3. WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES
Warnings, cautions and notes are placed at critical points in this manual to direct the
operatorʼs attention to significant items. They are defined as follows:
WARNING: Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in injury or death.
CAUTION: Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result in injury to the operator, or
damage to the items involved. (One example is given below.)
NOTE: A NOTE indicates a procedure or point that is important to the process being de-
scribed.
CAUTION
When the power is on, the tip temperature is between 200°C/400°F and 400°C/750°F.
Since mishandling may lead to burns or fire, be sure to comply with the following pre-
cautions:
● Do not touch the metallic parts near the tip.
● Do not use the product near flammable items.
● Advise other people in the work area that the unit can reach a very high tempera-
ture and should be considered potentially dangerous.
● Turn off the power while taking breaks and when finished using the unit.
● Before replacing parts or storing the unit, turn off the power and allow the unit to
cool to room temperature.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the unit and ensure a safe working environment, be sure to
comply with the following precautions:
● Do not use the unit for applications other than those specifically described in the
instruction manual.
● Do not set the tip temperature higher than 400°C/750°F.
● Do not rap the FM-2023 against the work bench to shake off residual solder, or
otherwise subject the iron to severe shocks.
● Do not modify the unit.
● Use only genuine HAKKO replacement parts.
● Do not wet the unit or use the unit when your hands are wet.
● The operating process will produce smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated.
● Pull on the plug to disconnect the FM-2023 from the station outlet. Do not pull the
cord.
9
● The low-temperature
alarm tolerance error
occurs frequently.
CHECK : Is the tip too small for the items to be
removed?
ACTION
: Use a tip with a large thermal capac-
ity.
CHECK : Is the setting value for the low-tem-
perature alarm tolerance too low?
ACTION
: Increase the setting value.
● Tip ID error is dis-
played.
CHECK
: Does the tip come off during use?
ACTION
: Enter correctly. See section 6, Opera-
tion for instructions.
NOTE:
If the buzzer sounds three times when Tip ID number
key is inserted into the process gate, there has been
a reading error. Reinsert the Tip ID number key. If
the code bar is torn or damaged the process gate
will not be able to read it. See the FM-202 manual for
instructions of manually entering the Tip ID.
● Heater terminal short
circuit error is dis-
played.
CHECK : Is the tip for FM-2023?
ACTION
: Turn the power switch OFF and in-
sert the correct FM-2023 tip. Turn the
power switch ON.
● The tips cannot be
closed.
• The tips will not return to the
original position.
CHECK : Is there a foreign object between the
tips?
ACTION
: Remove it.
● Tip error or is
displayed.
ACTION
: Contact your Hakko representative.

CAUTION:
Refrain from inserting foreign objects, the
wrong end of the tip, or incompatible tips into
the process gate. Damage may result.
NOTE:
If the buzzer sounds three times when the

7. MAINTENANCE
● Tip maintenance
Please refer to the FM-202 Instruction manual.
● Checking Procedure
WARNING:
Unless otherwise directed, carry out these procedures with the power switch OFF and the power
UNPLUGGED.
● Verify the electrical integrity of
the heater and sensor
1. Check for a broken heater or sensor
Measure the resistance while at room tempera-
ture(15 to 25°C; 59 to 77°F). It should be 8Ω±
10%. If the resistance exceeds these limits, re-
place the tip.
Measure the resistance across the tip as shown.
● Check the grounding line 1. Unplug the connection cord from the station.
2. Measure the resistance value between pin 2
and the tip (both tips).
3. If the value exceeds 2Ω (at room tem-
perature), perform the tip maintenance de-
scribed on P.12 of the FM-202 instruction
manual. If the value still does not decrease,
check the connection cord for breakage.
● Checking the connection cord
for breakage
1. Insert a set of verified tips in both sides of the
handle.
2. Measure the resistance value between two
pins.
Pin 1 - Pin 3 7~9Ω
Pin 5 - Pin 3 8~10KΩ
Pin 7 - Pin 4 7~9Ω
Pin 8 - Pin 4 8~10KΩ
If the measured value exceeds above values, re-
place the FM-2023.

● Replacing the tip
Removing and inserting the tip:
Removing the tip:
Hold the handle and pull the tip out of the
handpiece with the heat resistant pad.
Inserting the tip:
Before inserting the tip; Insert the Tip ID
number key into the process gate until the
buzzer sounds once.
Hold head part and insert the tip into the
handpiece. Push until the tip stops.
CAUTION:
The tip can be very HOT. Use the heat resis-
tant pad for handling hot tips, but do not hold
the hot portion of the tip, even with the pad,
for longer than necessary.
Hold this part to insert into the handpiece.

6. When the set temperature is reached,
the buzzer sounds and the heater lamp
at the lower right of the temperature
display starts blinking.
NOTE:
Once the two tips are inserted into the hand-
piece, heat control begins.
Both tips of the set must be inserted or the
handpiece will not heat.
CAUTION:
Never set the temperature to any value over
400°C (750°F). Doing so may damage the
station. Set the temperature according to the
type of work to be done.
● Operating instructions
1. Set the Temperature
2. Switch lever on the handle
The FM-2023 is double acting.
• When the tips are touching - i.e. the
handpiece is closed- an ʻRʼ is visible on
the handle. Operate by squeezing the
movable part of the handle at the back.
• When the handpiece is open, an ʻNʼ
is visible on the handle. Operate by
squeezing the movable part of the
handle at the front.
3. Apply solder or flux
If there is insufficient solder on the PWB,
or the soldered area is too small, apply
solder or flux to the PWB. Solder may
also be applied to the tips.
4. Melt the solder
Place the tips on the soldered part and
melt the solder. Confirm that the solder is
fully melted. See sketch ʻAʼ.
5. Remove the component
After confirming that the solder is fully
melted, lightly squeeze the handpiece to
grasp the component and lift to remove
the component. See sketch ʻBʼ.
CAUTION:
Very high tip temperatures may damage the
printed circuit board, possibly causing the
printed pattern to become detached. HAKKO
recommends setting the tip temperature be-
low 300°C (572°F) for all normal work. Using
the lowest possible effective temperature not
only helps protect parts that are sensitive to
heat, it also helps protect the tip from deterio-
ration caused by heat.
