4. INITIAL SETUP
1. Insert the blades fully and match the
V-groove on the blades to the V-groove
on the mounting ange. Push until blades
are ush with mounting ange.
2. Insert the hexagon socket set screws but do
not tighten.
―NOTE ―
Blades will not heat up unless both blades are
fully inserted. Be sure to use the blades as a set.
3. Adjust and align the blades manually then
tighten the hexagon socket set screws with
the hexagon wrench to secure the blades.

1. Switch off the power and wait until the blades
have cooled down.
2. Remove the screws with the hexagonal
wrench and remove the blades using the main
body blade removal plate.
CAUTION
• When pulling out or inserting blades, be sure
that the power is switched off.
• Before pulling out the blades, check that the
blades have cooled down sufciently.

3. The displayed output value will
blink. After the temperature has
increased and stabilized,
the displayed value will change from
blinking to lit. The unit is ready for
use when the displayed value is lit.
* For the output value, set it according
to the following wire material
indication table.

―NOTE ―
Output values will vary from the values in the
table above depending on the wire composition
and wire diameter. In addition, it may be
necessary to set higher values depending on
blade oxidation and maintenance conditions.
CAUTION
• The factory default value is set to 50%.
• Since the blades will become hot, place the
handle on the handle holder when it is not
being used.

1. Remove the insulating cover from the handle cover
L-side as shown in gure 1 (side with HAKKO FT-
8004 logo) and remove the screw from the handle
cover L-side.
2. Remove the handle cover L.
3. Align the lead adjuster as shown in gure 3 in the
designated channel in the handle cover L. Tighten
lightly in place using mounting bracket and screw.
4. Firmly t the bottom side of the insulation cover to
the handle cover as shown in gure 4.
5. Attach handle cover L to the handpiece at the bottom
and tighten the screw for handle cover L. Reattach
insulating cover to the top side of the handle cover
L. Adjust the length of the lead adjuster and rmly
tighten the screw.
― NOTE ―
Pay attention to the direction of the blades when
attaching the lead adjuster. (Refer to the following
gure.)
Attach the lead adjuster so that the adjuster plate end
is in parallel with the blade surface.
The lead adjuster can be removed with the handle
cover attached to the handle.

The output value range is 5% to 100%. The output values can be set in increments of 5%.
If the output is 80% or less, will be displayed when the handpiece is placed on the station indicating
the timer start for the auto sleep setting set by parameter 02. If , or [ENTER] are pressed while
is displayed, the current output value will then be displayed. If the output is more than 80%,
will be displayed when the handpiece is placed on the station, for more information refer to page 10.

The lead adjuster is a tool for setting the wire
stripping length.
Adjust the distance between the blade end and
the adjuster plate to the desired wire stripping
length and slide it.
(Settable stripping length is 1 to 35 mm.)

5. HOW TO USE (continued)
1. Align the wire end with the lead adjuster.
2. Pinch the wire with the blades according to
the diameter of the wire to be stripped. The
pinched area will be melted by heat.
3. Spread the heat evenly over the pinched area
by rotating the wire and the blades.
4. Pull the blades toward the wire end to be
stripped.

6. SETTING PARAMETERS
To make this product more convenient to use, the HAKKO FT-802 has the following parameters
which can be set. The parameter settings can be changed to suit your use environment.
•Password setting
Setting a password allows you to lock the settings
for the output values and parameter values.
•High output setting*
The high output function for the blade output can
be enabled or disabled.
•Output upper limit setting*
An upper limit for the blade output can be set to
prevent the output from being set above the limit
value.
* When stripping is difficult by wire diameter and
composition, use a high output mode.
• Auto sleep enable/disable setting
The auto sleep function can be enabled or disabled.
• Auto sleep time setting
Auto sleep saves the set output by approx. 50%
and reduces the blade temperature to conserve
power consumption.
• Auto shutoff enable/disable setting
The auto shut-off function can be enabled or
disabled.
• Auto shutoff time setting
After the set time has elapsed, the output will be
switched off and the unit will enter standby mode.
