Instruction Manual
FM2026-01 Soldering Iron
Thank you for purchasing the FM-2026 soldering iron.
The FM-2026 soldering iron is designed to supply hot gas to the soldering
area. This can increase soldering efficiency, as the gas pre-heats the work
area.
When the heated gas is nitrogen (Nz), soldering efficiency is further improved
as the nitrogen materially reduces the amount of oxygen in the ambient
atmosphere. Please read this manual before operating the FM-2026. Keep this
manual readily accessible for reference.
CAUTION When you use the FM-2026 for the first time, note that calibration
is required before starting operation. Read the instruction manual for the
station used in conjunction with the FM-2026 soldering iron.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Warnings and cautions are placed at critical points in this manual to direct
the operator’s attention to significant items. They are defined as follows:
WARNING: Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in serious injury
or death.
CAUTION: Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result i injury to the
operator, or damage to the items involved.
- Be sure o observe the following for safety.
CAUTION
When power in ON, tip temperature will be between 392°F and 752°F (200°C t0
400°C).
To avoid injury or damage to personnel and items in the work area, observe the
following:
- Do not touch the tip or the metal parts near the tip.
- Do not allow the tip to come close to, or touch, flammable materials.
- Inform others in the area that the unit is hot and should not be touched.
- Tum the power off when not in use, or left unattended.
- Tum the power off and allow sufficient time for cooling off when the unitis not in use.
To prevent accidents or damage, be sure to observe the following
- Do ot use the FM-2026 for applications other than soldering.
- Do not allow the FM-2026 to become wet, or use it with wet hands.
- Do ot modify the FM-2026.
- Use only genuine HAKKO replacement parts.
- Do not set the temperature over 752°F/400°C.
- Do not strike the iron against hard objects to remove excess solder. This will damage the iron.
- Remove power and iron cords by holding the plug – not the wires.
- Be sure the work area is well ventilated. Soldering produces smoke.
OPERATION
-
Iron holder
If the shape of the retaining clip of the iron holder is as shown in drawing A, the iron is not compatible with FM-2026. Please change to the retaining clip provided with the FM-2026 as shown in drawing B.
CAUTION
Shut off the gas supply when the FM-2026 is left unatiended for an extended period. -
Tip
Select and attach the proper nozzle assembly (see the cross reference table in section 9, parts st for the tip. Insert the tip into the connector until it touches the stop. -
Connection
CAUTION
When you connect or disconnect power to the mains or the receptacie, always turn off the power switch on the station to preclude damage to the unit.
1. Connect the power cord to the power receptacle at the back of the station. Connect th connector cord to the receptacle at the front of the station.
2.Place the FM-2026 soldering iron on the iron holder.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall socket.
4. Insert the tube of the FM-2026 to the terminal marked ‘OUT of the HAKKO -
(Refer to the instruction manual for the HAKKO 955B.) If HAKKO 9558 is not used, refer to the diagram on the right for connection and use without HAKKO 955B.
-
Temperature setting
• If used in conjunction with FM-202.
Insert the tip ID end of the tip into the process gate until the buzzer sounds once.
caution
Tip temperature may not reach the set value if the gas flow rate exceeds the specified limit.
CAUTION
Set the maximum temperature to 752°F/400°C.
Suggested flow rate: 0.5¢/min. — 1.5¢/min.
CAUTION
- Shut offthe gas supply when the FM-2026 is not in use.
- Auto power shutoff may not function normally.
This is a result of gas discharge across the tip.
CAUTION
Ensure that the gas pressure to the FM-2026 is less than 0.2MPa (2.0kgf/cm?).
If the pressure exceeds 0.2MPa, damage may occur.
TIP STYLE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Tip temperature –
High temperatures shotten tip life. Always use the soldering iron at the
lowest possible temperature.
The excellent thermal recovery charactefistics of the FM-2026 ensures
effective soldering at low temperature, protecting sensitive components easily
damaged by thermal shock.
Cleaning –
Always clean the soldering tip before use to remove any residual solder or
flux adhering to it. Use the 599B tip cleaner or a clean moist cleaning
sponge.
Contaminants on the tip have many deleterious effects, including reduced heat
conductivity, which contribute to poor soldering performance.
Intermuption –
Do not allow the unitto idle at high temperature for extended periods. A heavy
oxide layer on the tip will reduce the heat transfer from the tip..
After use –
Whenever you finish soldering work, always clean the tip and coat it with
fresh solder.
“This guards against oxidation.
MAINTENANCE
Tip maintenance
- Set the temperature to 482°F/250°C.
- When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip and check its condition.
- If the solder plated part of the tip is covered with black oxide, apply fresh solder containing flux and clean the tip again. Repeat until il the oxide is removed, then coat the tip with fresh solder.
- Turn the power OFF and remove the tip after it cools off. Remaining oxides, such as the yellow discoloration on the tip shaft, can be removed with isopropyl alcohol.
- Replace the tip with a new one if it s badly deformed or corroded.
CAUTION
NEVER fil the tip to remove oxides!
Maintenance of nozzle assembly
As the unitis used, oxidation will accumulate on the nozzle tip. Remove it
periodically by cleaning so that the gas will flow freely.
