How to change the solder diameter
You can change the solder diameter by replacing the teflon tube, the solder feed guide set or
the solder feed pulley unit.
The compatible solder diameters varies by model number of the HAKKO FU-500.
Please check your model number and then see the part list on the back cover of this manual when
you need some part replacement.

How to install the teflon tube
Turn the solder feed guide nozzle counterclockwise and remove the solder feed guide support.
You can now install the teflon tube. Lastly, insert the guide pipe.
The teflon tube is quite long in length. Cut the excess length of the teflon tube to leave an appropriate
length (about 3 to 5 mm) from the guide pipe before use.

Only use compatible solder of specified size.
Failing to do so may cause a failure.
The attachment of the solder feed pulley unit
for φ0.3mm (BX1000) is different.
Refer to the “How to set solder” in the BX1000.

Make sure that the teflon tube protrudes from the guide pipe before use.
Otherwise, the guide pipe may be clogged with solder.
It is important to use a cutter knife instead of scissors to cut the teflon tube carefully in order to prevent
the end of solder wire from being squished.
