6.3 Soldering and unsoldering
 Carry out the soldering work in accordance with the operating
instructions of your connected soldering tool.
Handling soldering tips
− During the first heating-up period, coat the selected tinnable
soldering tip with solder. This removes oxide layers and
contamination from the soldering tip caused by storage.
− During pauses between soldering and before storing the soldering
iron, ensure that the soldering tip is well-coated.
− Do not use aggressive fluxing agents.
− Always make sure that the soldering tip is seated correctly.
− Select the lowest possible working temperature.
− Select the largest possible soldering tip shape for the application:
approx. as large as the soldering pad
− Coat the soldering tip well to ensure efficient heat transfer
between the soldering tip and soldering point.
− Switch off the system if you do not intend to use the soldering iron
for longer periods or activate the Weller temperature reduction
function
− Coat the tip before placing the soldering iron in the holder.
− Apply the solder directly at the soldering point, not on the
soldering tip.
− Change the soldering tip using an appropriate tool.
− Do not subject the soldering tip to physical force.
Note The control units have been adapted to hold a medium-sized
soldering tip. Discrepancies may occur if the tip is changed or a
different shaped tip is used.
