CAUTION： Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result in injury to the operator,

or damage to the items involved.



NOTE：A NOTE indicates a procedure or point that is important to the process

being described.

WARNING

When power is ON, the tip and nozzle will be hot. To avoid injury or damage to
personnel and items in the work area, observe the following:

● Do not touch the tip and nozzle or the metal parts near the tip and nozzle.

● Do not allow the tip and nozzle to come close to, or touch, flammable materials.

● Inform others in the area that the unit is hot and should not be touched.

● Turn the power off when not in use, or left unattended.

● Turn the power off when changing parts or storing the HAKKO FR-701.

● This unit is for counter or workbench use only.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and

●

above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in safe way and understand the hazards involved.

● Children shall not play with the appliance.

● Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by

children without supervision.

To prevent accidents or damage to the HAKKO FR-701, be sure to observe the following:

● Do not use the unit for applications other than soldering or desoldering.

● Do not strike the handpiece against hard objects to remove excess solder. This will

damage the handpiece.

● Do not modify the HAKKO FR-701.

● Use only genuine HAKKO replacement parts.

● Do not allow the HAKKO FR-701 to become wet, or use it when hands are wet.

● Be sure to hold the plug when inserting or removing the handpiece and power cords.

● Be sure the work area is well ventilated. Soldering and desoldering produces smoke.

● While using the HAKKO FR-701, don't do anything which may cause bodily harm

or physical damage.

8. MAINTENANCE (Soldering iron)

Performing proper and periodic maintenance extends product life. Efficient soldering depends upon
the temperature, the solder / flux.
Apply the following service procedure as dictated by the conditions of usage.

● Tip Maintenance

1. Set the temperature to 250℃ (482℉).

2. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip with the cleaning sponge and check the condition of the tip.

3. 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 all the oxide is removed, then coat the tip with fresh solder.

4. If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new one.

Since the soldering iron can reach a very high temperature, please work carefully. Except the case
especially indicated, always turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the power plug before performing
any maintenance procedure.

WARNING

CAUTION

Do not file the tip in an attempt to remove the black oxide.

■ Cleaning the tip using the iron holder

1. Using the cleaning sponge

2. Using the cleaning wire

Use the cleaning sponge that comes with the
product to clean the tip. It offers wide-ranging
uses, from simple removal of excess solder to
complete elimination of matter occurring as a
result of oxidization.

Material that is not removed easily with the
cleaning sponge can likely be removed using
the cleaning wire.

8. MAINTENANCE (Soldering iron)

Performing proper and periodic maintenance extends product life. Efficient soldering depends upon
the temperature, the solder / flux.
Apply the following service procedure as dictated by the conditions of usage.

WARNING

Since the soldering iron can reach a very high temperature, please work carefully. Except the case
especially indicated, always turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the power plug before performing
any maintenance procedure.

● Tip Maintenance

1. Set the temperature to 250℃ (482℉).

2. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip with the cleaning sponge and check the condition of the tip.

3. 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 all the oxide is removed, then coat the tip with fresh solder.

4. If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new one.

CAUTION

Do not file the tip in an attempt to remove the black oxide.

■ Cleaning the tip using the iron holder

1. Using the cleaning sponge

Use the cleaning sponge that comes with the
product to clean the tip. It offers wide-ranging
uses, from simple removal of excess solder to
complete elimination of matter occurring as a
result of oxidization.

2. Using the cleaning wire

B. Broken Cord Assembly

There are two methods of testing the cord
assembly.

1. Turn the unit ON and set the temperature control
knob to 480℃ (880°F). Then bend the iron cord at
various locations along its length, including in the
strain relief area. The cord assembly needs to be
replaced if S-E is displayed or although the LED
heater lamp flashes, the tip temperature doesn’t
rise.

2. Check the resistance between the plug pin and the
terminal lead.

Pin 1: Red Pin 2: Blue Pin 3: Green Pin 4: White

Pin 5: Black

Resistance: 0 Ω.

If it is higher than 0 Ω or is ∞, the cord should be

replaced.

CAUTION

The power lamp starts to flash when the
temperature reaches 480°C (880°F) regardless
of the condition of the cord.

the low-limit temperature you set. When the tip temperature rises over the
low-limit temperature you set, the normal display is restored.

* The low temperature error will be displayed once the set temperature

EXAMPLE:

Assume that the temperature setting is 400°C/750°F and the tolerance

50°C/100°F. If the temperature continues to decrease and finally falls
below the value indicated left while the heating element is on,
starts blinking to indicate that the tip temperature has dropped.

CHECKING PROCEDURE (Soldering iron)

Disconnect the plug of the cord assembly and
measure the resistance value between the ping
of the connecting plug as follows.

If the values of “a” and “b” are outside the value
in the table, replace the heating element
(sensor) and/or cord assembly.
If the value of “c” is over the value in the table,
remove the oxidization film by lightly rubbing with
sand-paper or steel wool the points shown in the
drawing on the right.

Buff lightly.

After replacement

1. Measure the resistance between pins 4 and 1, 4 and 2, 5 and 1, and 5 and 2. If it is not ∞, the heating
element and sensor are touching. This will damage the circuit board.

2. Measure the resitance “a”, “b”, and “c” to confirm that the leads are not twisted and that the grounding
spring is properly connected.

1. Turn the nut ① counterclockwise and remove the

2. Turn the nipple ④ counterclockwise and remove it
from the iron.

3. Pull both the heaing element ⑥ and the cord
assembly ⑦ out of the handle ⑧. (Toward the tip of
the iron).

4. Pull the grounding spring ⑤ out of the sleeve of the
terminal ⑨.

* Measure when the heating element is at room

temperature.

1. Heating element resistance (red) 2.5 – 3.5 Ω

2. Sensor resistance (blue) 43 – 58 Ω

If the resistance value is not normal, replace the
heating element. (Refer to the instructions included
with the replacement part.)

12. INITIAL SETUP (Desoldering Tool)

A. Iron holder

CAUTION

Increasing the angle of the handpiece receptacle will
cause an increase in the handpiece temperature.

NOTE :

You can put nozzles that are not in use on the radial tray
of the cleaner base.

Loosen the adjusting screws to change the angle of the handpiece
receptacle as you like, then tighten the screws.

● Setup the iron holder

Following the instructions given in the illustration on the right,
assemble the iron holder.

Radial tray

● When the cleaning sponge is included in the PACKING LIST

The sponge is compressed. It will swell when moistened
with water. Before using the unit, dampen the sponge with
water and squeeze it to remove excess water.

CAUTION

Be sure the sponge is moistened with water before use to avoid damaging the nozzle.

1. Fit the small sponge pieces into the hollows in the
cleaner base.

2. Add an appropriate amount of water into the cleaner base.
The small sponge pieces will absorb water and help keep
the larger sponge damp at all times.

3. Dampen the large sponge, squeeze it to remove excess
water and put it on the cleaner base.

● When the cleaning wire is included in the PACKING LIST

Following the instructions given in the illustration on the right,
put the cleaning wire on the cleaner base.

Operation:
First, remove any excess solder from the nozzle by thrusting
the nozzle into the cleaning wire.
(Do not wipe the nozzle against the wire. This may cause
molten solder to spatter.)
When the wire becomes dirty or loaded with solder, reposition
the wire until a clean surface is presented. When changing the
cleaning wire, lift the case top vertically to prevent solder debris
from falling out.
