This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
To prevent accidents or damage to the HAKKO FX-889, be sure to observe the following:
● Do not use the HAKKO FX-889 for applications other than soldering.
● Do not strike the iron against hard objects to remove excess solder. This will damage the iron.
● Do not modify the HAKKO FX-889.
● Use only genuine HAKKO replacement parts.
● Do not allow the HAKKO FX-889 to become wet, or use it with wet hands.
● Remove power and iron cords by holding the plug, not the wires.
● Be sure the work area is well ventilated. Soldering produces smoke.
● While using the HAKKO FX-889, don’t do anything which may cause bodily harm or physical damage.

holder base.
(2) Cleaning Wire
Place it in the iron holder as shown on the right.
See “B.Using a Cleaning Wire” in section
“7. MAINTENANCE”.
4. INITIAL SETUP
B. After use
Always clean the tip and coat it with fresh solder after use.
（Refer to “Tip Maintenance.”）

The HAKKO FX-889 has the following parameters.
Performing proper and periodic maintenance extends product life. Efficient soldering depends upon
the temperature, quality and quantity of the solder and 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.
1. Press and hold the button for at least
two seconds.

C. Performing the temperature adjustment
When replacing the iron, heater or tip, a temperature adjustment may be required.
Use adjustment mode to perform the temperature adjustment.
• Enter the observed value in the adjustment mode after the tip temperature stabilizes.
• The maximum single adjustment that can be made is ±150℃ (270℉) relative to the set temperature.
If a larger adjustment is needed, make the first adjustment at the maximum value of 150℃ (270℉),
then repeat the adjustment process.
• When a new soldering iron is used or insertion position is changed from A.IRON to B.IRON (and vice
versa), temperature adjustment is always required.
CAUTION

7. MAINTENANCE
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.
7. MAINTENANCE
A. Using the cleaning sponge
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.
B. Using the cleaning wire
Material that is not removed easily with the cleaning
sponge can likely be removed using the cleaning wire.
C. Using the rubber plate
Wipe the iron lightly across the rubber ring to remove
excess solder from the tip.
