3. Commissioning
Place the FE soldering bit in the safety rest. The WFE P soldering fume extraction unit
is equipped for the connection of 2 Weller FE soldering bits (5). On connection of an FE
soldering bit, the vacuum hose is attached to the open connector nipple. The second
connector remains closed. Only take off the closure cap on connection of a second
vacuum hose.
Before commissioning, check the mains voltage against the information on the type
plate. If the mains voltage is correct, connect the WFE P to the mains (7) and switch
on 2-setting mains switch (8):
1st setting: 1 FE soldering iron
2nd setting: 2 FE soldering irons
Maintenance
Before maintenance work is undertaken, the unit must be disconnected from the mains
by pulling out the mains plug.
In order to guarantee trouble-free operation of the unit, the vacuum tube and extraction
hose of the FE soldering bit must be cleaned regularly. If heavily soiled, the extraction
tube can be placed in a gas-tight sealed container in cleaning alcohol (spirit) until the
flux residues have dissolved.
Warning: When using cleaning agents, the legal safety provisions with regard to
their handling must be observed. The cleaning agent must be treated as hazardous
waste.
If the extraction performance of a cleaned FE soldering bit is no longer adequate, the
filters must be checked. The preliminary filter can be changed several times before the
main filter has to be replaced.
When original WELLER filters are used in the prescribed manner, the service lives of
the particulate filter and the wide band gas filter are designed to be approximately
equal.
To change the filters, the two release buttons (3) for the lifting device must be pressed
simultaneously. The built-in lifting device lifts up the pump casing (2) and exposes the
main filter cartridge (6). Following this, the main filter cartridge and the preliminary
filter below it can be replaced without the use of tools (see also exploded-view drawing).
Before the new main filter cartridge is fitted it should be marked with the date of
installation. The unit should be installed in reverse sequence.
Warning:When inserting filters, take care to follow the correct sequence and fit
them in the appropriate position. The soiled filters must be treated as hazardous
waste.
4. Operating information
The pump casing (2) simultaneously acts as a heat sink and consequently heats up.
Excessive heating is prevented by a built-in thermal cut-out.
The WFE P soldering fume extraction unit is not suitable for the extraction of flammable
gases.
