Caution; Commissioning - Weller WFE P Mode D'emploi

Thank you for placing your trust in our company by pur the
Weller WFE P. Production was based on stringent quality
requirements which guarantee the perfect operation of the
device.

1. Caution!

Please read these operating instructions and the attached
safety information carefully prior to initial operation. Failure to
observe the safety regulations results in a risk to life and
limb.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage resulting
from misuse of the machine or unauthorised alterations.
The Weller WFE P corresponds to the EC Declaration of
Conformity in accordance with the basic safety requirements
of Directives 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC.
2. Description
The Weller WFE P is a solder fume extractor designed for one
or two Weller FE soldering guns. Thanks to a maintenance-
free pump drive and low noise operation, the equipment is
ideal for continuous-duty industrial applications in the work-
place.
Please note that the pump is not maintenance free and
unsuitable for 24 hour continuous duty.
The vacuum hoses of the FE soldering bits are connected
directly to the WFE P soldering fume extraction unit. A built-
in thermal cut-out protects the unit against overload. A built-
in lifting device for changing the filters allows trouble-free
replacement of the filter cartridge and preliminary filters wit-
hout the aid of tools.
The 3-stage filter installed, comprising fine particulate air fil-
ter F7, Class E12 particulate filter and wide band gas filter
(50% activated carbon; 50% Puratex) is ideally suited in this
configuration to the extraction of soldering fumes. The parti-
culate filter and the gas filter are contained in the main filter

Warning:
When using extraction equipment, the legal limits with
regard to contaminants in the workplace must be obser-
ved and regularly checked by the operator of the extrac-
tion equipment.

3. Commissioning

Place the FE soldering bit in the safety rest. The WFE P solde-
ring 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 nipp-
le. 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.
