CAUTION
To prevent accidents or damage to the FP-101, be sure to observe the following:
● Do not use the FP-101 for applications other than soldering.
● Do not allow the FP-101 to become wet, or use it with wet hands.
● Do not modify the FP-101.
● 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.
● Do not strike the iron against hard objects to remove excess solder. This may damage the
iron.
● Remove power and iron cords by holding the plug, not the wires.
● Be sure the work area is well ventilated. Soldering produces smoke.
