You can register up to five frequently used setting temperatures on the product, and then select the registration No. to change 

the setting temperature.

Push 

Push this button once to transition to "preset No. mode."

Select one of the five temperatures registered in this mode.

( Factory default temperature settings:  P1  250ºC (600ºF), P2  300ºC (700ºF), P3  350ºC (750ºF),

Tip temperature correction (offset)

Push 

Push this button once to display [

] and transition to "temperature correction mode." If the setting 

temperature and the measured value of the tip temperature differ in this mode, you can correct the temperature.

*Note that temperatures that exceed the correction range cannot be entered.

  Once a tip degrades from wear, the tip temperature tends to drop.  

The tip temperature changes if you replace the tip, the offset will 

need to be readjusted. Make sure to change the offset value as 

needed while monitoring the actual tip temperature.

  You can automatically change the offset value using a HAKKO 

thermometer with a temperature sending function. Push the 

 

b

utton before sending the measured value. (See the figure on the

Pausing work (sleep mode)

Push 

Push this button once to immediately transition to "sleep mode (state where the tip temperature has 

dropped to the set activation temperature)." Use this function occasionally to prevent tip oxidation.

(Factory default setting: Parameter No. 

 setting is enabled and the activation temperature is 200ºC)

Normal screen

Transition to normal mode

Lift the handpiece from the iron holder.

  Push any of the operation buttons.

  The product will not transition to sleep mode in the following cases:

When the setting temperature is lower than 300ºC (580ºF)

When the parameter No.   setting is disabled

  Approximately six minutes after placing the handpiece on the iron holder, the product automatically transitions to sleep mode.  

Change parameter No.   and   settings as necessary for your work. (See the separate document "Quick Parameter 

Settings")

  To further prevent tip oxidation, set auto shut-off.

(1) Enable the parameter No.   setting.

(2) 

 Set the time until the product is automatically shut-off in parameter No. 

.  

The shorter the set time, the more effective it is. 

 

If you disable the parameter No. 

 setting, the product will not automatically shut-off even when the set time has 

elapsed.

5.  Parameter Settings

You can change the parameter settings to suit different work environments. See the separate document 

 

"Quick Parameter Settings."

6.  Maintenance

CAUTION

Do not file oxidation attached on the tip. This will shorten the tip lifespan.

Conducting maintenance will help keep the product in good condition and prolong the usage of the unit.

 

Daily maintenance

Setting  

temperature

Using the product at a temperature that is higher than necessary can accelerate tip deterioration 

and damage parts that are susceptible to heat. Use the lowest temperature whenever possible.

Before  

beginning work

Perform a visual check of the tip. Replace it if it is bent or considerably worn. Use the cleaning 

sponge to wipe off any oxidation or old solder from the tip. Impurities on a circuit board can result 

in poor soldering.

When pausing 

work

Use sleep mode instead of leaving the handpiece set to a high temperature for a long period of 

time. This prevents tip oxidation which helps to maintain workability, which can extend the tip  

lifetime. Turn off the power switch when not using the product for a long period of time.

(See "

 Pausing work (sleep mode)")

After finishing 

work

Thoroughly clean the tip with the cleaning sponge and then coat it with new solder. Doing so can 

prevent oxidation of the tip.

 

Periodic maintenance

Tip

Wear and tear on the tip will vary due to the operating temperature as well as the quality and amount of 

solder/flux used. Maintenance should be performed based on what suits your usage.

(1) Turn the power ON.

(2) Set the temperature to 250ºC (482ºF).

(3) Once the temperature is stable, use the cleaning sponge to wipe the tip.

(4) 

 If there is any black oxidation on the solder plating, apply new solder containing flux and then wipe it off 

with the cleaning sponge. Repeat this process until the oxidation is removed. Afterward, coat it with new  

solder.

(5) 

 Turn the power off and remove the tip once it has cooled. 

 

If you find flux, debris, and other particulates on anything other than the end of the tip, wipe it off with 

industrial alcohol.

Air inlet filter

Check the air inlet filter to make sure it is not 

 

clogged.  

Clogging can cause the internal temperature of  

the station to rise, resulting in malfunction.

CAUTION

When replacing the filter, turn off the power 

switch and disconnect plug from the power 

outlet.

Handpiece

Remove flux, debris, and other particulates adhering to the nipple. 

 

It may cause contact failure inside the handpiece.

Iron holder

 Press down the release button and remove the iron holder base, then clean the collected solder waste 

from the iron holder.

Rotate the cleaning wire as need to a clean side where solder is not accumulated.

7.  Troubleshooting

CAUTION

Before performing an inspection or replacing parts, make sure to disconnect the power plug from the outlet.

No operation even if 

power switch is turned 

ON.

Has the power cord or 

connection plug been removed?

Plug unit into outlet.

Is the fuse blown?

Replace the fuse. 

If the fuse is blown again, send the 

main unit (including handpiece, power 

cord) back for service.

[C - E] is displayed.

Is an incompatible soldering 

iron connected? Or has the 

handpiece plug been removed?

Turn off the power switch, reconnect 

the handpiece, and turn the power 

switch back on again.

[S - E] is displayed.

Is the tip fully inserted?

Insert tip firmly into the handpiece. 

 

(do not use excessive force)

[t - E] is displayed.

Are you using a tip that is 

applicable with this product?

If not, replace it with a T37 or T33 series 

tip.

Cannot get solder on the 

tip.

Is the tip setting temperature too 

high or too low?

Set an appropriate temperature.

Is there any oxidation on the tip?

Remove the oxidation. 

(See "6. Maintenance")

The tip temperature is 

too high.

The tip temperature is 

too low.

Is the offset value entered 

correct?

Measure and adjust the value.

 

(See "

 Tip temperature correction 

(offset)" in "4-3. Operation")

The auto shut-off 

 

function does not work.

Is parameter No.   [OFF]?

Change it to [on] to enable feature.
