7. MAINTENANCE

The unit should be maintained periodically to be able to use it in proper condition for a long
time. Since the degree of consumption of the unit varies depending on the use temperature,

etc., perform maintenance of the unit according to use conditions.

WARNING

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

About blades

①Maintenance

Although blades are designed to resist oxidation, if oxidation of
the blades occurs and prevents you to do wire-stripping work
smoothly, use a wire brush lightly on the blade to remove the oxide.
Applying a wire brush strongly may damage the blades, resulting in
reduced service life. Therefore, do not brush blades excessively.

②Suspension during use

Leaving the unit in a no-load condition for a long time with the blade
heated highly may cause the surface to be oxidized, resulting in
reduced service life of blades due to overload applied to the heating
element.
Be sure to enable auto sleep and place the handle on the handle holder
when not using it.
Be sure to switch off the power switch if the unit will not be used for a
long time.

8. INSPECTION

WARNING

Unless otherwise specied, be sure to switch off the power and unplug the power plug when

performing the following procedures.

①Blown heating element

②How to check whether the

connection cord is
connected or disconnected

5

1

③How to replace the fuse

Check that no electrical abnormality occurs in the heating element.

Measure the resistance at normal temperature (15 to 25℃).
The normal value is 3.5Ω±10％ If the measured resistance value is

abnormal, replace the blade with a new one.

Attach normal blades (whose resistance value of heating elements is

normal) to both handles and measure the resistance value between

the connector pins.

Resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 5: 6.2Ω to 8.0Ω

If the resistance value is outside the above value range, replace

the HAKKO FT-8004 with a new one.

1. Unplug the power cord from the inlet.

2. Pull out the fuse holder.

3. Replace the current fuse with a new one.

4. Reassemble the fuse holder to its original condition.

Measure the resistance of this section of the heating element.
