5. OPERATION
CAUTION
The temperature of the nozzle end differs depending on the type of
nozzles.
Calibrate the nozzle temperature by adjusting the CAL to ensure
optimal performance.
(1) Preparation
1. Insert the plug of the power cord into an outlet.
2. Turn the power switch ON.
3. Wait for about 1 minute until the nozzle will melt solder, then apply a generous coating of
your solder to the end of the nozzle.
When the iron temperature reaches the set temperature, the LED lamp will ash.

(2) Desoldering
CAUTION
• If the pump does not operate, immediately clean
the nozzle & heating element and replace the lter
if necessary.
• Do not remove the pump cover during use.
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 lter has been inserted in the
desoldering tool. Desoldering without a lter may
damage the pump.
4. If the solder was not removed, re-solder the part using
new solder and then repeat the desoldering process.

5. OPERATION (Continued)
(3) Cleaning
Cleaning is extremely important and should be done frequently during the desoldering process.
Parts should be checked periodically for wear and should be replaced if necessary. See the
MAINTENANCE section of these instructions.
• Clean the nozzle as you would clean a soldering tip: wipe away any excess solder with a
sponge moistened with de-ionized or distilled water, or using a wire tip cleaner.
Before putting the desoldering tool away, apply a new coat of solder on the tip.
• Using a cleaning pin that matches the diameter of the nozzle, clean the inside of the nozzle
opening. This must be done while the nozzle and heating core are still hot, so be careful.
• Discard any solder that has collected in the lter pipe. Do this carefully, as the solder will
still be extremely hot.
• Replace the lter. See the MAINTENANCE section of these instructions.
The ceramic paper lter (L) should be replaced immediately when a stain appears or vacuum
decreases. Failure to do this will reduce the performance of the pump and may damage it.
● Cleaning with cleaning pin
● Cleaning with cleaning drill
● Clean the heating core
The cleaning pin passes
completely through the hole.
Rotate the cleaning drill clockwise while inserting,
then pull straight out.
Scrape away all oxidation from the hole in the heating element until
the cleaning pin passes cleanly through the hole.
*Cleaning drill (optional)
The cleaning pin passes cleanly
and completely through the hole.
(4) Temperature setting
The temperature of the HAKKO FR-301 can be adjusted between 350 - 500 °C/660 - 930 °F.
Set the temperature in accordance with the requirements of the job being done. Although the
temperature needed for desoldering cannot be determined merely by the type of board to be
desoldered, the values in the table below may be used as a general guide.
6. MAINTENANCE
The frequency of cleaning and part replacement greatly depends on a variety of factors,
including the temperature at which the desoldering tool is operated, and the types of
solder and ux used. Using the table below as a general guide, clean and replace parts in
accordance with use conditions.
Maintenance
During use
Clean nozzle
Discard solder that has collected
Clean nozzle and heating core
When necessary Replace parts
Periodically Clean pump
Low High
CAUTION
Change the temperature only with the temp. control knob.
Do not use the “CAL” trim pot.
Type of board Approximate setting (on scale)

• In general, the greater the temperature, the more quickly the
nozzle will oxidize and wear out.
• As nozzle oxidation and wear increases, the nozzle temperature
will decrease. In such cases, increasing the set temperature
will only accelerate oxidation and hasten wear.
Replace worn nozzles as soon as possible.

● Filter Pipe and related parts
Be careful since the area around the lter pipe is extremely hot.
1. Pull the rear holder back until it clicks (locks into place) and remove the lter pipe.
2. Inspect the lter and holders and replace as needed.
3. During assembly, be sure to insert the lter. Failure to do so may damage the unit. After
the parts have been assembled, place the lter pipe assembly into position and push the
release button. The back holder will spring forward and secure the lter pipe while creating
a vacuum seal.

NOTE: Be careful since the areas around the nozzle and heating element are very hot.
1. Remove the element cover and the nozzle with the included nozzle wrench.

6. MAINTENANCE (Continued)
● Pump
Turn off the tool, remove the power plug from the power outlet and wait until the unit has
cooled completely.
1. Loosen the screws on the back of the pump cover and remove the pump cover.
2. Remove the xing plate.
3. Clean the valve plate, xing plate and pump head with isopropyl alcohol.
Align the notch on the pump head with the corresponding notch on the valve plate.
Match the notch on the outside of the pump head with the one on the xing plate.
Mount the diaphragm so that it is smooth and taut.
● Replacing the heating element (heating core)
Turn off the tool, remove the power plug from the outlet and wait until the unit has cooled
completely.
1. Remove the nozzle and element cover assembly with the nozzle changing tool and remove
the joint cover.
2. Loosen the screw at the back of the pump cover and remove the pump cover.
3. Remove the 6 screws from the handpiece (including 2 screws at the ange) and carefully
separate the housing.
4. Disconnect the heating element terminal and replace the heating element.
5. Assemble using the same procedure in reverse.
6. Calibrate the nozzle temperature.
Be sure to calibrate the nozzle temperature after replacing the heating element. Failure to do
this may result in a heater temperature that is much higher or lower than the previous one,
and can contribute to accelerated oxidation and/or wear of the nozzle, or premature failure of
the heating element.

Calibrating the temperature
1. Install a new nozzle. The nozzle being used may have already
started to wear, so use a new nozzle.
2. Insert the power plug into the outlet.
3. Set the temperature to 400 °C/750 °F.
4. Wait for about 1 minute until the nozzle will melt solder, then
apply a generous coating of your solder to the end of the nozzle.
When the iron temperature reaches the set temperature, the
LED lamp will ash.
5. Use a soldering iron tip thermometer (optional accessory) to
measure the temperature at the tip of the nozzle. Do not apply
suction, as this will cause the temperature to drop.
6. Adjust CAL until the temperature is 400 °C/750 °F. Turn CAL
clockwise to increase the temperature.
• It may take several minutes for the nozzle temperature to
stabilize after CAL is adjusted.
• During CAL adjustment, make sure the set temperature does not go above 500℃/930°F,
as this may damage the desoldering tool.
