●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.
