Thank you for placing your trust in our company by
purchasing the Weller WP80 Soldering Pencil. The
ergonomic anti-static design, grounded soldering tip,
unique thermal transfer system, and selectable barrel
length provide the superior performance, versatility, and
quality standards established by Weller.

The WP80 Soldering Iron is characterized by fast heat
up and precise control of the soldering tip temperature.
A particularly powerful 80 W heating element assures
excellent dynamic performance. The combination of
slim design and short distance from handle to soldering
tip means that universal applications are possible, from
extremely fine soldering tasks to much heavier tasks
requiring high temperatures and high thermal capacity.
Tip grounding is designed into the soldering iron. With
an ESD safe, anti-static handle and cordset, the WP80
satisfies all EOS and ESD requirements.

Place the soldering iron in the tool holder. Remove all
combustible objects away from the soldering iron and
the work area. Insert the connector (5) into the power
supply receptacle and lock it by turning clockwise. Turn
the station power switch “On” and set the required
temperature on the control. Once the tool has reached
the desired temperature, tin the soldering tip with sol-
der.

- Hold soldering iron horizontally
- Grasp soldering iron on rear grip area (6) and loosen
the tip retainer (3) by rotating clockwise
- Carefully remove tip retainer (3) and tip from the front
of the tool
- The soldering tip (1) is now loose in the tip retainer (3)
and can be deposited onto the base of the metal Tool
Stand
- The tip retainer should be used to store the tip on the
back of the Tool Stand until cool.

Waarrnniinngg:: SSoollddeerriinngg TTiipp iiss HHOOTT!!
Do not place or leave the hot soldering tip on the clean-
ing sponge or on plastic surfaces.
When using several types of soldering tips, it is recom-
mended to use the soldering tip (1) in conjunction with
the tip retainer (3) as a fast change system.
Keep the heating element and soldering tip heat trans-
fer surfaces clean.
Anti-static plastics containing conductive fillers are
used to prevent static charge build-up. This also means
that the insulating properties of the plastics are
reduced.
In addition to the informaton included in this manual,
please see the safety manual and the instructions for
the applicable power unit.
