Operation
Station
With the tip installed into the handpiece and plugged into the station turn on the power switch. Below shows the display indication types.
Display | Details |
---|---|
Tip type |
The inserted tip type is automatically recognized and displayed
Output mode
Power [P] is set as a factory default. Power [P] is useful for workpieces that
require a large amount of heat. Normal [n] is useful for temperature-sensitive
workpieces. (See the separate document “Quick Parameter Settings parameter
No.12”)
| Preset No. and setting temperature
Iron holder
- The iron receptacle angle can be changed 45 ± 10 degrees with the knob.
- Make sure to wet the cleaning sponge before using it.
- The iron holder base can be removed by pressing the release button.
- The tip can be stored in the tip insertion holder.
- You can quickly and safely replace the tip using the iron holder.
Replacing the tip
Use the “left side top/bottom groove” or “right side groove” of the tip removing attachment to replace the tip.
-
Insert the tip until the handpiece contacts the “right side groove.” (Figure 1)
-
Pull the handpiece straight out. (Figure 2)
NOTE: Cool the tip in the tip removing attachment, and then rotate it to pull it out.
NOTE:
Note that using too much downward force can damage the tip or handpiece.
For safety purposes and to prevent damage to the product, make sure to press the iron holder with your hand. -
Insert the tip that has been placed in the tip insertion holder into the handpiece. (Figure 3)
NOTE By using the tip insertion holder, tip can be inserted firmly to the end.
CAUTION
After replacement, the tip remains at a high temperature for a long period of time. Take care not to get burned.
CAUTION
Place the handpiece into the iron holder and then turn on the power.
The following display appears after turning the power on.
Changing the temperature setting
Push this button once to display [ ] and transition to “temperature setting
mode.”
This mode is used when changing the set temperature.
To change to 400ºC
Once the normal screen appears, push the button to transition to preset No. mode.
Changing the preset No.
You can register up to five frequently used setting temperatures on the product, and then select the registration No. to change the setting temperature.
Push this button once to transition to “preset No. mode.”
Select one of the five temperatures registered in this mode.
( Factory default temperature settings: P1 250ºC (600ºF), P2 300ºC (700ºF), P3
350ºC (750ºF),
P4 400ºC (800ºF), P5 450ºC (850ºF))
To change to P4 (400ºC)
NOTE The registered temperature of each preset No. can be changed in
“parameter No. .” (See the separate document “Quick Parameter Settings”)
NOTE If you want to limit setting temperature changes, change the setting
in “parameter No. .” (See the separate document “Quick Parameter Settings”)
Parameter Settings
You can change the parameter settings to suit different work environments. See the separate document “Quick Parameter Settings.”
Maintenance
CAUTION
Do not file oxidation attached on the tip. This will shorten the tip lifespan.
Conducting maintenance will help keep the product in good condition and prolong the usage of the unit.
Daily maintenance
Setting temperature| Using the product at a temperature that is higher than
necessary can accelerate tip deterioration and damage parts that are
susceptible to heat. Use the lowest temperature whenever possible.
---|---
Before beginning work| Perform a visual check of the tip. Replace it if it is
bent or considerably worn. Use the cleaning sponge to wipe off any oxidation
or old solder from the tip. Impurities on a circuit board can result in poor
soldering.
When pausing work
After finishing work| Use sleep mode instead of leaving the handpiece set to
a high temperature for a long period of time. This prevents tip oxidation
which helps to maintain workability, which can extend the tip lifetime. Turn
off the power switch when not using the product for a long period of time.
(See ” ■ Pausing work (sleep mode)
Thoroughly clean the tip with the cleaning sponge and then coat it with new
solder. Doing so can prevent oxidation of the tip.
Periodic maintenance
-
Tip
Wear and tear on the tip will vary due to the operating temperature as well as the quality and amount of solder/flux used. Maintenance should be performed based on what suits your usage.- Turn the power ON.
- Set the temperature to 250ºC (482ºF).
- Once the temperature is stable, use the cleaning sponge to wipe the tip.
- If there is any black oxidation on the solder plating, apply new solder containing flux and then wipe it off with the cleaning sponge. Repeat this process until the oxidation is removed. Afterward, coat it with new solder.
- Turn the power off and remove the tip once it has cooled.
If you find flux, debris, and other particulates on anything other than the end of the tip, wipe it off with industrial alcohol.
-
Air inlet filter
Check the air inlet filter to make sure it is not clogged.
Clogging can cause the internal temperature of the station to rise, resulting in malfunction.
CAUTION
When replacing the filter, turn off the power switch and disconnect plug from the power outlet. -
Handpiece
Remove flux, debris, and other particulates adhering to the nipple.
It may cause contact failure inside the handpiece. -
Iron holder
- Press down the release button and remove the iron holder base, then clean the collected solder waste from the iron holder.
- Rotate the cleaning wire as need to a clean side where solder is not accumulated.
Tip temperature correction (offset)
Push this button once to display [ ] and transition to “temperature correction mode.” If the setting temperature and the measured value of the tip temperature differ in this mode, you can correct the temperature. (Correction range: ± 50ºC/± 90ºF)
To correct a temperature by 5ºC for a setting of 400ºC (to correct actual tip measurement reading 395ºC when set to 400ºC)
*Note that temperatures that exceed the correction range cannot be entered.
Once a tip degrades from wear, the tip temperature tends to drop.
The tip temperature changes if you replace the tip, the offset will need to be
readjusted. Make sure to change the offset value as needed while monitoring
the actual tip temperature.
You can automatically change the offset value using a HAKKO thermometer with a temperature sending function. Push the button before sending the measured value. (See the figure on the right)
Pausing work (sleep mode)
Push this button once to immediately transition to “sleep mode (state where the tip temperature has dropped to the set activation temperature).” Use this function occasionally to prevent tip oxidation. (Factory default setting: Parameter No. 07 setting is enabled and the activation temperature is 200ºC)
- Lift the handpiece from the iron holder.
- Push any of the operation buttons.
The product will not transition to sleep mode in the following cases:
- When the setting temperature is lower than 300ºC (580ºF)
- When the parameter No. 07 setting is disabled
Approximately six minutes after placing the handpiece on the iron holder, the product automatically transitions to sleep mode. Change parameter No. 02 and 13 settings as necessary for your work. (See the separate document “Quick Parameter Settings”)
To further prevent tip oxidation, set auto shut-off.
- Enable the parameter No. 08 setting.
- Set the time until the product is automatically shut-off in parameter No. .
The shorter the set time, the more effective it is.
If you disable the parameter No. 08 setting, the product will not
automatically shut-off even when the set time has elapsed.
Troubleshooting
CAUTION
Before performing an inspection or replacing parts, make sure to disconnect the power plug from the outlet.

handpiece plug been removed?| Turn off the power switch, reconnect the
handpiece, and turn the power switch back on again.
[S – E] is displayed.| Is the tip fully inserted?| Insert tip firmly into the
handpiece. (do not use excessive force)
[t – E] is displayed| Are you using a tip that is applicable with this
product?| If not, replace it with a T37 or T33 series tip
Cannot get solder on the tip.| Is the tip setting temperature too high or too
low?| Set an appropriate temperature.
Is there any oxidation on the tip?| Remove the oxidation. (See “6.
Maintenance”)
The tip temperature is too high. The tip temperature is too low.| Is the
offset value entered correct?| Measure and adjust the value. (See ” ■ Tip
temperature correction (offset)” in “4-3. Operation”)
