2.2 Information on the battery and switching power
supply
The device is supplied by a switching power supply or bat-
tery. The battery can be discharged and recharged several
hundred times but will inevitably wear down over time. If
charging intervals become shorter than normal, replace the
battery.
Always use batteries and chargers approved by Weller that
are designed for this purpose. Charge the battery complete-
ly before operating the station in cordless mode for the first
time or if you do not intend to use the battery for long peri-
ods. A fully charged battery will discharge over time. Always
use the battery for the designated purpose. Never use a
damaged charger or battery.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Short-circuiting the poles
may damage the battery or the connected devices. Extreme
temperatures reduce the capacity and service life of the
battery. Therefore always try and store the battery at tem-
peratures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Under
certain circumstances, a device with a cold or warm battery
may not function temporarily, even if the battery is fully
charged. The performance of the batteries is restricted at
temperatures significantly lower than freezing point.
Do not throw batteries into fire: risk of explosion! Batteries
can also explode when damaged. Always dispose of batter-
ies according to regulations. Deposit at a recycling centre if
possible. Do not dispose of with the household waste. Do
not attempt to open or destroy batteries. If fluid begins to
escape from a battery, make sure that it does not come
into contact with your skin or eyes. If contact is unavoid-
able, rinse the affected area immediately with water or
seek immediate medical attention.
The power packs Weller uses have a wide input range and
are therefore suitable for connection to the mains
voltage range specified in the technical data.
The power pack must only be used in dry environments.
The device generates heat during operation.
On transport, esp. flight travel, the RT-tip (16) must be
removed and the disconnecting switch (6) set on "
0 ".
