece (tweezers) (5).
8. Turn the station power switch to "On" and set the required
temperature on the control.
