■ 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.

WARNING

When power is ON, tip temperatures will be between 50 and 480 . (120 to 899 )

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-889.

●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 FX-889, be sure to observe the following:

●Do not use the HAKKO FX-889 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-889.

●Use only genuine HAKKO replacement parts.

●Do not allow the HAKKO FX-889 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-889, don’t do anything which may cause bodily harm or physical damage.

4. INITIAL SETUP

A. Setup the iron holder

(1) Cleaning Sponge

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.

(2) Cleaning Wire

Place it in the iron holder as shown on the right. See “B. Using the cleaning wire” in section “7. MAINTENANCE”.

The angle of the iron receptacles is adjustable by changing the fastening position of the screws.

CAUTION

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

B. Connect the iron to the station

1.Connect the cord assembly to the receptacle.

2.Place the iron into the iron holder.

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

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.

•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.

•The unit is protected against electrostatic discharge and must be grounded for full efficiency.

5. OPERATION

● Operation and indication

Switch and control button

The front panel of HAKKO FX-889 has two control buttons each for “A.IRON” and “B.IRON.”

– Use this button to select and change settings.

•In the temperature preset mode, pressing this button will change the selected preset temperature while the unit is in operation.

•Pressing and holding the button will start the adjustment mode.

–Use this button to make and confirm selections.

•Pressing this button will display the current set temperature.

•Pressing and holding the button will start the temperature setting mode.

A.Operation

(Refer to “Tip Maintenance.”)

● 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.

A. Changing the set temperature

The temperature setting range is from 50 to 480 . (from 120 to 899 )

By default, the temperature is set to 350 . (662 )

Example : Changing from 350 to 400

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

B. The preset mode

The HAKKO FX-889 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

P1: 250 (482 ), P2: 300 (572 ), P3: 350 (662 ), P4: 400 (752 ), P5: 450 (842 )

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 (250 ) to No.3 (350 ).

	Press the UP button	*Preset selection screen	Press the UP button

	alternately.

Heater control will begin with new preset temperature.

The procedure for making changes to the preset temperatures is the same with “A. Changing the set temperature” in 5. OPERATION. Enter the parameter setting to change the mode. (Please refer to [6.

PARAMETER SETTING])

C. 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 ±150 (270 ) relative to the set temperature. If a larger adjustment is needed, make the first adjustment at the maximum value of 150 (270 ), then repeat the adjustment process.

•When a new soldering iron is used or insertion position is changed from A.IRON to B.IRON (and vice versa), temperature adjustment is always required.

Example : If the measured temperature is 380 , and the set temperature is 400 .

1.Press and hold the UP button for at least two seconds.
