WARNING   Fire hazard

Covering the soldering iron or the safety holder poses a fi re hazard.

˚

Always keep objects well away from the soldering iron and safety holder. 

˚

Keep all combustible objects, liquids or gases well away from the hot soldering tool.

Store your soldering tool in a safe place. When not in use, units and tools should be stored 

in a dry, high or locked area out of the reach of children. Make sure that unused soldering 

tools are free of voltage and placed in the safety rest.

The power cable must only be plugged into the power socket or adapter approved for 

this purpose. Check to see if the mains voltage matches the ratings on the nameplate. Make 

sure the machine is switched off before plugging in.

Do not use the cable for purposes other than those for which it is intended. Never carry 

the unit by the cable. Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect the cable 

against heat, oil and sharp edges.

Be alert. Pay attention to what you are doing. Be smart when using the unit. Do not use the 

soldering tool if you are having diffi culty concentrating.

Avoid abnormal posture. AArrange your work station in an ergonomically correct way. Avoid 

bad posture when using the unit, as this can lead to postural problems.

The soldering tool must be operated only in perfect technical working order. Safety 

devices must not be deactivated. 

Faults and defects must be repaired immediately. Before using the unit / tool, safety 

devices must be carefully checked to make sure that they are functioning properly and in 

the manner intended. Check that moving parts are functioning properly and are not sticking, 

and whether parts are damaged. All parts must be correctly fi tted and must satisfy all the 

requirements necessary to guarantee troublefree operation of the unit.

Use the correct tool. Use only accessories or auxiliary devices which are included in the 

list of accessories or approved for use by the manufacturer. Use WELLER accessories or 

auxiliary devices on original WELLER equipment only. The use of other tools and other 

accessories can cause injury.

Secure the workpiece. Use clamping fi xtures to hold the workpiece.

Use a solder fume extraction unit. If appliances for connecting solder fume extraction units 

are available, ensure that they are connected and used properly.

Care and maintenance

Operating Instructions

Start Up
Right after turning on the station:

The station display will turn on all the segments will light for 2 seconds. 

Then the set temperature will be shown for 2 seconds.

Then the °F or °C will be shown for one second to validate which units are being used.

Then the current actual temperature will then be shown on the display.  

If the station is unplugged from the power source, the unit will remember the last user settings 

when re-attached to power.
The default units will be °F from the factory.  

The default temperature setting will be 650°F (343°C) from the factory.

The default standby setting will be 10 minutes. Standby temperature 212°F (100°C).
The indicator dot will be on constantly when the tip is heating.

The indicator dot will blink when the iron is at temperature.

The indicator dot will not be shown when the iron is cooling.
“Stb” will be shown on a dimmed display when the unit is in standby mode.

Once the unit is awakened from standby mode, the LED will brighten, and the tip will re-heat 

to set temperature.
Using standby mode and lower iron temperatures will increase the life and accuracy over time 

of the heating element.
Pressing the right up arrow or left down arrow button at any time will adjust the set point.  

The set point can be a value from 212 to 896 °F (100 to 480 °C).

Press up or down arrow 1 second will change the temperature setting by single degree. Hold 

arrow button for 3 seconds to change temperature by 10 degrees every second held.

setting.
Calibration
The user will be able to set an offset for the displayed tip temperature reading within a range 

of ±72 °F (±40 °C) for the station. This function can be used when the tip is at a known 

temperature which does not agree with the current displayed temperature.

When the menu selection “CAL” is displayed:

The current temperature offset will be shown. This is the amount that the displayed set 

temperature will be changed from factory settings.

Pressing the up or down arrow buttons will offset the displayed temperature by that amount.
