WARNING!
Risk of burns
The suction nozzles of the desoldering iron will become very hot
during desoldering.
Touching the suction nozzle can cause burns.
Z
Do not touch the hot suction nozzles and keep flammable
objects well away from them.
1 Unpack the WXDP 120 desoldering iron with care.
2. Place the desoldering iron in the WDH 70 Safety Rest.
3. Insert the connecting plug (4) into the power supply socket and
lock it by turning it clockwise.
4. Connect the vacuum hose to the connector nipple (Vac) on the
control unit.
5. Check to make sure that the mains voltage matches the voltage
specified on the rating plate of the WX supply unit.
6. Switch on the supply unit and set the required temperature
(380°C/720°F).
7. If the tool has not reached the required temperature, the status
indicator LED (6) will be lit continuously. Wet the soldering tip with
solder.
8. The suction process is started by operating the finger switch.
Note The inner diameter of the suction nozzle should roughly match the
diameter of the holes in the circuit board. Position the suction nozzle
vertically on the circuit board and only activate the vacuum when the
solder has completely melted. During the suction process move the
suction nozzle in a circular motion around the component
connection. If all the solder is not removed, tin the joint again and
repeat the desoldering process. Using additional solder will maintain
the excellent wetting characteristics of the suction nozzle and
ensure good thermal conductivity.
