USE OF EXTENSIONS
Extensions that put the center of the fastener being tightened away Frpm the centerline of the ratchet drive, result in the
effective torque being different from the one shown on the wrench. Consequently, the torque set on the wrench must be
corrected using the formula shown on the next page.

APPLYING TORQUE
1. Insert an appropriate socket or drive attachment onto the square drive of the ratchet and onto the fastener you want to
tighten.
2. Apply hand pressure to the grip, and ONLY TO THE GRIP. You may support the wrench at the ratchet head with the other
hand to steady it, especially when using long socket extensions, without appreciably affecting the accuracy of the wrench
3. If, due to the required effort, you need to use both hands, put the other hand on the top of the first hand, never on any
other part of the wrench.
4. Apply slow and steady pull or push until the wrench momentarily releases, with or without a distinct "click" sound. Release
the pressure right at this point. DO NOT OVERTORQUE!
SAFETY WARNING
Overtorqued or defective fasteners, sockets, as well as the wrench itself, may suddenly break causing you to lose bal ance, fall,
or to suffer other trauma. Be sure that you have firm footing, are properly balanced, and if necessary are us ing appropriate
harness, back support, or other safety device.
MAINTANANCE
1. When not in use, adjust the wrench to its lowest read ing (except on Preset and Electronic torque wrenches), and store it
in the provided case.
2. With the exception of the ratchet mechanism, do not lubricate the wrench. The ratchet mechanism may be lubricated as
