Description
Weller FE soldering irons are designed for use with the Zero-Smog system and are equipped
with an integrated extraction tube to remove unpleasant and dangerous fumes directly
where they occur: at the solder tip. The tip temperature is not effected.
Setting up
1. Replace the enclosed funnel against the original one. Make sure that the suction tube is
in upper position and does not touch the spring holder when the iron is in rest position.
2. Adjust the extraction tube to the tip. The end of tube should be vertical above the tip
when the iron is in soldering position.
3. Store soldering iron in safety holder.
4. Plug in and latch the electrical connector on the power unit.
FE 50 M to PU S.
FE 50 and MLR 21 FE to all Temtronic power supply units
FE 75 to all power supply units with 80 W.
FE 80 to all power supply units with 80 W.
5. connect the silicone suction hose to the Zero-Smog or vaccum pipe system.
Maintenance
The extraction tube has a small bending radius to hold the tube in the shaft of the soldering
iron handle. If the extraction tube should become loose during use, it can be tightened by
bending slightly.
The extraction tube should be cleaned once daily with the special brush. In order to avoid
burns, the tube should be cleaned only after cooling. If the tube is extremely dirty, it can be
placed in a closed container of cleaning alcohol (Spirit) until the fluxing media residues and
loosened.
Warning:
When using cleaning agents, legal safety regulations regarding their use must be observed.
The cleaning agent must be treated as hazardous waste and must be disposed of according
to curent local guidelines.
In order to ensure correct function, the extraction hose should also be cleaned regularly. The
hose must first be unplugged and allowed to cool. Knead the hose between the fingers until
the condensed fluxing media residues are loosened and are emoved by the turbine.
The instructions for the use of the supply unit are valid in addition of these here.
