3. WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES

Warnings, cautions and notes are placed at critical points in this manual to direct the operator’s attention to significant items. They are defined as follows:

Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in serious injury or death.WARNING:

CAUTION :

Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result in injury to the operator, or damage to the items involved. Two examples are given below.

WARNING

When power is ON, tip temperatures will be between 400 to 899℉. (200 and 480℃) 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.

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

● Turn the power off when changing parts or storing the HAKKO FX-888D.

● This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

● If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly

qualified person in order to avoid personal injury or damage to the unit.

● The unit is for a counter or workbench use only.

● To prevent accidents or damage to the HAKKO FX-888D, be sure to observe the following:

● Do not use the HAKKO FX-888D for applications other than soldering.

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

● Do not modify the HAKKO FX-888D.

● Use only genuine Hakko replacement parts.

● Do not allow the HAKKO FX-888D to become wet, or use it with wet hands.

● Remove power and iron cords by holding the plug. not the wires.

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

● While using the HAKKO FX-888D, don’t do anything which may cause bodily harm or physical damage.

4.INITIAL SETUP

A. Setup the iron holder

1. Fit the small sponge pieces into the hollows of the iron holder base.

2. Add an appropriate amount of water into the iron holder base. The small sponge will absorb water and help keep the large sponge damp at all times.

3. Dampen the large sponge and place it on the iron holder base.

CAUTION

Be sure the sponge is moistened with water

before use to avoid damaging the tip.

*When using a Cleaning Wire

Place it in the iron holder as shown on the right. See "2.Using a Cleaning Wire" in section "7. MAINTENANCE"

B. Connect the iron to the station

CAUTION

Be sure to turn off the power before connecting or

disconnecting the cord assembly for the iron to and from the receptacle to avoid damaging the circuit board.

1. Connect the cord assembly to the receptacle.

CAUTION

Do not use any iron other than those listed in Section 1 of this manual. Doing so may result in inadequate performance and / or

possible damage to the unit.

2. Place the iron into the iron holder.

3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate power supply.

Small sponge pieces

Push on the plug until it stops, making sure it is

securely connected.

Large sponge

Receptacle

To disconnect, hold the plug and pull it out of the receptacle.

CAUTION

The unit is protected against electrostatic discharge

and must be grounded for full efficiency.

■ Making Changes to Settings

CAUTION

If no buttons are pressed for at least one minute during the process of changing settings of the unit, the system will exit and return to operating mode and display the current temperature.

● Changing the set temperature

There are two ways to change the setting temperature : normal mode or preset mode. The temperature setting range is from 400 to 899℉. (from 200 to 480℃) By default, the temperature is set to 750℉. (399℃)

Press the button once.

The desired temperature is saved to the system memory. Heater control will begin after the new set temperature is displayed.

● The preset mode

The FX-888D has a preset mode that will allow the unit to store up to 5 preset temperatures you can change between instead of using the above normal mode.

Initial preset temperatures

: 600℉ (316℃) : 700℉ (371℃) : 750℉ (399℃) : 800℉ (427℃) : 850℉ (454℃)

The initial number of active presets is set to 5 at the factory. The default selected preset is set to P3 at the factory.

5. OPERATION

● Performing the temperature adjustment

When replacing the iron, heater or tip, a temperature adjustment may be required. Use Adjustment Mode to perform the temperature adjustment.

CAUTION

• Enter the observed value in the adjustment mode after the tip temperature stabilizes.

• The maximum single adjustment that can be made is ±270℉ (150℃) relative to the set temperature.

If a larger adjustment is needed, make the first adjustment at the maximum value of 270℉ (150℃), then repeat the adjustment process.

Example : If the measured temperature is 760℉,

and the set temperature is 800℉.

1. Press and hold the button down

for at least two seconds.

7. MAINTENANCE

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

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 482℉ (250℃).

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.

■ 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.

Page 11

8. CHECKING PROCEDURE

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

The power lamp starts to flash when the

temperature reaches 880℉ (480℃) regardless of the condition of the cord.

1.Turn the unit ON and set the temperatureto 480℃. 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.

Page 12

9. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Before checking the inside of the FX-888D or replacing parts, be sure to disconnect the power plug.

If the cord assembly is broken, replace the HAKKO FX-8801. If the heating element / sensor is broken, replace the heating element.

● The Heater- error is displayed.

Is the heater broken? If the heater is broken, replace the heating element.

If the cord assembly is broken, replace the HAKKO FX-8801.

Is the iron temperature adjusted correctly? Perform the temperature adjustment.
