■ Electrostatic Protection
This product includes such features as electrically conductive plastic parts and grounding of the unit
as measures to protect the device to be soldered from the effects of static electricity. Be sure to observe the following instructions:
1.The plastic parts are not insulators, they are conductors. When making repairs or replacing parts, take sufficient care not to expose live electrical parts or damage insulation materials.
2.Be sure to ground the unit during use.
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:
WARNING: Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in serious injury or death.
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.
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 )
● The normal mode
Example : Changing from 750 to 800
Hold down the ENTER button for at least one second.
Press the
Press the UP button five times.
Press the
ENTER button once.

button once.
Press the ENTER 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.
Example : Changing preset temperature from preset No.1(600 ) to No.3(750 ).

Heater control will begin with new preset temperature.
The procedure for making changes to the preset temperatures is the same as changing the set temperature in normal mode.
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 UP button down for at least two seconds.
●The hundreds digits in the display will begin to flash when shifting to the adjustment mode. It indicates that you can enter the value.
2. Changing from 
to 
●The procedure for changing the value in adjustment mode is the same as setting the temperature in normal mode.
Please refer to Section 5 - OPERATION.
NOTE :
During adjustment mode, the hundreds digit will accept values from 0 through 6 if the temperature is set to display in , or the values 0 through 9 if the temperature is set to display in .
3.Press the ENTER button to exit the setting after changing the values.
● The tip temperature will be adjusted accordingly.
