CAUTION
WARNING
After the power is turned on, the blade temperature reaches approx. 200
°
C to 800
°
C (392
°
F to 1472
°
F).
Improper handling may cause burns or fire. Be sure to observe the following precautions:
Do not touch any metal area in the vicinity of blades.
Never use FT-800 near paper or other flammable materials.
Inform others in the area that the product is hot and should not be touched.
Turn the power off when not in use.
Before changing parts or storing the unit, be sure to turn the power off and allow the unit to cool to room
temperature.
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents or damage to the unit.
Do not use the HAKKO FT-800 for applications other than wire stripping.
To remove stripped insulation waste, do not apply excessive force to the unit such as striking the blade
against the workbench.
Do not modify the HAKKO FT-800.
Do not allow the HAKKO FT-800 to become wet, and do not use it with wet hands.
Since smoke is produced when using the wire stripper, be sure to ventilate the work area fully.
Do not take any actions that might be dangerous.

Blade attachment
1. Install the blades into the handpiece in the
correct direction as shown in the figures.
2. When attaching the blades, press them firmly
until the flange is locked into the handpiece.
NOTE:
Unless both blades are inserted fully, the blades
will not heat. Verify the flange of the blade comes
in contact with the handpiece.
CAUTION
Be sure to use the accessory heat
resistant pad when inserting or
removing the blade. Use the heat
resistant pad even when the blade is
not hot.
l
Lead adjustor attachment
The lead adjustor is used to set the wire
stripping length. See attachment directions for
proper installation.
NOTE:
The lead adjustor can set the wire strip length
from 1 - 19 mm or 20 - 38 mm.
The lead adjustor is marked with a 1 mm interval
scal. (Refer to the figure at right)
l
Turn on the power switch.
The
FT-800 station has a power save lamp and
the FT-8001 has a heater lamp.
After turning on the power, the heater lamp on
the FT-8001 will flash. The power save lamp on
the FT-800 station is lit when the FT-8001 is
placed in the handpiece holder.
When using the FT-8001, take the FT-8001 out
of the handpiece holder. When the temperature
stabilizes, the heater lamp will change from
flashing to being continuously lit.
l
Power save mode
When the FT-8001 is placed in the handpiece
holder, the power save mode is on. When in the
power save mode, the blade temperature is
reduced by approx.50% (under 300
°
C;572
°
F
).
Status of lamps during the power save mode
l
Temperature setting
1. Set the temperature adjustment knob to the
desired level.
NOTE:
Aging of the blade heater may deteriotate the
blade performace. If such a deterioration results
in a difficulty in melting the wire insulation, use
the temperature adjustment knob to raise the
temperature setting of the blade.
CAUTION
Since the temperature of the blade is very hot,
place the FT-8001 in the handpiece holder when
not using it.
