3. WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES
WARNING
CAUTION
To prevent accidents or damage to the HAKKO FR-400, be sure to observe the following:
● Do not use the unit for applications other than desoldering.
● Do not strike the handpiece against hard objects to remove excess solder. This will
damage the handpiece.
● Do not modify the HAKKO FR-400.
● Use only genuine HAKKO replacement parts.
● Do not allow the HAKKO FR-400 to become wet, or use it when hands are wet.
●
Be sure to hold the plug when inserting or removing the handpiece and power cords.
● 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 FR-400, don't do anything which may cause bodily harm
or physical damage.
When power is ON, the nozzle will be hot. To avoid injury or damage to
personnel and items in the work area, observe the following:
● Donottouchthenozzleorthemetalpartsnearthenozzle.
● Donotallowthenozzletocomecloseto,ortouch,flammablematerials.

Loosen the adjusting screws to change the angle
of the handpiece receptacle as you like, then tighten
the screws.
4. INITIAL SETUP
A. Handpiece holder
First, remove any excess solder from the nozzle by
thrusting the nozzle into the cleaning wire. (Do not wipe
the nozzle against the wire. This may cause molten
solder to spatter.)
● Operation
Following the instructions given in the illustration
on the right, assemble the handpiece holder.
1. Insert the holder assembly securely into the handpiece
holder base.
2. When the cleaning wire becomes dirty or loaded with
solder, turn the wire until a clean surface is presented.
3. When changing the cleaning wire, lift the top vertically
to prevent solder debris from falling out.
CAUTION
Do not set up the angle of the handpiece receptacle too high, or
the temperature of the handpiece will become very hot.
B. HAKKO FR-4001
● Replacingthefilter
Replace the filter as shown following steps
A to C. During operation, the filter pipe is
very hot. Wait until the filter pipe is cool
before replacing the filter or cleaning.
We recommend keeping a second filter
pipe containing new filters handy, and
replacing the installed filter pipe with this
secondary filter pipe.
B. Pull
A. Down
C. Replace the entire filter pipe with
a secondary filter pipe.

3. Set the HAKKO FR-4001 in the handpiece holder.
4. Connect the hose from the HAKKO FR-4001
to the filter case cover on the HAKKO FR-400
station.
5. Plug the power cord into a grounded power outlet.
Ensure that the power switch is OFF before inserting
the AC plug.
CAUTION
Be sure to ground this product as it is ESD
safe by design.
6. Turn the power switch ON.
Turn the power

Connect the hose.
C. Station
CAUTION
Be sure to hold the plug when inserting or removing the handpiece cord.
● Connection
1. Connect the power cord to the receptacle on the
rear of the station.
2. Connect the plug from the HAKKO FR-4001
to the receptacle on the HAKKO FR-400.
CAUTION
Connect the plug to the receptacle, aligning
the tab on the plug with the opening on the
receptacle.
Insert the plug into
the receptacle until
it seats.
