3. WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES
Warnings, cautions and notes are placed at critical points in this manual to direct the operator's
attention to significant items. They are defined as follows:
WARNING: Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION : Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result in injury to the operator, or damage to the
items involved. Two examples are given below.
NOTE : A NOTE indicates a procedure or point that is important to the process being described.
EXAMPLE: An EXAMPLE is given to demonstrate a particular procedure point or process.
When power is ON, tip temperatures will be between 200°C and 450°C. (392°F to 840°F.) To avoid injury
or damage to personal and items in the work area, observe the following:
Do not touch the tip or the metal parts near the tip.
1
Do not allow the tip to come close to, or touch, flammable materials.
1
Inform others in the area that the unit is hot and should not be touched.
1
Turn the power off when not in use, or left unattended.
Turn the power off when changing parts or storing the HAKKO FX-951.
To prevent accidents or damage to the HAKKO FX-951, be sure to observe the following:
Do not use the HAKKO FX-951 for applications other than soldering.
Do not allow the HAKKO FX-951 to become wet, or use it when hands are wet.
Do not modify the HAKKO FX-951.
Use only genuine HAKKO replacement parts.
Do not bend or damage the control card. If the card does become damaged, do not force the card into

the station slot.
card
Do not strike the iron against hard objects to remove excess solder. This will damage the iron.
Be sure the work area is well ventilated. Soldering produces smoke.
While using HAKKO FX-951, don't do anything which may cause bodily harm or physical damage.
4. INITIAL SETUP
A. Iron holder
l Loosen the adjusting screws to change the angle of
the iron receptacle as you like, then tighten the
screws.
Iron holder
l The sponge is compressed. It will swell when mois-
tened with water. Before using the unit, dampen the
70 W (24 V)
sponge with water and squeeze it dry.
< 2 Ω 1. Put the small cleaning sponge in one of the five
< 2 mV holes in the iron holder base.
2. Add water to the iron holder base. The small
1.2 m (4 ft.)
sponge will keep the large sponge moist through
188 mm (7.4 in.) with 2.4D tip
capillary action.

3. Wet the large sponge, squeeze it dry and put it
on the iron holder base.
B. Handpiece cord assembly
Pass the iron cord through the hole in the heat
resistant pad.
C. Soldering station
CAUTION
Be sure the power switch is OFF before connect-
ing or disconnecting the soldering iron cord. Fail-
ure to do so may result in damage to the circuit
board.
1. Insert the power cord into the receptacle at the
back of the station.
Insert the soldering iron cord into the receptacle at
the front of the station.
2. Set the iron in the iron holder.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall socket.
CAUTION
The HAKKO FX-951 is protected against electro-
static discharge and must be grounded for full ef-
ficiency.
WARNING
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not set up the iron recep-
tacle too high, the tempera-
ture of the soldering iron will
become very hot.
CAUTION
Do not lay down the iron re-
ceptacle too much, it can be
easy to fall down.
CAUTION
Using the sponge without dampen with water
may damage the tips.
Insert the plug into
the receptacle until
it seats.
Receptacle
To disconnect, pull the plug
from the receptacle whilst
pressing down the tub on
the plug.
5. OPERATION
