■ Do not use worn or damaged accessories (sockets or extension
pieces), as these may negatively infl uence the actuation accuracy.
■ Do not use hinged or ball joints, as these can lead to incorrect
settings of the torque.
■ When you use the tool for the fi rst time, and after a long storage
period, it is important to operate the torque wrench a few times,
for the purpose of uniform lubrication of the mechanism, before
the actual torque is set.
■ Ensure that the torque is set at the lowest level (28 Nm) if you are
not using the torque wrench.
■ Do not turn the setting below the lowest torque marking (less than
28 Nm).
■ This tool is robust and suitable for domestic use, but it is also a
precision tool and should therefore be treated as such.
■ Before each use check the correct setting of the actuation value
and the correct seating of the accessory being used.
■ Store the torque wrench exclusively at room temperatures (15° -
25°C) so as not to falsify the actuation levels.
■ A calibration of the torque wrench should be performed only by
qualifi ed personnel.
