Informació de seguretat
Always observe the following safety precautions when using the Weller SL335 Soldering Iron:
- Seguretat elèctrica: Ensure the power outlet matches the iron's voltage. Do not use the iron with damaged cords or plugs. Always unplug the iron when not in use or before performing maintenance.
- Risc de calor: The soldering iron tip reaches temperatures up to 800°F (427°C). Avoid direct contact with the hot tip. Use a heat-resistant stand to rest the iron when not actively soldering.
- Fums: Soldering produces fumes. Work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume extractor to avoid inhaling harmful vapors.
- Prevenció d'incendis: Keep flammable materials away from the soldering area. Have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket readily available.
- Equips de protecció individual: Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from solder splashes. Consider wearing heat-resistant gloves.
- Nens i animals de companyia: Keep the soldering iron and all related materials out of reach of children and pets.

Instruccions de funcionament
- Escalfant: Once plugged in, the Weller SL335 will begin to heat up. As a non-temperature controlled iron, it will reach its maximum operating temperature of approximately 800°F (427°C) within a few minutes.
- Estanyant la punta: Before first use, or after cleaning, "tin" the tip by applying a small amount of solder to the hot tip. This helps prevent oxidation and ensures efficient heat transfer.
- Tècnica de soldadura:
- Clean the surfaces to be soldered.
- Apply the hot soldering iron tip to both the component lead and the PCB pad simultaneously to heat them.
- Once heated, apply solder to the joint, not directly to the iron tip. The solder should flow smoothly and create a shiny, concave fillet.
- Remove the solder, then remove the iron. Allow the joint to cool naturally without disturbance.
- Resting the Iron: Always place the hot soldering iron in its stand when not actively soldering.
- Apagant: Unplug the soldering iron from the power outlet when you are finished with your work. Allow the iron to cool completely before storing.
Manteniment
- Neteja de consells: Regularly wipe the hot tip on a damp sponge or brass wool cleaner to remove excess solder and oxidation. A clean tip ensures optimal performance.
- Substitució de la punta: Over time, soldering tips wear out. Replace the PL113 tip when it becomes pitted, corroded, or no longer holds solder effectively. Ensure the iron is unplugged and cool before changing tips.
- Neteja general: Keep the body of the soldering iron clean. Wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Emmagatzematge: Store the cooled soldering iron in a dry, safe place, away from dust and moisture.
Resolució de problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| La planxa no s'escalfa. | Not plugged in; faulty power outlet; internal heater failure. | Check power connection; try a different outlet; if still no heat, the unit may require service or replacement. |
| Solder not flowing properly. | Dirty or oxidized tip; insufficient heat transfer; incorrect solder type. | Clean and re-tin the tip; ensure tip is fully heated; use appropriate solder for electronics. |
| Tip appears corroded or pitted. | Normal wear and tear; improper cleaning; excessive heat. | Clean tip regularly; replace tip if severely damaged. |
