■ 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 the sponge is moistened with water before use to avoid damaging the tip.

Push on the plug until it stops, making sure it is securely connected.

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

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.
