5. OPERATION
NOTE ：
Make sure the power switch of HAKKO
FX-888D station is OFF.
1. Inserting the solder
Push and hold the trigger upward in the
direction of the arrow and insert the solder
into the solder inlet and pass solder through.
Solder will protrude from the guide nozzle.
The solder may become stuck inside the unit
if the trigger is pulled before solder protrudes
from the guide nozzle.
2. Feeding the solder
Put the trigger back into place after inserting
the solder.
Solder can be fed by pulling the trigger.
3. Adjusting the guide nozzle.
Adjust the position where the solder touches the tip.
Loosen the adjusting screw and move the
guide nozzle up or down.
4. Solder feed adjustment
Adjusting the solder feed pitch by turning the
solder feed adjusting screw with a screwdriver.
Quantity of solder feed will decrease by tightening.
5. Changing to a different solder diameter
When changing to the different solder diameter,
push and hold the trigger upward in the
direction of the arrow and pull out the solder
from the solder inlet.
Then, insert the new solder as shown in
"1. Inserting solder".
A. Connection
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 unit.
1. Connect the cord assembly of HAKKO FX-8803
to the receptacle of HAKKO FX-888D.
2. Place the soldering gun into the iron holder(option).

5. OPERATION
B. Turn on the power switch
Turn on the power for HAKKO FX-888D soldering station.
The heater lamp flashes as the tip comes up to the set temperature.
The unit is now ready to perform soldering work.
Place the HAKKO FX-8803 in the iron holder when not in use.
●
Turn the power off when not using the station for a long time.

C. Calibration
Before using the HAKKO FX-8803, be sure to calibrate the station.
(Refer to the HAKKO FX-888D instruction manual.)
Use the HAKKO FG-100 Thermometer or HAKKO FG-101
Soldering Tester to measure the tip temperature.
D. Replacing the tip
Nut

6. MAINTENANCE
Performing proper and periodic maintenance extends product life and contributes to the
quality of soldering work. Efficient soldering depends upon the temperature, the quality and quantity of
the solder and flux. Apply the following service procedure as dictated by the conditions of the usage.
WARNING
Since the tip can reach a very high temperature, please work carefully.
Except where indicated, always turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the power plug
before performing any maintenance procedure.
Tip temperature
High temperatures shorten tip life and may cause thermal shock to components.
Always use the lowest possible temperature. The excellent thermal recovery characteristics
of the HAKKO FX-888D ensures effective soldering at low temperature.
Cleaning
Always clean the tip before use to remove any residual solder or flux adhering to it.
Use a cleaning sponge or the HAKKO 599B tip cleaner.
Contaminants on the tip may have negative effects, including reduced heat conductivity,
which contribute to poor performance.
When not in use
Never allow the unit to idle at a high temperature for extended periods. This will allow the
tip to become oxidized. Turn the power switch OFF. If it is to be out of service for
several hours, it is advisable to disconnect the power plug as well.
After use
Always clean the tip and coat it with fresh solder after use. This guards against oxidation.
Tip Maintenance
●
1. Set the temperature to 250℃.
2. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip and
check the condition of the tip. If the tip is badly worn or deformed, replace it.
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. Turn the power OFF and remove the tip, using the heat resistant pad. Set the tip aside to
cool.
Do not file the tip in an attempt to remove the black oxide.
