Caution; Description; Technical Data; Commissioning - Weller WFE-P Mode D'emploi

English
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 89/336/EEC and 73/23EEC.

2. Description

The Weller WFE P is a fume extraction device for one or two
Weller FE soldering irons. The unit is best suited to continu-
ous industrial operation in the workplace due to its mainten-
ance-free pump drive and low noise generation. 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 without the aid of tools.
The 3-stage filter installed, comprising fine particulate air fil-
ter F7, Class H13 particulate filter and wide band gas filter
(50% activated carbon; 50% Purafil) 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
cartridge. Both filter elements are disposable filters and the
fine particulate air filter (preliminary filter) can be changed
several times before the main filter cartridge has to be repla-
ced.

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 sol-
dering fume extraction unit is equipped for the connection of
2 Weller FE soldering bits (5). On connection of an FE solde-
ring 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).
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.
