Desoldering Tool Maintenance

The photo below shows what can happen when you do not use the recommended safety rest with the DXV80 desoldering tool. This is a photo of a disposable solder colletion chamber that was used in a desoldering tool. The operator used a stand that placed the desoldering pencil at a higher than recommended angle. Heat from the tool rises vertically, and in this case charred the colletion tube. For this tool, use only the AKV80 (order no. 0051503999) saftey rest, which will safely hold the desoldering pencil at the ideal angle.

1 - Just bought a Weller cordless (Butane) soldering iron. Can't get the damned thing lit. Is there some trick not listed in the instructions? (Comment this)

2 - Mike,
Can you please tell me which model you purchased? Some models have a Piezo ignition and some do not. Thanks! (Comment this)
