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:
To prevent accidents or damage to the HAKKO FR-701, be sure to observe the following:
● Do not use the unit for applications other than soldering or desoldering.
● Do not strike the handpiece against hard objects to remove excess solder. This will
damage the handpiece.

8. MAINTENANCE (Soldering iron)
Performing proper and periodic maintenance extends product life. Efficient soldering depends upon
the temperature, the solder / flux.
Apply the following service procedure as dictated by the conditions of usage.
● Tip Maintenance
1. Set the temperature to 250℃(482℉).
2. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip with the cleaning sponge and check the condition of the tip.
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. If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new one.
Since the soldering iron can reach a very high temperature, please work carefully. Except the case
especially indicated, always turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the power plug before performing
any maintenance procedure.
WARNING
CAUTION
Do not file the tip in an attempt to remove the black oxide.
■Cleaning the tip using the iron holder
1. Using the cleaning sponge 2. Using the cleaning wire
Use the cleaning sponge that comes with the
product to clean the tip. It offers wide-ranging
uses, from simple removal of excess solder to
complete elimination of matter occurring as a
result of oxidization.
Material that is not removed easily with the
cleaning sponge can likely be removed using
the cleaning wire.

After replacement
1. Measure the resistance between pins 4 and 1, 4 and 2, 5 and 1, and 5 and 2. If it is not ∞, the heating
element and sensor are touching. This will damage the circuit board.
2. Measure the resitance “a”, “b”, and “c” to confirm that the leads are not twisted and that the grounding
spring is properly connected.

Disconnect the plug of the cord assembly and
measure the resistance value between the ping
of the connecting plug as follows.
If the values of “a” and “b” are outside the value
in the table, replace the heating element
(sensor) and/or cord assembly.
If the value of “c” is over the value in the table,
remove the oxidization film by lightly rubbing with
sand-paper or steel wool the points shown in the

B. Broken Cord Assembly
There are two methods of testing the cord
assembly.
1. Turn the unit ON and set the temperature control
knob to 480℃ (880°F). Then bend the iron cord at
various locations along its length, including in the
strain relief area. The cord assembly needs to be
replaced if S-E is displayed or although the LED
heater lamp flashes, the tip temperature doesn’t
rise.
2. Check the resistance between the plug pin and the
terminal lead.
Pin 1: Red Pin 2: Blue Pin 3: Green Pin 4: White
Pin 5: Black
Resistance: 0 Ω.
If it is higher than 0 Ω or is ∞, the cord should be

● Setup the iron holder
Following the instructions given in the illustration on the right,
assemble the iron holder.

● When the cleaning sponge is included in the PACKING LIST
The sponge is compressed. It will swell when moistened
with water. Before using the unit, dampen the sponge with
water and squeeze it to remove excess water.
CAUTION
Be sure the sponge is moistened with water before use to avoid damaging the nozzle.
1. Fit the small sponge pieces into the hollows in the
cleaner base.
2. Add an appropriate amount of water into the cleaner base.
The small sponge pieces will absorb water and help keep
the larger sponge damp at all times.
3. Dampen the large sponge, squeeze it to remove excess
water and put it on the cleaner base.
● When the cleaning wire is included in the PACKING LIST
Following the instructions given in the illustration on the right,
put the cleaning wire on the cleaner base.
Operation:
First, remove any excess solder from the nozzle by thrusting
the nozzle into the cleaning wire.
(Do not wipe the nozzle against the wire. This may cause
molten solder to spatter.)
When the wire becomes dirty or loaded with solder, reposition
the wire until a clean surface is presented. When changing the
cleaning wire, lift the case top vertically to prevent solder debris
from falling out.

1. Place the nozzle over the lead wire of the part to be desoldered
and begin heating.
Be careful to heat the lead wire and the solder, not the land.
Placing the nozzle directly in contact with the land may cause the
land to peel off. You may apply a small amount of solder to form a
heat bridge to help the heating process.
2. Check to make sure all of the solder on the joint has melted.
With the nozzle still in place over the lead wire, slowly move the
lead wire, being careful not to apply too much force. If the lead
wire moves easily, all of the solder has melted.
3. Pull the trigger to remove the melted solder.
Make sure that a filter has been inserted in the desoldering tool.
Desoldering without a filter may damage the pump.
4. If the solder was not removed, re-solder the part using new solder

1. Place the nozzle over the lead wire of the part to be desoldered
and begin heating.
Be careful to heat the lead wire and the solder, not the land.
Placing the nozzle directly in contact with the land may cause the
land to peel off. You may apply a small amount of solder to form a
heat bridge to help the heating process.
2. Check to make sure all of the solder on the joint has melted.
With the nozzle still in place over the lead wire, slowly move the
lead wire, being careful not to apply too much force. If the lead
wire moves easily, all of the solder has melted.
3. Pull the trigger to remove the melted solder.
Make sure that a filter has been inserted in the desoldering tool.
Desoldering without a filter may damage the pump.
4. If the solder was not removed, re-solder the part using new solder
and then repeat the desoldering process.
