4. Operation
4-1. Replacing the pot
CAUTION
Turn o󰀨 the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet, then make sure the solder has hardened
and that the pot has cooled to a safe ambient temperature before replacing the pot.
(1) Loosen (do not remove) the two screws securing the pot with the 2 mm hexagon wrench.
(2) Replace the pot.
(3) While pressing down on the pot with your hand, gradually tighten the screws evenly on both sides until the
pot is rmly secure.
NOTE Excessively tightening the screws can cause the pot to lift up or the chassis to deform.

The internal pot temperature can change if it contains too many
impurities. The internal pot temperature changes if you replace the
pot, so the o󰀨set will need to be readjusted. Make sure to change
the o󰀨set value as needed while monitoring the actual internal pot
temperature.
You can automatically change the o󰀨set value using a HAKKO
thermometer with a temperature sending function. Push the
button before sending the measured value. (See the gure on the

6. Maintenance
CAUTION
Use with caution, this product get hot during use.
Conducting maintenance will help keep the product in good condition and prolong the usage of the unit.
■Daily maintenance
Wear and tear on the pot will vary due to the operating temperature as well as the quality and amount of
solder used. Maintenance should be performed based on what suits your usage.
Setting
temperature
Using the product at a temperature that is higher than necessary can accelerate pot
deterioration and damage parts that are susceptible to heat. Use lowest temperature
whenever possible.
Before
beginning
work
●Pot
When cool, remove the pot and visually check the following:
・Are there any holes in the pot?
・Has any solder leaked onto the heat
insulation plate?
・Has any foreign matter collected on the heat
insulation plate?
Make sure to change the orientation of the pot
each time you remove it. Doing so can slow
pot deterioration.
●Solder pot cover
Remove any solder stuck to the cover. Doing
so can prevent any solder from unintentionally
falling into the pot. Make sure to do so when
changing the solder type.
When pausing
work Turn o󰀨 the unit for long periods of unused time.
●Solder
Remove any oxidation or foreign matter in the molten solder using the spatula.
7. Troubleshooting
CAUTION
Before performing an inspection or replacing parts, make sure to disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
No operation even if
power switch is turned
ON.
Is the power cord connected? Connect the power cord to the main
unit.
Is the fuse blown?
Replace the fuse.
If the fuse is blown again, send the
main unit back for service.
[L - E] is displayed.
Is there any foreign matter on
the heat insulation plate located
under the pot?
Remove/clean any foreign matter.
Is there any holes in the pot and
has solder leaked into the interior
of the main unit?
Remove the solder and replace the pot.
[S - E] is displayed. Is the heating element connected
to the board? Connect it to the board.
The internal pot
temperature is too high/
low.
Is the o󰀨set value entered
correct?
Measure and adjust the value.
(See " ■Internal pot temperature
correction (o󰀨set)" in "4-3. Operation")
Is one of the heating elements
burnt out?
If the resistance of the heating element
is abnormal, replace it.
(See "How to check the heating element
resistance")
Is the heating element connected
to the board? Connect it to the board.
If you cannot nd a solution in this manual, or if another problem occurs, please contact the retailer
where you purchased the product.
How to check the heating element resistance
(1) Disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
(2) Remove the pot when it is cool.
(3) Remove the screws and washer securing the cover.
(4) Open the cover.
(5) Disconnect the heating element connector from
the board.
(6) Measure the resistance of the heating element
when it is at room temperature.
(See below for pin layout and resistance
references)
(7) Replace the heating element if the value is
abnormal.
