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 onto the plug.
●Be sure the work area is well ventilated. Soldering produces smoke.
●Be sure the cooling fan at the rear of the station is unrestricted.
●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.
Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in serious injury or death.WARNING:

1. Assemble as shown:
●Insert the tip cleaner 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.

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.
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
alternate groove to attach the iron receptacle.
Normal conditions
If the iron holder
becomes hot
Insert the plug into
the receptacle until
it clicks.
To disconnect, pull the plug
from the receptacle while
pressing down the tab 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

changing screen.
Use to increase the value in the appropriate display window.
Use to decrease the value in the appropriate display window.
Press for less than one second to display the current set temperature.
Press and hold for at least one second to enter temperature setting mode.
Use to end the current operation.
Press for less than one second to display the current offset value.
Press and hold for at least one second to enter offset mode.
An audible buzzer is provided to alert the operator when:
●The station has reached the set temperature, a buzzer will sound once.
●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.
●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 set temperature is reached, a buzzer sounds once.
By default, the temperature is set to 350℃ (750℉ for US model).
Check the temperature setting by pressing the button.
The set temperature will be displayed for two seconds.
CAUTION
WARNING
Place soldering iron in iron holder when not in use.
