2. Vaega Autu

• Purpose-Built: Specifically designed for depaneling printed circuit boards (PCBs) in multiple circuit board production.
• Optimal Width: Features a 1.5mm width, suitable for various PCB designs.
• Isthmus Compatibility: Can be used with boards having an isthmus (tab) up to 2.5mm.
• Efficient Cutting Force: Provides a 40kg cutting force, utilizing a shearing action to prevent delamination of the board material during separation.
• Fausiaga Tumau: Made from heat-treated carbon steel for enhanced durability and extended service life.
• Fa'ainisinia sa'o: Equipped with precision-ground holes and surfaces for accurate and smooth movement.
• Fuafuaga Ergonomic: Features dolphin-style nonslip hand grips for comfortable and controlled operation.
• Vaega o le Saogalemu: A curved fore-edge protects hands from cutting surfaces during use.
• Tete'e a'e: Parkerized surfaces prevent glare and increase resistance to corrosion.

1. Tatalaina: Carefully remove the Hakko CHP DP-15-N tool from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
2. Saogalemu Muamua: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, when operating the tool to protect against flying debris.
3. Vaega o Galuega: Ensure your work area is clean, well-lit, and free from obstructions. A stable work surface is recommended.
4. Inspect PCB: Before cutting, inspect the PCB to identify the designated scoring lines or tabs (isthmus) for separation. Ensure the PCB material and thickness are within the tool's specifications (up to 2.5mm isthmus).

4. Fa'atonuga o Galuega

The Hakko CHP DP-15-N tool operates by a shearing action to cleanly separate PCBs.

1. Grip the Tool: Hold the tool firmly by its nonslip hand grips. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable and secure hold.
2. Position the PCB: Carefully align the cutting jaws of the tool with the isthmus (tab) or scoring line on the printed circuit board that needs to be separated. Ensure the PCB is stable and does not shift during the cutting process.
3. Fa'atatau Omiga: Apply steady and firm pressure to the handles to close the jaws. The 40kg cutting force will shear through the PCB material.
4. Clean Cut: Continue applying pressure until the PCB sections are cleanly separated. The shearing action is designed to minimize stress on the board and prevent delamination.
5. Toe fai: For PCBs with multiple connection points, reposition the tool and repeat the cutting process for each tab until the board is fully separated.

Fa'aaliga: Always ensure the cutting jaws are clean and free of debris before and after each use to maintain optimal performance and tool longevity.

5. Tausiga

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Hakko CHP DP-15-N Depaneling Tool.

• Fa'amamaina: After each use, wipe the tool clean with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove any dust, debris, or PCB residue.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point to ensure smooth operation. Avoid over-lubrication.
• Teuina: Store the tool in a dry, clean environment, away from excessive moisture or corrosive substances. Keep the jaws closed when not in use to protect the cutting edges.
• Asiasiga: Regularly inspect the cutting jaws for any signs of wear, nicks, or damage. Damaged jaws can affect cutting performance and may require replacement or professional sharpening.

6. Faʻafitauli

• Faigata ona tipi:
  • Ensure the PCB is properly aligned with the cutting jaws.
  • Check if the PCB's isthmus thickness exceeds the tool's 2.5mm capacity.
  • Inspect the cutting jaws for wear or damage.
• Rough Cuts or Delamination:
  • Verify that the tool is positioned correctly on the isthmus.
  • Ensure a steady and firm pressure is applied during the cut.
  • Check for any foreign material in the jaws.
• Fa'agaioiga Malosi:
  • Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point.
  • Clean any accumulated debris around the pivot.
