Ratchet Head Guidelines
• Store in a cool, dry location
• Oil frequently to prevent ratchet head from becoming stiff and seizing
• Do not exceed specified torques
• Do not use external forces on ratchet (i.e. a hammer)
• Max Torques: 1/4” = 30 N.m, 3/8” = 135 N.m, 1/2” = 340 N.m
Guidelines
The following are a set of general guidelines for using and storing the wrench that
should be adhered to at all times.
• All torque tools are precision instruments and should be handled with care
• Do not subject the tool to torque loads in excess of the model range
• Do not use the tool to loosen fasteners tightened beyond maximum tool capacity
• Using non-linear extensions may affect the accuracy of the readings
• The use of torque extensions will increase the torque applied
• Do not operate the tool unless it has been powered on and the display screen can
be read clearly
• Do not drop the tool or subject it to heavy impact blows
• Ensure the tool is stored in a cool, dry location to protect from damage
• Adhere to safety instructions
• Torque should be applied to the center of the torque wrench handle as torque is
length dependent
• Ensure safe footing and safe force application
