CAUTION
This product includes such features as electrically conductive plastic parts and grounding of the handpiece and station as
measures to protect the device to be soldered from the effects of static electricity. Be sure to observe the following instructions:
1. The handle and other plastic parts are not insulators, they are conductors. When replacing parts or repairing,
take sufficient care not to expose live electrical parts or damage insulation materials.
2. Be sure to ground the unit during use.

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 FX-801, be sure to observe the following:
●Do not use the HAKKO FX-801 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-801.
●Use only genuine Hakko replacement parts.
●Do not allow the HAKKO FX-801 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.
●Do not block station of the inlet (outlet).
●While using the HAKKO FX-801, don’t do anything which may cause bodily harm or
physical damage.
Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result in injury to the operator, or damage to the
items involved. Two examples are given below.
Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in serious injury or death.WARNING:
CAUTION :
WARNING
When power is ON, tip temperatures will be between 50 and 500℃. (120 to 940℉)
To avoid injury or damage to personnel and items in the work area, observe the following:
● Do not touch the tip or the metal parts near the tip.
● Do not allow the tip to come close to, or touch, flammable materials.
● Inform others in the area that the unit is hot and should not be touched.
● Turn the power off when not in use, or left unattended.
● Turn the power off when changing parts or storing the HAKKO FX-801.
● This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

5. INITIAL SETUP
CAUTION
Do not set up the iron receptacle too high, the
temperature of the soldering iron will become very hot.
Connecting cable
CAUTION
Be sure to turn off the power before connecting or
disconnecting the connecting cable.
A. Iron holder
● Loosen the adjusting screws to change the angle
of the iron receptacle as you like, then tighten the
screws.
● Use of the sleep function
When using the sleep function, insert one end of the connecting cable
into the jack at the back of the iron holder and the other end into the
jack at the back of the soldering station to connect them.
1. Assemble as shown:
● Insert the holder assembly securely into the Iron holder base.
2. Operation:
First, remove any excess solder from the tip by thrusting the tip into the cleaning
wire. (Do not wipe the tip against the wire. This may cause molten solder to
spatter.) When the wire becomes dirty or loaded with solder, turn 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.
3. Place the spare tips in the tip tray.
B. Handpiece cord assembly
Pass the iron cord through the hole in the heat
resistant pad.
C. Soldering station
1. Insert the power cord into the receptacle at the back of the station.
Insert the soldering iron cord into the receptacle at the front of the
station.
2. Set the iron in the iron holder.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall socket.
The iron receptacle has two grooves. If the edge
of the iron tip is likely to come into contact with the
iron holder or the iron holder becomes hot, use the
groove closer to you to attach the iron receptacle.
Normal conditions
If the iron holder
becomes hot
Insert the plug into
the receptacle until
it seats.
To disconnect, pull the plug
from the receptacle whilst
pressing down the tub on
the plug.
CAUTION
Be sure the power switch is OFF before connecting or disconnecting the
soldering iron cord. Failure to do so may result in damage to the circuit board.
CAUTION
The HAKKO FX-801 is protected against electrostatic
discharge and must be grounded for full efficiency.

6. OPERATION

The HAKKO FX-801 has the following four control buttons.
When press for less than one second, enters preset number selection screen.
When press and hold for at least one second, enters preset temperature
changing screen.
Increase the value in the appropriate display window.
Decrease the value on the display.
End of sequence signal (terminates a phase in a data entry mode) ;
Pressing and holding the button will start the temperature setting mode.
when press for less than one second, displays current set temperature.
When press and hold for at least one second, enters offset mode.
When press for less than one second, displays current offset value.
An audible buzzer is provided to alert the operator.
● When the station has reached the set temperature, a buzzer will sound once.
● When the low temperature threshold has been crossed, a buzzer will sound continuously.
This buzzer will shutoff when the sensed temperature returns to the acceptable range.
● When there is the possibility that a failure has occured in the sensor or heater, a buzzer will
sound continuously.
Operation
1.Turn on the power switch.
2.Once the temperature is reached, a buzzer sounds.
By default, the temperature is set to 350℃. (662℉)
Check the temperature setting by pressing the button.
The set temperature will be displayed fro two seconds.
CAUTION
WARNING
This tool must be placed on its stand when not in use.
