Always place the soldering tool in the
safety rest while not in use.
Thank you for buying the Weller DXV 80 desoldering iron. The
apparatus has been subjected in the production process to the
most stringent quality requirements, which will ensure faultless
apparatus operation.
1. Caution
Please read these Operating Instructions and the Safety
Information carefully prior to initial operation of the apparatus.
Failure to observe the safety regulations results in a risk to life
and limb.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage or injury resul-
ting from use that deviates from these Operating Instructions
and from unauthorised modifications.
Safety information
When not in use, always place the desoldering iron in the ori-
ginal holder.
Make sure that all combustible objects are removed from the
vicinity of the hot desoldering iron.
Antistatic plastics are provided with conductive fillers to pre-
vent static charges. This prevents the insulating properties of
the plastic.
Never carry out work on live components.
Avoid unintentional operation. Never leave the hot desoldering
iron unsupervised.
The desoldering tool may only be operated in technically flaw-
less condition.
Wear suitable protective clothing. Risk of burns from liquid
solder.
2. Description
The DXV 80 desoldering iron can be connected to all electroni-
cally controlled WELLER unsoldering equipment with 80 W con-
nection systems. A superior-quality sensor and heat transfer
technology ensure that the desoldering tool has a precise tem-
perature control response. The desoldering iron is particularly

well suited to reworking and repairing SMD or conventionally
printed board assemblies. Different X-series suction nozzles and
CSF desoldering tips solve many desoldering problems here. The
suction removal process is initiated by actuating the finger
switch. The solder collecting container consists of a disposable
cartridge with filter. Easy and quick replacement of the disposa-
ble cartridge minimises the maintenance expenditure of the
desoldering iron. The handle, incoming cable and vacuum hose
are made from antistatic material and contribute to the high qua-
lity standard of this desoldering iron.
3. Startup
Place the desoldering iron in the safety holder. Plug the connec-
tor into the connection socket of the control unit and lock.
Connect the vacuum hose to the connection fitting (Vac) of the
control unit. Switch on the control unit and set the desired wor-
king temperature (380°C / 716°F recommended). The optical
control indicator on the control unit starts to flash when the ope-
rating temperature is reached. The suction removal process is
initiated by actuating the finger switch.
4. Work instructions
The inside diameter of the suction nozzle should correspond
roughly to the bore diameter of the PCB. Position the suction
nozzle vertically and switch on the vacuum only when the solder
is fully melted on. During the suction removal process move the
component connection in a circular motion. If all the solder is not
removed by suction, tin the soldering joint again and repeat the
unsoldering process. Using additional tin solder wire maintains
the good spreading power of the suction nozzle and guarantees
good thermal conductivity.
4.1 Cleaning, maintenance
In order to achieve good desoldering results, it will be necessa-
ry to clean the desoldering tip on a regular basis. This work
involves cleaning the suction nozzle and the suction pipe, repla-
cing the disposable cartridge (9) and checking the seals and fil-
ter. Always use new disposable cartridges to rule out the risk of
leaks.
To clean the suction nozzle bore, use the cleaning tool
(5 13 500 99) with a matching cleaning needle. Cleaning of the
suction pipe takes place without the suction nozzle and is per-
formed with the cleaning brush (5 87 418 23).
