OPERATION
• Set torque wrench to the desired torque value (see previous section: Setting the Torque Value).
• Install appropriate socket to the square drive and place the socket securely over the fastener
• Center hand on the handle grip and apply a steady force in the tightening direction until a
noticeable “click” is felt and heard.
Immediately stop pulling once the “click” is achieved.
The fastener is now torqued to the desired setting.
• After each use, unlock the black knurled knob and rotate handle counterclockwise until the
torque wrench is at its lowest setting then re-lock the rotating handle in this position.
This will release any internal tension and allow the torque wrench to maintain calibration
as long as possible.
• Always bring fasteners to near final tightness with conventional tools before tightening with
Torque Wrench to final torque. Never use the Torque Wrench as a general ratchet to tighten
or loosen fasteners or permanent damage can occur.
