READ BEFORE YOU USE
1.
This torque wrench is a precision instrument
intended to be used only to tighten screws, bolts and
nuts to a desired torque. Do not use it as a "nut
breaker", pry bar, or in lieu of a regular ratchet.
2. Do not apply torque in excess of the
maximum
capacity of the wrench
.
3.
Apply load to the grip only
, and do not use any
handle extension bars. Any such misuse will result in
inaccurate readings, and it may damage the wrench.
4. Make sure that you adjust the wrench to the
exact
torque units
your specifications call for, or you will
severely under-torque or over-torque, causing severe
damage to the equipment you are working on.
5.
Do not disassemble
the wrench for any reason.
Highly stressed internal components may cause
severe injury when released in an unintended manner.
6. The wrench should be
re-calibrated periodically
. The
calibration of the wrench should be checked at least
once a year, after any abnormal handling or
overloading, or after 10,000 uses.

7. This torque wrench indicates when the preset torque
has been reached by
releasing for a few degrees
of free
travel, which is usually accompanied by an audible
"click" signal.
