1. Introducció
This manual provides essential instructions for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of the Weller 7135W-12200 Standard Solder Tip Replacement. This tip is specifically designed for seamless integration and optimal performance with Weller 8200 i 9200 series universal soldering guns. Adhering to these guidelines will ensure the longevity and efficiency of your soldering equipment.
2. Configuració i instal·lació
Before attempting any installation, ensure your soldering gun is completely disconnected from its power source and has cooled down to room temperature to prevent burns or electrical hazards.
2.1 Eines necessàries
- Pliers (optional, for removing stubborn old tips)
- Drap net i sense borrissol
2.2 Passos d'instal·lació
- La seguretat primer: Confirm the soldering gun is unplugged and fully cooled.
- Elimina el consell antic: Carefully locate and remove the existing solder tip from the soldering gun. Depending on your specific gun model, this may involve unscrewing or gently pulling the tip out. If the tip is stuck due to oxidation or residue, use pliers to gently twist and pull it free.
- Clean Receptacle: Use a clean cloth to wipe away any solder, flux, or oxidation residue from the tip receptacle on the soldering gun. A clean connection ensures proper heat transfer.
- Insert New Tip: Align the prongs of the new Weller 7135W-12200 replacement tip with the designated slots or receptacle on the soldering gun. Gently push the tip in until it is seated firmly and correctly.
- Verifica la connexió: Ensure the tip is securely in place and makes proper electrical contact. A loose tip can lead to poor heating or damage.

3. Instruccions de funcionament
Once the new tip is correctly installed, your soldering gun is ready for use. Always refer to your specific soldering gun's primary operating manual for detailed usage instructions.
- Encès: Connect the soldering gun to a suitable power outlet.
- Temps d'escalfament: Allow the tip to heat up to its optimal operating temperature. This process typically takes only a few seconds for most soldering guns.
- Tècnica de soldadura: Apply solder to the joint, ensuring the heated tip makes good contact with both the component lead and the pad or wire to be soldered. Allow the solder to flow smoothly and form a strong connection.
- Refredament: After completing your work, disconnect the soldering gun from power and allow it to cool completely before storing it.
3.1 Tip Tinning
It is highly recommended to "tin" the new tip before its first use and periodically during operation. Tinning involves melting a small amount of solder onto the tip's working surface. This process helps to prevent oxidation, improves heat transfer efficiency, and ensures better solder flow.
4. Manteniment
Proper maintenance of your solder tip will significantly extend its lifespan and maintain soldering quality.
4.1 Cleaning the Tip
- Neteja regular: Netegeu la punta sovint a l'anunciamp sponge or brass wool during use to remove excess solder and flux residue. This prevents buildup and maintains a clean soldering surface.
- Residus obstinats: For more stubborn residue, use a dedicated tip cleaner or re-tin the tip.
- Evita danys: Do not use abrasive materials, excessive scraping, or filing on the tip, as this can damage the protective plating and shorten the tip's life.
