INTRODUCTION.
Congratulations! You have purchased the most adaptable and efficient small fume extraction system on the market - the
Hakko HJ3100. To get the most out of your system, please read this manual thoroughly before installing and operating
the HJ3100.
NOTE.
American Hakko Products strongly recommends that especial attention be
given the sections on ‘Safety and Applications’ and ‘Operation’.
THE PURPOSE OF FUME EXTRACTION.
Soldering work involves both metallic and organic compounds. The solders themselves contain, besides tin and lead,
various levels of zinc, arsenic, cadmium, antimony and other metals. Fluxes necessary for soldering contain activators to
enhance their cleaning properties; these activators are typically organic acids. Such compounds, when heated, release
byproducts of incomplete combustion, which in turn can contain noxious fumes, particulate matter, aerosols, and gasses.
Prolonged breathing of these contaminants can lead to both short- and long-term operator irritations and illness.
THIS MANUAL.
This manual provides the user with the basic information required to properly use and maintain the Hakko HJ3100 fume
extraction system. Spare parts and accessories are described in the Appendix.
THE HAKKO HJ3100.
The Hakko HJ3100 fume extraction unit is designed expressly for use at soldering stations. It extracts the contaminated
air directly at the source. This contributes to a healthier and more productive work environment, and assists in achieving
recommended health and safety requirements for local exhaust ventilation and contaminant removal.
Salient features of the Hakko HJ3100 include:
A heavy-duty, maintenance-free brushless motor adaptable to either 100/125 or 220/230VAC, 50/60 Hz
A three-stage HEPA filtering process
One to four station fume extraction capability
A wide range of accessories (see Appendix A)
Five versions of the Hakko HJ3100 are available:
The basic HJ3100, with pre-filter and HEPA/carbon filter only. This version is for 100/115VAC applications.
The HJ3100-01, an HJ3100 equipped with a 230VAC motor and supplied with two six- foot lengths of 3" neoprene
duct (999-186), two rectangular hoods (999-138) and two packets of hose clamps, two per packet (999-169).
The HJ3100-02, a basic HJ3100 supplied with two six- foot lengths of 3" neoprene duct (999-186), two rectangular
hoods (999-138) and two packets of hose clamps, two per packet (999-169).
The HJ3100-03, a basic HJ3100 equipped with a 230VAC motor
The HJ3100-04, a basic HJ3100 but fitted with the 999-182 carbon filter in lieu of the 999-137 HEPA/carbon filter.
This version is not to be used in flammable or explosive atmospheres, or for removing odors arising from the use of
flammable or explosive chemicals; Appendix C provides a list of common industrial chemicals against which an
activated carbon filter is effective.
