6. OPERATION
The HAKKO FU-600 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) ;
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.

8. MAINTENANCE
Performing proper and periodic maintenance extends product life and contributes to the quality
of soldering work. Efficient soldering depends upon the temperature, the quality and quantity
of the solder and flux. Apply the following service procedure as dictated by the conditions of the usage.
Since the soldering iron can reach a very high temperature, please work carefully.
Except where indicated, always turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the
power plug before performing any maintenance procedure.
WARNING

Tip maintenance
1. Tip temperature
High temperatures shorten tip life and may cause thermal shock to components. Always use the
lowest possible temperature when soldering. The excellent thermal recovery characteristics of the
HAKKO FU-600 ensures effective soldering at low temperatures.
2. Cleaning
Always clean the soldering tip before use, to remove any residual solder or flux adhering to it by
using a tip cleaner. Contaminants on the tip have many deleterious effects, including reduced heat
conductivity, which contribute to poor soldering performance.
3. After use
Always clean the tip and coat it with fresh solder after use.
This guards against oxidation.
4. When the unit is not being used
Never allow the unit to idle at a high temperature for extended periods. This will allow the tip to
become oxidized. Turn the power switch OFF. If it is to be out of service for several hours, it is
advisable to disconnect the power plug as well.
5. Inspecting and cleaning the tip
This procedure, if followed daily, will materially add to tip life.
a. Set the temperature to 250℃ (482℉).
b. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip and check the condition of the tip.
If the tip is badly worn or deformed, replace it.
c. 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.
d. Turn the power OFF and remove the tip, using the heat resist pad. Set the tip aside to cool.
Remaining oxides can be removed with isopropyl alcohol.
CAUTION
NEVER file or use abrasive materials on the tip to remove oxides!
