3. Equipotential bonding

The equipotential bonding lead is connected at the centre contact of the 3.5 mm. pawl
socket (at the rear of the unit).
Three variations are available by means of different circuitry options:
Without connector : no equipotential bonding, zero voltage
With connector, compensation lead : equipotential bonding to the soldering tip
at the centre contact
With short-circuited connector : mains earth at the connected soldering tool
The soldering tip is equipped with protective low voltage. The heating current flows
directly through the soldering tip. The soldering tip is connected via the R32 trimming
capacitor on the circuit board to the equipotential bonding lead. If required, the voltage
between the soldering tip and the equipotential bonding socket can be set to a minimum
using the knurled knob of the R32 trimming capacitor. To do this, the casing of the
soldering station must be opened.

4. Operating guidelines

When changing tips, always disconnect the soldering station beforehand. Only change the tip
using the enclosed rubber neck which is placed around the metal case of the soldering tip.
Touching different metal parts of the soldering tip at the same time can damage them.
Dry hands may possibly affect the conductivity of the metal ring.
Always keep the tip covered with solder. Remove flux residues from time to time by
wiping the soldering tip over the damp cleaning sponge.

5. Safety instructions

No liability is undertaken by the manufacturer for usage other than that specified in the
operating instructions, nor for any unauthorised modifications.
These operating instructions and the warning notices contained therein must be read
carefully and placed in a clearly visible position near the solder unit. Failure to adhere to
warning notices can lead to accidents and injuries or damage health.
The WELLER MT 1500 soldering station complies with the EC declaration of conformity
in accordance with the basic safety requirements of guideline 89/336/EEC, 73/392/EEC
and 89/392/EEC.

8. WARNING NOTICES!

1. Keep your work area in proper order.
Always return the soldering tool to its original holder when not in use. Do not bring
combustible materials near the hot soldering tools.
2. Take care for the surroundings.
Don't use the soldering tool in a moist or wet environment.
3. Protect yourself against electrical shocks.
Avoid touching grounded parts with your body, e.g. pipes, heating radiators, stoves, refrigerators.
4. Keep children at a distance.
Don't allow other persons to touch or disturb the soldering tool or cord. Keep other
persons away from your work area.
5. Store your soldering tool in an appropriate place
Unused soldering tools should be stored in a dry location which is out of the reach of
children (some place high or in a locked cabinet). Switch off all unused soldering tools.
6. Do not overload your soldering tool.
Use the soldering tool only with the specified voltage or specified pressure and pressure range.
