TB100PK Therma-Boost
Heat Tool
Thank you for purchasing the Weller Therma-Boost
heat tool. This is the latest in a line of both cordless
and corded soldering and hot air tools from Weller –
the world’s leading maker of soldering products.
With proper care, your new tool will give you years
of reliable service.
This unique tool combines the best features of a sol-
dering gun and soldering iron – fast heat-up, contin-
uous use, and light weight. The tool heats up to
working temperature quickly with the use of the sec-
ond stage Therma-Boost mode. Due to the unique
design, the tool can be used continuously. A tradi-
tional soldering gun can only be used intermittently.
And the tool is incredibly lightweight at just 3 oz., so
it is comfortable to use continuously. A wide variety
of tips allows use for repairs, hobbies, crafts, foam
c
utting, model making, home electronics, and boating.

control circuit that switches you back to Standard
mode after 45 seconds to prevent the gun from
o
verheating while in the Therma-Boost mode.
