For your safety
3 . Intended use
• Operational reliability can only be ensured, if the tool is
used as intended and in compliance with the indications
given in the operating instructions. Any deviation from the
intended use and/or any misapplication of the tool set is not
allowed and will be considered as improper use.
• Always ensure tools are used, inspected and maintained
in compliance with the respective local, state, national or
federal regulations.
• Torque wrenches with built-in angle gauge from HAZET
are designed solely for controlled tightening and undoing
of screw joints.
• The wrench is not intended to be used as a lever tool, clam-
ping tool or impact tool under any circumstances. Incorrect
use, use whilst failing to comply with the safety instructions
and overloading of the HAZET torque wrench with built-in
angle gauge can result in incorrect readings and/or failure
of the system (and therefore death, serious injury, health
problems and material damage).
• Torque wrenches with built-in angle gauge are calibrated
measurement tools and must be handled with due care.
Avoid any mechanical, chemical and thermal exposure
that goes beyond the stresses of normal use. The torque
wrench with built-in angle gauge must never be exposed
to rain or moisture or immersed in liquids. Do not allow
any foreign bodies to penetrate it and always ensure that
unused connectors are covered. Extreme climatic condi-
tions such as cold, heat and humidity can have an effect on
measurement values/results. Failure to comply with these
instructions can result in (irreparable) damage to the torque
wrench with built-in angle gauge.
• Incorrect use of the product tools or use whilst failing to
comply with the safety precautions can result in serious
injury.
• Any deviation from the intended use and/or any misappli-
cation of the tool is not allowed and will be considered as
improper use.
• Before using the device, check that the insert and/or the
insert tool holder used are seated firmly. Position the tool
so that it cannot slip from the screw joint. This poses a
hazard to persons and a risk of material damage.
• When using inserts or insert tool holders, ensure their
design conforms to standards and that their shape and size
are correct for the screw joint to be tightened.
• Also adhere to the maximum permitted load for the insert
or insert tool holder used. This can be lower than the achie-
vable release torque for the torque/angle wrench. Custom-
made tools can be dangerous and may not be used. Failure
to comply can result in injury and/or material damage.
• Any claims against the manufacturer and/or its authorised
agents because of damage caused by improper use of the
tool are void.
• Any personal injury or material losses caused by improper
use of the tool are the sole responsibility of the operator.
4 . Dangers that may arise from
the tool
• Never modify the tool. For safety reasons, any modification
of the HAZET electronic torque wrench with built-in angle
gauge is strictly forbidden. Do not remove safety devices
and/or housing parts. Never operate the tool when a pro-
tective cover is missing or when not all of the safety devices
are fitted and in perfect condition.
• The maximum permitted torque may not be exceeded in
either direction of operation. All indications concerning
threshold values, setting values and setting ranges must
be observed.
• Users must maintain a safe, balanced position when
working.
• Only use the tools at places that are governed and regula-
ted by applicable provisions for work areas.
CAUTION!
Do not use in areas susceptible to explosi-
ons
• Any claims against the manufacturer and/or its authorised
agents because of damage caused by improper use of the
tool are void. Any modification of the tool and/or improper
use will result in immediate exclusion from warranty and
liability. Any personal injury or material losses caused by
improper use of the tool are the sole responsibility of the
operator.
