WARNING

Read operation manual completely
before using torque instrument and
store for future reference.

Wear safety goggles-both user and
bystanders

• An out of calibration torque wrench

can cause part or tool breakage

• Periodic re-calibration is necessary to

maintain accuracy

• Do not exceed rated torque as

overtorquing can cause wrench or part
failure

• Do not use torque instrument to break

fasteners loose

• Do not use cheater extension on the

handle to apply torque

• Broken or slipping tools can cause

injury.

CAUTION

- RATCHET HEAD

Ratchet mechanism may slip or break
if dirty, mismatched or worn parts are
used, or direction lever is not fully
engaged. Ratchets that slip or break
can cause injury.

MAINTENANCE / sERvICE

1. The torque wrench’s internal mechanism is

permanently lubricated during assembly.

Do not

attempt to lubricate the internal mechanism.

2. Clean torque wrench by wiping.

Do not immerse.

3. Store torque wrench in protective tube at its lowest

torque setting.

Do not force handle below lowest

setting.

ADJUsTMENTs OF

TORQUE sETTINGs

Before using all models of dial torque wrenches, it is
strongly suggested to cycle/operate them 3 times at
full scale in the torque direction in which they will be
used. Dial torque wrenches must always be

zeroed

before use.

1. Turn bezel (CCW) until light and buzzer goes on.

2. Continue to turn bezel (CCW) until inner

zero of

desired scale (English or Metric) is lined up with
orange pusher needle.

3. Now turn bezel (CW) until light goes off and
orange pusher needle is aligned with desired torque
graduation in inner portion of scale orange pusher
needle is now preset to desired torque value.

4. Apply force to handle in the (CW) direction. When
the preset torque value is reached the light and
buzzer will go on. When force on the handle is
released orange pusher needle will return to the
preset torque value.

UsE OF ExTENsIONs

AND ADAPTERs

When using an extension or adapter (increasing the
effective length of the torque wrench) the output
torque value will change. To calculate the new torque
output of the wrench use the following formula:

TA = Torque exerted @ end of adapter
L = Distance between square drive and hand position
TW = Wrench scale reading
A = Length of adapter or extension

A number of variables can affect torque accuracy.
These include the length of an adapter or extension,
length of the wrench and variations in hand position
on the wrench will affect the accuracy of the above
calculation.

TW =

TA x L

L + A

5. To change the preset torque value to another,
turn the bezel as required to the new torque value
within the same dial graduation and proceed as in
step 4 above.

6. For CCW torque reverse directions in steps 1
through 5.

7.

IMPORTANT - Always make sure that the electric

contact arm is

zeroed.
